Thinkpad Yoga - touch screen on left half of the screen unresponsive

Hi guys!
On my new TPY the touch screen on the left hand side (the side where the charger is connected) is unresponsive. The pen however works perfectly fine. I have already run the lenovo software update tool and updated/installed all the drivers so I wonder what might be the culprit here...?
Best,
Chris

if the left hand screen touch is unresponsive, then it is a hardware problem. You would need to send in for service.

Pavilion 23xi left half of the screen seems stripy and darker

when using the computer left half of the screen suddenly flashed green and got darker, seems like it's stripy, like covered with a thin black net. i tried updating graphics drivers, restarting computer, changing monitors settings like refresh rate and stuff nothing helped.
thanks in advance!

Hello kasparas,
I have seen and read your post about your monitor showing a green color along the left side with stripes. I understand you have already tried updating your graphics driver and restarting your computer and checking your monitor settings.
I have researched this issue for you and I have found a few troubleshooting documents, that I hope can point you in the right direction to get this resolved.
I will post the link below for you. I am posting the main troubleshooting link for all different types of monitor display issues as your description could be in a few of these guides.

Slideshow settings made impossible by a big black rectangle covering the upper-left half of the screen/photo,

Slideshow settings made impossible by big black rectangle covering the upper-left half of the screen/photo, appearing when I move the cursor. Disappears when I start the slideshow. Restart does not help.

Thanks,
- First: Linc Davis' question seems to be relevant: Indeed, when I disconnect my second display, the problem disappears. However, reconnecting the display makes the problem reappear again.
- I use iPhoto 9.5.1. and Mac OS 9.5.2. The machine is a MacPro first part of 2008 (not a MacBook Pro as I inadvertantly said in my original question). Processor 2X2,8 GHz Quad-core intel Xeon. Memory 6 GB, with new (2yrs old) 2 TB SATA-disk (WDC WD2002FYPS-02w380 Media) as hard disk.
- Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing - with only part of the settings display (in Norwegian) visible.
- I have looked for a solution in the iPhoto settings, turned the program off& on, and restarted the computer, all without success.
- The library is, as I understand it, located in users/[me]/pictures/iPhoto Library.
- No, as I remember I did not apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem. I have regularly updated the programs, as they come, without checking the results on each program.
- I run a managed library
- Apparently there is 1,29 TB free space (out of 2 TB) on my boot drive [=central hard drive, see above?].

My ipod nano has horizaontal lines through the bottom portion of the screen and the left half of the screen is black, the right half of the screen changes from red, to blue to orange, etc. Any idea how to fix that?

White stripes suddenlt appeared at the bottom of the screen on my ipod nano a few weeks ago. I figured it was just from use and that it is an older model- I could still see through them and use the device. Yesterday, only the left half of the screen was visible, the other side was black. This morning, the stripes are still there, all the way across the screen on the bottom, the left side os black and the right sise is red most of the time. Any ideas on what happened and how to fix it?

Hello scgreco,
I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano screen had stripes and was partially black. I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant for your iPod nano model:

HP 8620 Touch Screen Unresponsive - Firmware Software Bug?

Hello, I have the latest "firmware update" on the HP 8620. Can someone please confirm this bug? I don't know if it is just for the HP 8620 or if it applies to all HP touchscreens. Basically if you go into any setting option, then hit the "home" icon and right after you swipe either left or right, it ends up rendering your touch screen unresponsive to swiping left or right. Is this bug already a known issue? The only way to correct the touchscreen so it is responsive again is hit the question mark, or an icon on the bottom and hit the home button (without swiping left/right right after the home button).

Hi , Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see that you're experiencing issues with your touchscreen on your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer. I will certainly do my best to help you. Please confirm you have the latest Firmware Version: FDP1CN1502AR. If you do not, please go to HP's download page by clicking here. As far as I know, this is not a known issue with the printer or with the printer's Firmware Update. This could be a glitch in the touchscreen, which a Reset should resolve. Let's start by performing a Hard Reset.Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power bar or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.If you're still experiencing issues, we may need to perform a Semi-Full Reset. I can send you that information in a private message. In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good Luck!

IPad 4 touch screen unresponsive

Touch screen unresponsive, cannot unlock device. Replaced touch screen, now I get nothing from LCD display. Triple checked ribbon connectors. Where should I begin looking for solutions: battery, logic board, LCD display? Tries to connect to iTunes, but without display working, I cannot enter passcode.

I'm sorry, but if you took your own device apart there's nothing anyone here can do to help you. Your issues are a level of technical support that's beyond what's covered here.
Maybe an unofficial forum would serve your needs better.

THINKPAD YOGA TOP SCREEN CORNER YELLOWING

Hello,
I have seen thinkpad yogas that are coming up to 1 year old have identical screen yellow / orange blotches in the corner top of the screens.
Seeing as these machines have *just* left warranty what is going on?

Good day.
If it were my machine, I wouldn't wait. I'd call Service immediately.

Thinkpad yoga ultrabook screen flickers

I just got a thinkpad yoga and I have noticed since I started using it that the screen randomly flickers. I can't narrow it down to a time where I'm doing a specific task. Any help in tracking down the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Solved!

Thanks thinkpadfreak....Turning off the "Panel self-refresh" option seemed to do the trick.

Eden Skin only uses left half of the screen

Has anyone tried the Eden skip from OTN? The top menu line looks fine. The second like with Home Catalog Favorites ... looks fine. The lower portion only displays in the left one-half of the screen. Report Design, Display and Dashboards only use the left half. Anyone know which css file and what elements to change to make it like the default skin? I am using it with 11.1.1.7.1

This has happened to mine too, I wish I was notified about a screen replacement program, I did register my iMac too.. I was quotes $900 + labour to replace the 27 inch screen, and my iMac is less than 3 years old. I'm not happy about this, I am going to take it to the Apple Store and see what they can do for me.

Thinkpad S540 touch screen

Last week I bought a S540 and I have been having a hard time with its touch screen since then.
It is inflicted with the "ghost hand"/"ghost in the machine syndrome" - as if someones invisible hand runs over the touchscreen time and time again. I recalibrate and reboot, but it helps only for a while.
I have updated win and drivers but the problem presist.
I manually disabled the driver for touch interface, just so I could use the computer. But I bought it because of its touchscreen otherwise I would have chosen a T series.
Assistance of anykind is greatly appriciated.

My windows version is windows 8 (not pro).
I am pretty sure (although not 100%) that the problem was not there when I first used the laptop.
Things I installed yesterday (maybe it can help for you):
- all updates from the Lenovo Solution Center
- all windows updates
- Google Chrome
- Microsoft Office 2013
- Virusscanner: AVG Free
- Google Music Manager
The best way to see if the ghost touches are there, is when I try to calibrate my touch screen. I NEVER succeeded in going through the whole callibration process without the ghost touches (which ruin the callibration by the way)
I will try to remove all installed programs and updates and see if it works. If this does not work, I will try to restore my system to the initial restore point.

Left side of touch screen unresponsive...

I bought the 16 GB iPhone 3GS on release day (June 19). It's worked just fine until about an hour ago. All of a sudden the very left side of the screen is unresponsive (that is, 'q' won't work, the '-' symbol or '[' symbol won't work, etc). If I flip the phone on its left side and try to use Safari, the back button, bookmarks button, etc won't work.
I haven't dropped the phone. It's been in a gel case since jump street. I've taken perfect care of the thing. What gives?
I tried resetting it, restoring it, and nothing worked. Is it time to call customer service?

Still having this problem. My Genius Bar appt is set for tomorrow, but for now the left side of the screen is working normally. Do I need to wait for it to crap out on me again (as it has at least 3 times for weeks now) to take it back or will the Apple folks at the store take me at my word that it dies for several weeks and then randomly works properly for maybe a day or two?

Touch Screen unresponsive after iOS 8 update

My 1 year old 64GB iPhone 5 touch screen started to become unresponsive after iOS 8 update
It's not consistent. Touch screen functionality will seize whilst phone is being used for either answering calls, typing messges, surfing, gaming etc and won't become responsive until it is turned off and on again (via power button). Home button is functioning with no problems.
As the phone is now out of its warranty period I want to verify if it's the OS that's causing this or do I actually have a hardware issue.

I have the same issue. iPhone 5, 1 year-old, not even a scratch.
Sometimes my touch screen works, sometimes not. When it works, it is just for some seconds, then some phantom touches start to happen all over the screen, but specially, when i'm typing, it types z or m, when I try to type something in, and it receives it, it will act as z or m again....
If I switch off my screen and switch on again... sometimes it will work, sometimes it wont... veeery unstable.
I considered downgrading to 7.1.2 but since I heard it is ilegal I decided to wait for a new iOS release.... any suggestions? (already wiped it and the issue continued...)
Is it really not recommended to downgrade it and have my phone funcionalities back?

Touch screen unresponsive while charging

The touch screen on my iPod touch 5 can be sluggish or unresponsive. I've isolated the problem to when I've got it plugged in to charge and the charge is complete but I've not unplugged it. I'm using apple charge cord. Has anyone else had this problem? Obviously when the problem occurs now, I unplugged the iPod. Just wondering if it points to some larger problem I need to have Apple look into.

Other users have reported the same problem and I made the following suggestions but they nevery posted back:
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Droid 3 touch screen unresponsive

I was wondering if there is an alternate way of removing an app other than using the android market. My droid 3's touch screen is unresponsive and I know that the app Go Locker is causing the problem.

PRS-T1 rapid page turns / touch screen unresponsive

I'm having problem with my new PRS-T1.
At least once a day, when using the touch screen swipe to turn pages, the pages will start turning very rapidly and does not stop. The only way to stop it is to go back to the home screen by using the button. From this point, the touch screen is unresponsive, but the hardware buttons work correctly.
After a few minutes, touch screen starts working again normally again.
If I use just the page turn buttons instead of swipe gesture to turn pages, this problem never happens. Using swipe it happens often, but not easily reproducible so not sure what is causing it.

Thank you for your post and welcome to the forum.
If the Reader is consistently unresponsive or oversensitive with a variety of books and you have reset the Reader to no effect it may need service. Give Sony product support a call and they can arrange this for you:
