Yoga 13 touchscreen working intermittently

My Yoga 13 touchscreen will suddenly stop working and then start working again. It usually stops working for anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours. I've been unable to figure out what driver enables the touchscreen, so I don't know what version I'm running, but it is up to date according to Windows Update.
The two issues began at different times and don't seem to have any relation to each other, but I have also been having WLAN issues. Here's a link in case someone thinks they are connected:

Many thanks.

Have you tried a factory reset by pressing the One Key Recovery Button just left of the power button?
A factory reset will fix it! And takes only 15 minutes of your time. Maybe 30 minutes in case you have to make any back-ups.
I hope I helped you!

  • Yoga 2 Pro touch screen no longer working & intermittent USB issues

    Hey.
    Got the Yoga 2 Pro 2 weeks ago. The touchscreen does not work at all today. I've reset/shutdown many times.
    Here are the issues I have had in order of occurrence:
    - webcam intermittently not coming up during verifice login on resume from sleep (probably ~ 10 times)
    - touchscreen went mental, registering hundreds of touches per second all over the screen. Sleeping and waking stopped the mayhem. This happened JUST after plugging in a USB flash drive (which I have used before successfully).
    - touchscreen does not work at all. Last night I had my phone plugged in to the laptop for a couple of hours. Touchscreen worked fine I unplugged the phone, but this morning on wake it is not responding at all no matter how many reboots I do.
    The first two issues on their own I probably would have ignored, and this ccurrent issue I could imagine being some driver thing. But I worry that the two of them together imply some sort of big USB fault.
    I'm not sure what the touchscreen is meant to come up as in device manager, but I've inluded a screenshot below.
    Pretty desparate right now. I'm hoping this isn't a  hardware fault because I need this laptop for work =$
    Anyway, any advice/idas would be greatly appreciated.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As an update for anyone else experiencing this problem...
    I left the laptop charging, put it to sleep, and went away for an hour or so.
    I just came back and woke it from sleep. The battery is now at 92%. The touchscreen now works fine.
    Checking device manager, there are now additional devices listed under "Human Interface Devices". See attached screenshot.
    Although it is now working, this and the other issues have been super annoying and I'd like to know if anyone else has anything similar happen, or if there are any fixes.

  • Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a .chm file work intermittently.

    SUMMARY
    Hyperlinks to XLS, DOC, and PDF files that are included in a
    .chm file (and the Baggage Files) only work intermittently. The
    only solution appears to be deleting the Temporary Internet Files.
    PROBLEM
    1. I place the XLS, DOC, or PDF file in the Windows
    sub-directory that corresponds to the RoboHelp project sub-folder
    where the topic in which I’ll place the hyperlink exists.
    2. I open the help project in RoboHelp HTML.
    3. I right-click on the project’s Baggage Files
    sub-folder that corresponds to the Windows sub-directory in which I
    placed the XLS, DOC, or PDF file (in step 1).
    4. I import the XLS, DOC, or PDF file.
    5. I open the topic in which I’m going to place the
    hyperlink in the WYSIWYG editor.
    6. I “drag and drop” the Baggage File into the
    topic (in the WYSIWYG editor) to create a link to it.
    7. I save the changes and then generate HTML (.chm) help.
    8. I open the .chm file and click the hyperlink. The XLS,
    DOC, or PDF file may or may not open.
    9. When the hyperlink works correctly, for DOC and XLS files,
    a “File Download – Security Warning” dialog box
    appears asking, “Do you want to open or save this
    file?”. The buttons that are available are
    “Open”, “Save”, and “Cancel”.
    These buttons work then as one would expect. (When the hyperlink
    works correctly for a PDF file, it simply opens the PDF file in a
    new window; there’s no prompt to save, open, or cancel.)
    10. When a hyperlink does NOT work, for DOC, XLS, and PDF
    files, no dialog box or other visual message is displayed. Instead,
    the sound that is associated with the “Exclamation”
    program event is played (the “Windows XP
    Exclamation.wav” file is the WinXP default).
    Other Notes:
    - The hyperlinks ALWAYS work when I view a topic using the
    “View Selected Item” function (Ctrl+W) in the RoboHelp
    HTML project.
    - Once a hyperlink stops working, it will not start working
    again until I delete all the Temporary Internet Files.
    - A hyperlink will stop working even if Internet Explorer
    (iexplore.exe) is closed the entire time.
    WORKAROUND
    Through trial and error, I have discovered that if a
    hyperlink stops working, I can get it to work again using the
    following steps:
    1. Leave the .chm file open.
    2. Open Internet Explorer.
    3. Click Tools>Internet Options….
    4. From the “Internet Options” dialog box, select
    the “General” tab.
    5. Under the “Temporary Internet Files” section,
    click the “Delete Files…” button.
    6. From the “Delete Files” dialog box, select
    “Delete all offline content” and then click
    “OK”. The files are deleted and the “Delete
    Files” dialog box closes.
    7. Click “OK” to close the “Internet
    Options” dialog box.
    8. Without closing Internet Explorer and without re-starting
    the .chm file, all the hyperlinks that didn’t work before
    will now work.
    GENERAL SYSTEM INFORMATION

    - “Amount of disk space to use” is set to
    “594” MB
    “View Files…”
    - An XLS or DOC file will be listed here if I click its
    hyperlink and then click either “Open” or
    “Save” from the “File Download – Security
    Warning” dialog box.
    - A file will appear here even if I click “Save”
    and then click “Cancel” from the subsequent “Save
    As” dialog box.
    - If I click “Cancel” from the “File
    Download – Security Warning” dialog box, the file does
    not appear in the Temporary Internet Files folder.
    - When a file does appear in the Temporary Internet Files
    folder, its Internet Address is displayed similar to the following:
    “ms-its:C:\PrimaryProjectFolder\ProjectName.chm::/SubFolderName/FileName.xls”
    “View Objects…”

    - “WUWebControl Class” (Last Accessed 12/13/06)
    (Version 5,8,0,2469)
    Today is 12/18/06 so the only program file that is listed as
    having been “Last Accessed” today is the
    “Shockwave Flash Object”.
    REQUEST FOR HELP
    I really want to include certain PDF, DOC, and XLS files in
    their native format in a .chm file. However, I need a better
    solution to my problem than the one I discovered. What I really
    want is to avoid the entire problem altogether.
    Have anyone seen this before or have any suggestions?

    You wont be able to do that. The embedded objects would appear as images only.

  • USB Ports work Intermitta​ntly on Pavilion Notebook

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-2270us Entertainment Notebook PC that is running Windows 7. The USB ports seem to work intermittantly. There are two regular USB ports on the left hand side and one on the right. I have an iPhone, Adidas miCoach, and wireless mouse that I usually have plugged in, and lately nothing is recognized.
    Sometimes I get an error that the USB device is not recognized, sometimes I get nothing at all as though the ports aren't even there.
    I have tried taking out the battery, replacing and rebooting. I have also tried uninstalling the USB Root Hub, and then the Root Hub plus controllers. When I did this it seemed like it worked - I plugged my mouse in and it worked! I plugged my iPhone in and now nothing works again.
    I have Norton 360 Installed (in case that is an issue), and I also have some old Sony Ericksson software that I've recently uninstalled because someone told me that it wreaked havoc on their machine in terms of their device drivers.
    The laptop is just out of warranty (Dec 2010) so this is a relatively new machine. But I love all my gadgets and need to be able to use them all!

    Right Click on all devices which are recognized as unknown and Choose Uninstall one by one.
    Please ensure you also do this for any and every item under Universal serial bus controllers as well. After this restart your computer and you should be good to go.

  • I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture?

    I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

    The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

  • Sender HTTP Adapter working intermittently

    HI ,
    My scenarios is HTTP->XI.>ECC,
    Sender HTTP Adapter is working intermittently some times data is not reaching to XI though it sent successfully from Source.
    We are unable to find the logs in XI where this data went.
    This interface is working fine in PI 7.1 and now in migration to PI 7.3 ( have Two application server dispatcher model) this interface is working intermittently .
    Please provide any inputs on this intermittent issue for sender HTTP adapter.
    Data sent successfully from source side and no message is received to XI MONI. Please guide me where can I check for the logs and error details

    Hi Krishna,
    If your PI is dual stack and you are not using the http_aae you can trace the http in the ABAP stack. Go to smicm transaction and set the trace level to 2 or 3.
    In Quality system you can talk with your sender client in order to prepare a set of requests in oder to find out if the requests are reaching to PI or not and what exception could be.
    hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • I have a hp G62 that has an issue in that both shift keys work intermittently.

    The shift key all of a sudden started working intermittently. I uninstalled the keyboard driver then re-installed and it hasn't changed it. I also notice my notebook is shutting off more frequently due to heating up. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    umm get a cooler for the laptop ... tht would solve your heating up problem

    Iphone 4s touchscreen stops responding after a minute or so, I then have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen works again but soon after it stops responding. I have tried hard reset, turning it off over night, etc

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • After upgrading to snow leopard my charger works intermittently, could this be a software issue or just a coincidence

    After upgrading to snow leopard my charger works intermittently, could this be a software issue or just a coincidence

    Very likely this is a coincidence. Have you tried resetting your System Management Controller? That would be the best first step for any issue that has to do with power.
    Best of luck.

  • Touchscreen works differently upon restart

When I restart my computer sometimes the touchscreen works on the left side, sometimes the right side, sometimes it doesn't work on either, and sometimes it works on both.

    I tend to agree with Peter that it is a hardware issue. 
    To confirm, you could restore the computer to it's out-of-box state and if it is still behaving the same then it is almost certainly a hardware issue.  If not, then it is likely some software conflict or the like.
