Touch screen doesnt work at all, Please Help

I have a HP Pavilion touch smart 20 all in one PC.  I have had my computer for a few months and everything was working.  I really never used the touchscreen but I tried it out and it worked fine.  Just recently I tried using the touchscreen and it doesn't work at all no response to touch.  My wireless mouse and keypad work fine still.  PLEASE HELP.  I am running 64 windows 8

To get your touchscreen to function normally, you can try out the following options:
(Note: Follow these options in the same order as they are given)
1. Clean the screen
Follow these steps:
a) Turn Off your computer
b) Take a soft, damp cloth and spray some good-quality glass cleaner on it.
(Important: Do not spray the glass cleaner directly onto your touchscreen)
c) Wipe the screen gently to remove smudges and dirt that may be present on your screen.
d) Once done, turn On your computer and see if the touch screen responds now. If it does not, follow the steps ahead.
2. Perform a complete shutdown (if you have not done this already)-
Follow these steps:
a) Press Windows +1 key
b) Click "Power", then press and hold Shift key and click "Shut Down"
c) Turn On the computer by pressing the power button
d) Check if the touch screen responds. If it does not, refer to the next section below.
3. Configure your touch display settings
Follow these steps:
a) In your Windows Start screen, type "Tablet PC Settings" (without quotes) to open Search.
b) From the results that appear, select "Tablet PC Settings"
c) On the display box that pops up, click on "Setup…"
d) Follow the on-screen instructions. By following this process, you are notifying your system to identify your screen as a touch screen.
e) Now tap your screen to see if it responds. If it doesn't, go to the next point below.
4. Perform a System Restore
A System Restore will enable you to roll-back recent changes in your system and take it back to a stage when it was working perfectly. To know how to restore your system, refer to the following HP Support link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03327545&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en
If this does not resolve your issue, go to the next step.
5. Perform a HP Recovery Manager
To use HP Recovery Manager on your computer, refer to the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03489643&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en#N206
6. If the issue still persists, you need to contact HP Support on the following link:

  • My iSync doesnt work at all, please help

    Ok, my iSync does not work anymore. Everytime i open it, it freezes up And have to force quited it all the time. Is there anyway to fix this problem? Thx.

    Hi coffeee,
    Perform a backup of your hard drive. Then do an Archive and Install. Then run Software Update, until there are none left. Make sure your firmware is up to date. Then Repair Permissions. This would be an easier task then trying to figure out what is wrong with iSync. Plus your system would be in top shape. Afterwards, when you know it's not needed, you can delete the Previous System folder.
    You first asked bouth this I think Friday. By now you could be using iSync. I find the process of Archive and Install to be an easy fix for any glitch, and much less stressful then troubleshooting.

  • My ipods touch screen doesnt work anymore i cant unlock my ipod

    my ipod was working fine for a while and then now all of a sudden the touch screen doesnt work at all. Ive restored it twice now and i cant unlock my ipod because the screen doesnt work..anything i can do to fix it or do i have to buy a new one?

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem you very likely have a hardwre problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can i back up my apple iphone 3g its telling me to unlock the screene but i cant the touch screen doesnt work

    i have a apple iphone 3g and my touch screen doesnt work i tried to back it up to my itunes but its telling me unlock it i need my contacts off it like asap help

    If the touch screen physically doesn't work, it's too late to back it up. You should have been syncing your contacts with something... a cloud service or contact manager on a PC. If you were not, then I'm afraid you're going to lose them.

  • Freezing, touch screen doesnt work, call buttons d...

    Hi, ever since i updated my phone with that necessary update that kept bugging me my phone has been freezing and the touch screen doesnt work. It usually works fine after a night of charging, but that's just annoying and i shouldnt be doing this if the phone costs so much and ive only had it for half a year. 

    dont know what phone you have but go software update program (back up) and reinstall the latest software again via pc is better
    it works for me in the past

  • My ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP, my ipod touch is not working at all pls HELP

    My iPod touch is not working at all,i did everything i could and still it doesnt work,i live in the philippines my idea of solving this problem is to send it back at Apple California we do have service centre here but i dont trust them,i dont know what to do,I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP

    Quite possibly.  It wouldn't hurt to try another one if at all possible. If you have to, borrow one from a friend.  It could also be due to debris in the docking port of your iPod.  Take a look on the inside of the port and make sure there is no lint or anything like that.  Also look for broken pins as they would definitely cause connection issues as well.

    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • My iPod will turn on, but will not work at all. (please help)

    ok i know about ipods, and this issue is not something that i have come across. when i plug in my ipod to my pc a screen shows on my ipod saying "do nto disconnect" i dont, i want until it is loaded. then the folder with a "!" pops up, and i read on www.apple.com that i am supposed to try the 5 w's, and i have tryed all 5 w's 3 times each. nothing works, nothing. when i click start and click all programs and go to ipod then i click ipod updater i cannot restore my ipod because a message pops up saying "The attached iPod model is not supported by this application." someone please help me.

    Download and install the newest software if you have not already done so. See my post above for the links. After you have done this, try putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring.

    PS- What do you mean when you say it will not allow you to right click on it? FYI- Sometimes when there's something going on with your iPod's hard drive, it takes a really long time for the computer to respond to commands for it. So, if you're right clicking and then getting an hourglass, please be patient. You'll get there eventually.

  • Touch screen doesnt work only while playing music.

    While playing music, the touch screen does not respond. I can only change songs by locking, then double tapping the home button. The touch screen works fine for all apps and home screen. I can't change albums, songs or anything. I have not dropped the Ipod or exsposed it to water. Have no insurance on it. Thank you in advance!

    Don't play songs! 
    If it has never been jailbroke, the following may help.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Z10 not working at all please help in solving this problem

    Z10 has been stuck in "Preparing Blackberry HUB" mode for hours despite several restarts and battery pulls. Five swipe solution to restarting HUB only results in screen flashing on and off. Frustrated. Any ideas appreciated. Phone calls too not working, cant receive email, text messages or launch applications although preview screen seems to be working.
    Have reviewed other threads for solution with no success. Would rather not use security wipe option.
    Please help in sloving this problem 

    I would start with a Security Wipe:
    To perform a Security Wipe please follow the instructions below. Be sure and use BB Link to make a full backup before proceeding with the wipe:
    http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB33591
    Once the wipe is complete you can restore your backup. Keep in mind that data in the backup may be the source of the original problem and restoring it may restore the problem, as well. To alleviate this I recommend not restoring the Settings portion of the backup.
    If that doesn't work then use an autoloader to reload the OS:

    2ng gen ipod touch, Apps NEVER work after sync.
    am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
    its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..

    Hi
    Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
    To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
    You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides more general troubleshooting tips for applications purchased from the App store.

  • Touch Screen Doesnt work

    The lower portion of my touch screen no longer responds to my touch. My phone is over a year old, im assuming out of warranty. Any Suggestions?

    When restoring my phone didn't work, I backed up my data and made an appointment at the Apple Store. I went prepared to argue my case as my phone was over a year old (I got it the first day it was out) and didn't do any thing to damage the phone. It just developed this dead spot. I was honest about how long I had the phone and expressed that this was a common problem that is all over the internet and from what I could tell, I wasn't the only one in there for this problem. I was tipped off by a question he asked, "What row went dead?" He obviously had seen this enough times to know that different rows in the home screed went bad. I told him the second row. The conversation went on and somewhere there was some back room talks and they replaced my phone, which was very nice, but I'm betting this doesn't happen all the time. I think I got lucky. Over all I give Apple a 10 out of 10 for Customer Support. I doubt I would be so generous if I had to buy a new phone. I was told at first that it was going to cost me $249.00 to repair the phone, maybe he said $199. At any rate, I would have bought a new G3 instead of getting this one repaired. I tried to get the Apple Care on the replacement phone but they wouldn't allow that. So I have a 90 day warranty right now. I highly recommend that you get Apple Care on the iPhone. I'll be getting it on my next one. I don't know if this phone is new or a refurbished phone. It looks new, but I'm guessing it's refurbished. All in all I'm hoping that Apple realizes this is a problem with the screen and it's a problem that they need to fix or continue to fix when they go bad for no good reason. Well that's been my experience hope yours turns out as well.
