Problem with multi-touch screen when lid is closed

I have a T400s with the MT screen, running a clean installed Win 7 32-bit and all latest Lenovo drivers/BIOS.
I use external screen/keyboard/mouse at work so I am used to have the lid closed. I set in power management in the way that closing the lid does not do anything (e.g., sleep or hibernate).
The problem is: when the lid is fully closed and external mouse is used, the mouse cursor randomly moves and clicks. When random clicks happen, I can see the finger-tap animation near the cursor on the external screen, suggesting that the MT screen receives input even when the lid is closed! It might be heat from the palm rest/keyboard area causing fake taps.
Leaving the lid slightly open (like 15 degrees) solves this problem.
EDIT 1: another clue of the above problem is that while the lid is closed, Windows 7's tablet input panel shows up on the left edge, which typically appears after a tap or a tablet pen gets close to the screen. I also noticed that the random clicks take place near the right edge of the screen.
Solved!

@ wesleyyin,
certainly strange. Some questions to help with the diagnostics;
Which TrackPoint cap you you have on your keyboard, soft domed, soft rim or classic domed (the hairy one)?
Can you try disabling the TrackPoint to see the problem goes away?
Anything else laid on top of the system or between screen and keyboard like a thin cloth or something?
Thanks

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    Try this for the freezing

    Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

  • Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    Are there any other left eye dominant (or left handed) iPhone users that experience problems with the touch screen keyboard selecting the letter next to the one you'd intended..?

    It's either hand right or left.
    I have the same issue myself.  Not sure if it's b/c my fingers are too big or if I'm really missed the letter on the keyboard.

  • Serious Problems with Iphone Touch Screen

    Hi,
    I am facing following issues with my Iphone. Could you please help/guide me how to get them resolved
    1) I think some portion of the Touch Screen has stopped working. For e.g. when i type the message in normal mode then SEND button is disabled even if i try 10 times i am not able to send the message.
    Therefore, as a work around i need to tilt my iphone to widescreen mode and then tap on send...it works....but it is very irritating
    2) Many a times Iphone on its own dials the numbers in the contact list/recent dialled/missed call
    3) If i leave SMS screen open for some time, then it automatically starts typing characters randomly
    4) The same behavior is also there in Ipod i.e. it own its own changes the song
    These are the main problems which i am facing ,,,anyone else facing similar issues?
    I have already tried following things
    1) Restarted the iphone n number of times but to no success
    2) I have also tried reset option
    Please help me how can i get these issues resolved pls.

    Have you tried a restore in iTunes?

  • Problem with G500s Touch Screen

    I'm experiencing a problem with my G500s Touch, i am not touching the screen but it makes a lot of random inputs and appears contextual menu (like right click). It's really annoying, one of these days i'm going to throw this laptop through my apartment's window.
    I already opened device manager and deleted all HID interfaces and reinstalled. Reinstalled Elan Drivers (i think maybe it is the problem, elan driver), i used windows restore 3 times and i still have the problem.
    A Quick solution for this: Ctrl + Alt + Del, then Escape. And you will not have this problem in the next 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes.
    Please, if you have solution for this problem.
    Regards.
    Solved!

    hi sishio,
    From your observation, it looks like the Touchscreen is malfunctioning.
    Can you try the following 
    1. Under the Device Manager > Human Interface Devices, can you do a right click and disable on anything that says HID-compliant device (this is the driver that controls the touchscreen). 
    2. When finished, reboot the system and observe if you still get the same issue.
    If the problem gets fixed, you may need to contact lenovo and report your findings as you may need to send the unit for service.

  • How do I turn off the tiny Shuffle-sized iPod Nano (v6 with a touch screen) when not using its iOS?

    Hello and happy new year.
    I decided to use this used iPod Nano (touch screen) as an eight/8 GB flash disk/storage (FAT32). I can access the files just fine. I can always restore it back to use iOS quickly and easily if needed.
    However, it never seems to turn off/sleep. I tried holding down the big button on top right (next to the two volume controls [+ and -]), but it never does anything. Also, it says "OK to disconnect." when disconnected.
    So, I restored its iOS v1.2 from an old 15" MacBook Pro (2008; Mac OS X 10.5.8) onto it and can turn off easily. However, I cannot access its drive since it is not a MS FS and Windows XP Pro. SP3 asked me to format. How can I turn it off and still use it as an 8 GB USB flash disk/drive without installing and using iTunes?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey,
    Holding in the play/pause and the menu (select) button will force the iPod into disk mode. This is the stand by mode you are talking about.
    To turn your iPod off properly you will want to hold down the play/pause button until the screen goes blank and then turn the hold switch on. This is cause the iPod to go to the Apple screen when it turns back on.
    Hope this helps,
    Ms D.

  • Problems with SKIP FIRST Screen when calling a transaction variant

    Hi,
    I have a transaction variant of VA02 that suppresses the display of the pricing button on the conditions screen. I have created a variant transaction for called ZA02 which calls this variant of VA02.
    In my program I have coded the following :-
          SET PARAMETER ID 'AUN' FIELD  VBELN.
          SET PARAMETER ID 'VPO' FIELD  POSNR.
          CALL TRANSACTION 'ZA02' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
    I would have expected the program to display the second screen of VA02 but it displays the first screen and when I hit return key the second screen is then displayed.
    I don't think I need VPO setting but when I code
          SET PARAMETER ID 'AUN' FIELD  VBELN.
          SET PARAMETER ID 'VPO' FIELD  POSNR.
          CALL TRANSACTION 'VA02' AND SKIP FIRST SCREEN.
    VA02's second screen is displayed
    Any help as to how to Skip this first screen with ZA02 would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Rous

    Yes you are right Reg thanks for that.
    But it appears that VA02 doesn't require it setting anyway. I changed the PID to APO and indeed I've even commented the line out, but my program goes to the second screen when calling VA02 but stays on the first screen when calling ZA02 .

  • I'm having problems with my touch screen in Safari

    Shortly after downloading iOS 8.0, I started having trouble with my touchscreen when in Safari. Note: I am not necessarily attributing the problem to iOS 8.0--just stating when it began to occur.
    Touch commands began to not work with certain buttons on certain websites. Often, the websites seemed to freeze up. I could sometimes get the touch commands to work again if I refreshed the page.
    My most frustrating encounter happened this evening, when I tried to make a purchase from a retail website I use frequently. I could use the touchscreen to accomplish all the steps in the shopping process but one: I could not get the "cart" button to work, so I could not get to the checkout screen. I refreshed and rebooted. I even downloaded iOS 8.1 and tried it again. Nothing worked. Finally, I used my wife's iPad Mini to place the order. My wife has not downloaded the new iOS 8 (neither 8.0 nor 8.1). Again, I am not necessarily implying it worked on her iPad Mini because she had not downloaded the new operating system--just stating that she had not done so.
    Any idea what might be causing this? It does not appear to be a hardware problem, as my touchscreen seems to work fine in other applications.

    DId you try clearing Safari, force close it and then reset the iPad?
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History and Website Data
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Problem with the touch screen

    All buttons but phone, email, safari, and ipod work but these 4 do not.
    Do i need a new one?

    If a reset doesn't restore full function, then try a restore. If a restore doesn't work then yes, a return and exchange is in store.

  • Multi-touch screen not recognized

    I have a  brand new W510 configured with Windows Ultimate x64.  
    Within a few hours of running the machine, the touch screen stopped responding.  A reboot fixed that.  This happened several more times, and then rebooting stopped working.
    Disabling then re-enabling the USB devices was the next step, and that worked for a while (in computer management/device manager/Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click and select "disable" then right-click and select "enable").  That stopped working last night.  I upped the response to uninstalling ALL of the usb devices under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers", rebooting, and letting Windows 7 x64 re-install them on boot.  Worked a few times, and now that isn't working.
    I'm starting to think that there is a loose connection internally between the multi-touch device controller for the screen and the USB connector, but all of the other device drivers for the W510/Windows 7 x64 combination seem buggy enough that I can't rule out a really buggy driver.
    The problem device seems to be listed as an "unknown device" enumerated under the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" entry in device manager.  Here is a dump of some of the data about that device:

    Early on I had a problem earlier with the NEC USB 3.0 Host Controller driver, but the Windows 7 troubleshooter fixed that.  Looking at its log, it looks like it also temporarily fixed the problem with the touch screen USB connection, and that was before I took the steps I outlined above.  Here is the output from that:
    Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3B34 has a driver problem Fixed  
    There is a problem with the driver for Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3B34. The driver needs to be reinstalled.

    Reinstall device driver Completed 
    There is a problem with the driver for Intel(R) 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 3B34. Reinstalling the driver might fix this problem. 
    Has anybody else had this problem?  I really don't want to have paid a lot extra for a touch-screen that doesn't have drivers capable of making it work reliably.
    Signature goes here.

    I would have loved to try the Fn + F6 test, but the machine stopped getting past POST, so I can't even get to the BIOS.  The machine just gives the feel that the bios and a lot of the drivers were pushed to production too early, and still behave a bit like beta-phase software.  My plan is to return the W510 (which I really liked for the few moments it was working) and wait probably six months, then order it again.  By then I hope they will have the drivers and bios issues corrected.  There may also be hardware issues (they had trouble with long ship dates, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the hardware was also not ready for mass production).  Either way, six months is plenty of time for Lenovo to get it all together.
    You would think that this experience would sour me on Lenovo, but (absent some surprise in the refund process), I have to say that Lenovo handled this very well.  They apologized, acknowledged that in my position they might well feel the same way, took responsibility for the problem (including paying for return shipping and arranging UPS pickup) and promised a full refund.  They treated me like they view customers as assets, not annoyances.  Despite my bad experience with the hardware, my experience with the company was sufficiently positive that overall, my chances of order from them again are higher now than they were before this incident.
    So bad copy of the hardware, or possibly unstable drivers and bios, plus good customer service and taking responsibility for their mistake = increased customer loyalty.  I'm glad Lenovo understands the formula.  Now I just hope my aging T61 holds out long enough for me to order a W510 *after* they work the bugs out.
    Signature goes here.

  • Connect to multi touch screen

    Dear,
    I would like to connect flash 8 with multi touch screen which
    is not like single touch screen (use same event with mouse). The
    multi touch screen (iNexio) sent me the API (or SDK). There are 4

    but I do not know how to connect flash 8 to multi touch screen.
    Can anyone suggest me how to do it (step-by-step please)? If
    flash 8 is not support, what version is support?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    Hello Mogulman46,
    So what that means is when you have Do Not Disturb turned on, you may have an alert depending on the setting and how you are using your iPhone. So if it is set to Always, then that means that no matter what, your iPhone will not be notified. If it set to Only while the iPhone is locked, then that means that you will not get notification when your iPhone is locked but you will get notifications if your iPhone is being used. Also keep in mind the settings All Calls From can be set to certain contacts like Favorites, Everyone or no one. If you are using Do Not Disturb and you do not need it, then turn it off. 
    Use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
