Touch Screen not working when plugged in via usb to laptop

I am hoping someone can help me figure out what to do because I have run out of ideas... When I plug the phone into my laptop via the USB cable provided with the phone (2006 Dell 1710 Inspiron, Windows Vista) the touch screen does not work. The phone is functioning but I just can't use the touch screen to do anything, more specifically, I want to connect as a mass storage device so I can transfer files, music, pictures, etc.
I have downloaded the drives, installed and reinstalled the drivers, soft rest, used all 5 USB ports on the laptop and made sure the ports were up to date for drivers and software on the laptop. Still the screen won't work when plugged in.
My next step was to try it on a different computer so I used an HP desktop running Windows 7. Downloaded the drivers when prompted and low and behold the screen worked just fine when plugged in. It also works when plugged into my computer at work.
Considering the phone works fine on another computer I am guessing it might be the USB ports on my laptop or the software associated with it.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I would definitely agree with you, Funkytown.  If we know the phone works properly with two other computers and you've run through all the troubleshooting (awesome job!), then we can determine there is something with the computer that is causing the issue.
Thank you!

  • Ipad air 2 touch id not working when plugged in

    A very strange problem tonight.
    After work, I grabbed my iPad Air 2 which was plugged in to the Apple Charger next to my chair.  Touched the home button to open it - nothing happened.  Tried again.  Nothing happened.  Entered the code and the IPad Air opened.
    After dinner, same thing.  Touch ID did not work with any of 3 fingers.  With the code - it opened.  So, I decided to delete and redo the finger scans.  Turned off - no change - Touch ID not working.
    To get a better grip, I unplugged the Apple charger.  Viola!  Touch ID worked.  Plugged it back in.  Touch ID stops working.
    Powder off, power on.  Touch ID works unplugged but not plugged in.  I have done the Reset All Settings.  No change.
    At a loss.  This is not a 3rd party charger - it is the Apple one that came with the iPad Air.  Anyone got any ideas?
    Tim

    Make sure the usb wall adapter is from Apple too.
    if your using a generic wall adapter and original Apple lightning cable,
    the touch ID won't work.
    IF you use both apple wall adapter and lightning cable
    the touch id should work.
    hopes this helps

  • Camera not working when plugged into certain USB ports

    I just purchased a Creative Live! Cam for use on my dual G5 running 10.5. When I plug the camera into the USB port on the front of the Mac, it works fine with iChat.
    However, when I plug it into the back of the monitor (older style Cinema display), it says it is in use by another application.
    Any idea how to resolve this? The cable isn't terribly long and the machine is several feet away from the monitor, so I'd like to use the ones on the monitor. (Obviously it gives a power-error message when plugged into the keyboard, which is normal).
    Thanks

    Seems like it is a USB 2.0 or not problem

  • Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?

    Device not showing in iTunes for 'Wi-Fi Sync' and 'Sync Now' on phone only works(appears dark) when plugged in via USB so kinda defeats object. Any ideas please?

    Had the same issue. Tried everything that was posted for troubleshooting bye apple and on the discussions.
    Finally, tried something that solved it and it works flawlessly now. I changed my wireless router.
    I was using my ISP's supplied ZyXEL PN660 ADLS2+ with Wireless N. Swtiched to an older Linksys WRT160N and it is working beautifully now.
    Take a look at your router, make sure the firmware is up to date, and that UPnP is enabled, and if all is correct, and you have done everything else, try another Wireless router if you can.

It is contarct with VirginThanks in advance

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    I'm sorry to hear. If the touch does not work, it's not much that you can do on your own more than performing a software repair to exclude software related problems. This can be done via our program Update service:
    http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/tools/update-service/
    Download and install SUS, follow the instructions that appear.
    Note that the personal data will be lost when performing this repair and if you cannot access the menu, you are unable to back up this data.
    If the problem persist, I suggest that you contact your local support team to get information about how you should proceed in this case:

  • 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.

  • Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacemen​t

    After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
    But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways. 
    I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
    When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

    Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.

  • 8500 All in One - touch screen not working

    One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond.  Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless.   With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded. 
    Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works.  Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error?  Thanks for any help ...
    Linda T

    Excellent.  Let me know how round 2 treats you.  The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now?  I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

  • Torch 9800 touch screen only works when slid open.

    Hello everyone, this is my 1st post but I've been lurking the forum for some time. I'm running a Torch 9800 on AT&T right now on v6.0.0.600
    This is what's happened with my phone: as the subject notes, my touch screen only seems to work when I slide open the phone.
    What I've tried so far that doesn't work: rolling back software, rolling the software forward again, hard resets, soft resets, adjusting intervals for the touch screen.
    The weird part is that I saw an older thread that had the exact opposite problem(touch screen only worked when the phone was slid closed). I have a level/ruler app for my phone and it's showing that the phone knows when it's tilted/angle/orientation. I've also closed the phone, opened it slightly (about the width of my thumb) and it stays horizontally oriented + I'm able to use the touch keyboard that way.
    Anybody have a suggestion as to what I can try next to fix this? I haven't gone so far as to just go and get a 9810 yet, but i'm considering it.

    Thanks for the post.
    Has it in anyway fallen or pressed hard at any point? It could be the belt, which would just need you to go with it to a certified repair center and get it secured.

  • Sony Vaio Pro 13.3 Touch: Touch screen not working

    Hi, The touch screen for my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch suddenly stopped working two days ago and I have no idea how to fix it. I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, and I tried to install all the new drivers on the VAIO update but it still didn't work. I thought it might be because of Windows so I updated to Windows 8.1 today and it still does not work. On the PC info it even says" Pen abd touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display". but this laptop is supposed to have touch capability and it has been working up until now. Please help! My model number is SVP13215CDB. Do I need to install or update my driver?

    Hi FlyingTortoise,
    Was there any changes prior to touch screen not working?  Like installing software or hardware?  If not, then try using windows system restore to restore back to a date that you know when it was working.  If that still does not resolve issue.  Then we may have to put the unit back to factory condition to eliminate software related before servicing the unit for hardware.

  • My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio.  When I take it out, it goes blank.  Why can I do?

    My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio.  When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank.  The battery shows fully charged.  It appears that the battery is no longer charging.  What should I do?

    Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

  • HEADPHONES do not work when plugged in - iMac Intel

    So I reinstalled the operating system a few months back. After completing this my headphones do not work when plugged in. I do have them plugged into the correct jack. When i plug them in the built-in speakers go silent for a second or two as if the headphones are working but then the speakers kick back in with no sound in the headphones.
    The headphones worked just prior to reinstall so I'm not sure its the jack itself but something in the operating system.
    I have also checked in System Preferences 'Sound' and when they are plugged in, they do not show in the devices window.
    What the heck is going on? I've read in other forums that this seems to be something of a typical problem but have not found a solution to the problem.
    thanks in advance for your help.

    Welcome to the discussions.
    Mate, it sounds more like a system glitch than a hardware issue. I too have been experiences some 'funky' issues. However, they have all been fixed by running Onyx disc maintenance software. Install Onyx and run 'automation'. You can cancel the disc checking operations on start up and ignore the back up disclaimer. Give it a go and post back with the results.
