Touch Screen intermittently working (IdeaPad S510p touch)

I have the IdeaPad S510p touch, which seems to have a similar problem as other Lenovo models where the touch screen seems to stop working intermittently.  It seems to stop working after a while or after it has been sleeping.  It starts working again randomly.  I tried downloading a driver for a different model, but it didn't load or allow me to open it.  I just got this computer a few days ago.  I'm not sure if it is better just to take it back to the store, but I am concerned that this problem will exist even if I exchange it for a new one...

Hi john,
Sorry, I wish I had a better answer for you... we ended up just taking the computer back to the store and trading it in for a new one.  We found when our touch screen stopped working, it seemed to be right after it slept... as opposed to starting it up after a complete power off.  However, it was not consistent.  We ended up trading in this model twice - now on our third one and it is not perfect (because the mouse clicks and moves when you are typing on the keyboard), but it generally functions so we kept it.  When I first had this issue, the other problem was that we bought it from OfficeDepot and this model didn't seem to be available anywhere else and so there was very little information out there on how to fix problems.
Again, sorry.  wish i could be more helpful with an actual solution...
thanks, J

  • U430 Touch Screen not working on Ideapad

    I just bought a new IdeaPad U430 laptop a few days ago and I love it. However, the touch screen doesnt work. I've looked through the forums and have tried a lot of things and none of it has helped so far. Using the f6 key on the laptop freezes the mouse but the touch screen doesnt seem to recognize my finger. Please help! Like I said, I love everything else about this laptop and I really dont want to return it.

    hi graceella,
    Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
    Ideally, the OS automatically identifies if you have unit with a Touchscreen or not. To check, look under Control Panel (large icon view) > System (see images below).
    Non-Touchscreen:
    - Link to picture
    - Link to picture
    Touchscreen:
    - Link to picture
    If the machine is showing No Pen and Touch Input:
    1. The OS is not identifying the screen as Touch capable. To isolate, perform a System Recovery (via the OneKey Recovery button) to check if the issue is on the OS level (ensure you backup important files first).
    If the machine is showing Limited Touch Support:
    1. Recalibrate or Reset the touchscreen
    2. Reconfigure the Touchscreen
    If same problem,
    3.  Press the Windows key‌ +R, type devmgmt.msc and press Enter.
    4. On the device manager, navigate to Human Interface Devices and uninstall anything that says HID-compliant device. When finished, reboot the system and observe.
    5. After the reboot, press Windows key‌ +R, type mspaint and press Enter. On mspaint, try to touch the screen and observe if the touchscreen capability is working.
     - Link to picture
    If the above steps doesn't resolve the issue, I recommend you contact Lenovo and report the problem (or the place of purchase if it's still possible to exchange the unit).
    Regards

  • Ideapad S510p touch parts

    Couple months ago I purchased my new laptop, so far it's worked great, just getting use to Windows 8 is a bit tough. I frequently take my laptop to locations that have no power outlets available and so have to rely on the battery, typically I'm working with Video and audio files which put a big drain on the battery. I thought no biggie, I'll go buy a second battery from Batteries Plus, a local battery store, problem is they can't find any information on this laptop or the battery, so I went on the Lenovo website and I also can't find the information on my laptop which is the i3 series Ideapad S510p Touch with the 500gb hdd 6gb ram, Does Lenovo use different numbers for this system? I purchased the laptop from Office Depot and haven't checked with them yet regarding parts specific to this laptop because I think the company that makes this thing should have information about it. Not too encouraging to see the number of support complaints regarding Lenovo computers, but mine is working as expected so far, just need a second or larger battery and then I'll upgrade the memory and be good.
    Any one got a link to help? Thanks

    hi eric99,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    This what we have tried and worked so far .

    also open Task manager and click on the Services Tab if you have the (YMC) Yoga motion control services try disabling that save and restart your yoga.

  • Why did my brand new Ipod 5g 32gb touch screen stop working?

    So I got this ipod from the Genius Shop for about a month. A few days ago when IOS 7.1 came out, I updated it. However, the ipod seems to lag a little. Today, I was charging my ipod and for some reason, when I turn it on, the touch screen stop working (the ipod is in perfect condition). The home button, volume button and the on/off button all works fine except for the touch screen. I want to restore everything on my computer, but I can't get pass the lock screen (the touch screen seems to stop working). I just can't do anything on this ipod anymore beside turning it on and off. I can't even power it off because the touch screen is no longer touchable. So how can I restore everything, or do something about this ipod to work again. Can I still take this back to the Genius Shop and get another one without additonal charge?  

    If the reset does not work try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HELP: iPhone 6 Keyboard/Touch Screen Not Working

    Hello.
    I recently acquired to an iPhone 6, which has been working properly for the last two weeks. Today, my keyboard/touch screen stopped working properly. When I am typing in iMessage, or trying to compose an email, enter a URL, or anything else that requires my touch keyboard, my "123" button that switches to numbers, punctuation, and special characters does not open. I updated my software to iOS 8.3., which switched to a new and "improved" emoji keyboard, but I did this after my keyboard had already become unresponsive. If I click on the emjoi keyboard icon to switch over, the "ABC" button to swtich back to QWERTY is unresponsive. This is REALLY frustrating! The phone is two weeks old, and I cannot use to for a huge chunk of functionality.
    It's not a dead spot on the touch screen. When I am not trying to access the keyboard, that little bottom left corner works fine to open/use my Phone app.
    I really don't want to reset my phone. Any other ideas?
    I made a Genius Bar appointment for next Wednesday 4/15, but that seems like an eternity from now.
    Please help!

    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the Touch Screen . If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Find an Apple Authorized Service Provider

  • My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

    I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it. Today, May 4th, I go to school with a perfectly working iPod. On my way home, kept safe in my pocket all day, the touch screen stopped working, and restarting it didn't fix it. It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

    yes i have the same problem. But also other then the fact that the touch screen doesnt register it is really dark, like there is no light bulb

  • Why did my touch screen stop working?

    Very upset my touch screen stopped working on phone new years eve.  What could be wrong??

        flakris,
    Oh no! This is not what we like to hear. I want to make sure that we are able to get your phone back up and running. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage to the device? Can you try to press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until the device powers off then release (approximately 10 seconds). Please keep us posted.

  • Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

    Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
    * Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
    * Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
    * Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
    * In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
    * Two-button shutdown and restart
    * Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
    * Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
    As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
    Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
    I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting.  So far i am on my 8th reboot.  In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work.  This time... who knows.
    Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
    Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
    Thanks for posting this issue.  More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

  • LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly

    Hello, I'm having an issue with a LaserJet Pr0 200 color MFP M276nw Touch Screen not Working correctly. I have followed the instructions to reset the printer, but now am unable to select 'English' as my language because every time I select the 'English' option 'Spanish' is selected. I am then given two options to select 'Si' or 'No' both of which can not be selected on the touch screen?
    Anybody know of a way round this?

    Hi @dnhowes ,
    I see that you are having issues with the touch screen not working correctly. I will do my best to help you.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Was it the Nvram reset back to factory settings that you tried or a hard reset?
    Try selecting the option on the display a little higher above the icon to see if that helps. Some touch screens are finicky.
    I find that on the Lab printers when I am selecting different menus.
    If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further assistance. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • 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.
