Touch Screen Suddenly stopped working

Good Afternoon, The touch screen on my HP Envy Touchsmart Notebook PC  suddenly stopped working. I do not have the Tablet PC setting option available either now. All of my HID devices show as working properly. I have had Windows 8.1 for some time when this occurred, so it is not due to a recent upgrade. Additionally I am up to date with all of my installs. Please advise as this was one of the primary reasons for purchasing this laptop.Thank you   

Hi  ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP TouchSmart 17 Notebook with issues of the TouchScreen now working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the Touchscreen. The touchscreen shouldn't need recalibration, but if you or another user has recalibrated it, it may affect the performance of the touchscreen.Here's how to check or restore the factory default calibration using a keyboard or mouse:Press the Windows logo key Type Control Panel, then use the arrow keys to highlight Control Panel, and press Enter.
In Control Panel, use the arrow keys to highlight Hardware and Sound and press Enter.
Under Tablet PC Settings use the arrow keys to highlight Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input, and press Enter.
Use the Tab key to select the Reset button, and press Enter.
If the Reset button is grayed out, your Notebook touch calibration is still at factory settings and nothing further required. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

  • TS3274 why would touch screen just stop working?

    The touch screen just stopped working, it is charged, can not turn off, can't do anything with screen.  Has anyone else had this problem and any suggestions
    as to how to fix.  Thanks in advance

    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.  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.

  • My Screen suddenly stopped working

    My screen suddenly stopped working but it still receives calls. It won't let me answer them nor reject them. My phone was working just fine 10 mins ago. It also won't turn off. Can anyone help me please.

    Have you tried a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the Home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so?

  • Just got an iPad mini and now the screen suddenly stopped working. What to do?

    Got my iPad mini as a gift last week and last night the screen suddenly stopped responding [while in use]... until now. Read and tried the troubleshooting tips here and other sources (resetting, cleaning the screen, restoring from back up, etc) but nothing seemed to work. It's currently running on iOS 6.1.3 syncs with iTunes and doesn't seem to have any problem as viewed on iTunes, wasn't dropped, abused or anything. Using warranty and having it replaced will be my last resort since I'm kinda embarrassed telling the person who gave it to me that it's broken or damaged.
    Please do help. Huge thanks!

  • Touch ID suddenly stops working.

    I just got my iPhone 6 over a week ago and this is my first time having an iPhone with the Touch ID. Everything was working fine until today. The Touch ID decides to work then suddenly stops working then back and forth. When it doesn't get my finger print it says "try again" but it's not even trying to scan it. I've read a few posts about how your hands have to be clean, dry and to clean the home button with rubbing alcohol, etc. I've read and done it. I've also restarted my phone a few times in hopes it will fully start working again but no luck. I'll admit that I had my phone laying on a counter while I was taking a shower today and it got humid. But, I've done that in the past with other phones and they're perfectly fine. Do I have to be in a perfect temperature for the Touch ID sensor to work correctly forever or what??? I can still go back and change my phone but if this is a common problem then I rather just keep this phone.

    I have figured out the wall connection somehow messed with Touch ID. I noticed when it would only work while it wasn't charging. I changed the charger and it's working perfectly!! Leaving this post just in case someone has the same problem I had.

  • Multi-touch gestures suddenly stop working

    Hi! I'm having problems with multi-touch gestures in browsers such as Safari, Chrome. Suddenly, 'double tap zoom' stops working during browsers use. Also, when I pinch to zoom, pinch to unzoom stops working. I'm using a MBPR 15" mid 2012, OS X Mavericks. These problems stalk me since Mountain Lion. Only reboot helps, but it doesn't solve the problem.

    Try resetting the PRAM.

  • IPod Touch 16GB 1st Generation - touch screen area stopped working

    Hello there, the last 2 days I'm experiencing a problem with my 16GB 1st Generation iPod Touch. One cm under the top of the touch screen and for about 10mm height, the screen is not functioning. I noticed this when I was on the AppStore and tried to buy an app. Exactly at the "Buy" button and on full width the multitouch screen doesn't work at all (touch/scroll/zoom etc.). I use OS 3.0 and I've installed it from my PC with the latest iTunes. I use the latest OS since it's release day and only yesterday the problem appeared.
    The iPod is protected with silicon case since day 1, also has a screen protector and it's never dropped, scratched or anything that could cause this problem. I believe the problem/bug/dysfunction it's software related, even tho, I've restored the iPod erasing all it's data to the factory settings with the last OS, the problem remains.
    Do you suggest me to downgrade back in version 2.0 and see what happens? Do I have to to downgrade to version 1.0? Please advise cause here in Greece the service doesn't exist as in the rest European countries and as in the rest of the world who has official Applestores.
    I use both Mac and PC with my iPod Touch, so you can suggest solutions for both platforms. (Leopard/Vista)
    I'm waiting for a response as soon as possible, thanks in advance and please advise me as an experienced user
    The iPod Touch is bought from US and brought here in Greece on January 2008. It's the iPod with the January Update in case you're wondering.
    Thanks for your time,
    Vangelis Makridakis.

    Seems that the problem isn't software related.
    I've downgraded to 2.2.1 from 3.0 and nothing happen.
    I can't buy apps from AppStore, I can't join a WiFi network and much more...
    Apple made *faulty digitizers* (touch screens) cause as I've searched on the internet, many others have the same problem. Since it's out of warranty, Apple is covered... BUT customers should know that even if they don't drop their device or if they protect them, no matter what, one day they won't be able to touch some random areas of their screens.
    As a customer _I demand answer_ and also a replacement program for faulty digitizers since will be confirmed that the customer never dropped or scratched the faulty device.
    Also, since in Greece (where I live) we don't have Apple official representation as the rest of the European countries, I probably will have to pay A LOT to Rainbow S.A for a digitizer replacement and also to wait about a MONTH to get my device back.
    Thank you Apple for making perfect products with the chance becoming lemons instead of apples.
    Vangelis.

  • My Zen Touch has suddenly stopped worki

    Hello, newbie alert in progress!
    My 20Gb Zen Touch was working fine this morning till I tried reinstalling the drivers that I got from http://www.jumpingcholla.com/jce_nomad_ZEN.htm (I had to do it this way after I lost my original CD ) after I had to reinstall the system recently. I plugged the device back in afterwards but XP seemed to be unsuccessful in detecting it properly.
    And now it seems that the thing simply won't turn on, even when disconnected from the computer and with the lock disabled! The light on the power switch remains lit, but holding it down does nothing and I'm not getting anything on the screen. It's as if I'm being permanently locked out of my own player for some reason or other! (And yes, it's fully charged, I charged it up only last night!)
    If you need me to post my serial number on here, let me know. But I'm using Windows XP SP2, AMD Athlon XP 2000+, 52Mb RAM, Creative Zen Touch 20Gb, still using the original firmware that came with my unit (seeing as I found no real problems with the device so far), and I tried upgrading the drivers to .30.03 but that didn't make much of a difference.
    While I'm here, do you know if there's any way I can apply for a replacement copy of the install CD seeing as it appears to have disappeared with little chance of finding it again?
    Thank you!

    Well, resetting the device worked in the end! Whew, thanks for allowing me to not worry lots anymore!
    Thing about the install CD though...... I assumed the downloadable .30.03 drivers alone would be all you need post-reinstall, but they didn't seem to help detect the device afterwards, therefore I think they're upgrade-only ones.
    Unless of course I'm not looking hard enough and base drivers are available too from this site? Is it like in one of the software packages or something?

  • My touch screen has stopped working. what can i do to fix this

    what can I do to fix my touchscreen

    Rebooting your iDevice
    Hold down the Sleep (On-Off) and Home buttons together for about 10-15 seconds or until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears - then let go of the buttons. The device should begin to start up.
    If this doesn't work then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

  • Touchscreen suddenly stopped working

    Hi all,
    After about an hour of working this morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped functioning. I have tried using it with and without an external mouse plugged in, but nothing seems to work. Initially I was able to see the Touch menu under the Control Panel, but after restarting it has disappeared.
    I searched for calibration options and after selecting "View Pen and Touch Info" it reads "No pen or touch info is available for this display". I've had this computer for a few months now and this is the first issue I've had with the touch screen. I haven't installed any updates overnight that would have disrupted anything.
    Is there a driver or anything I can download to fix this?

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

  • The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
