If the computer touch screen is not responding when tapped, or if the mouse pointer moves to the wrong place on the screen, follow the steps in this document to fix the touch screen performance.

Before you proceed: Verify that the computer has a touch screen

If your notebook screen has never responded to touch input, but you think it should, use the methods and steps in this section to determine whether the screen is equipped with touch.

  • In Windows, search for and open View pen and touch info. If the Pen and touch section reads No pen or touch input is available for this display, the computer does not have a touch screen.

Touch screen responds inaccurately

If you suspect that the touch screen is not functioning properly, go to the Windows desktop and move your finger across the screen.

If the mouse pointer moves more than half an inch (1.3 centimeters) away from the tip of your finger, start by cleaning the screen. To do so, with the computer off, moisten a soft, damp cloth with water and gently wipe the screen to remove dirt and smudges.
