TouchSmart screen problem

My 2 year 1/2 old Touchsmart 300 has developed a thin vertical lines and cut color - a bit like a thermal image - not as clear that the color was.  Someone said that maybe it's a problem of graphics cards and because there is no separate Tower, maybe it's not repairable.  I would appreciate any help with this problem because it has been a great computer otherwise.

Jstaff19, welcome to the forum.

Which of these models is yours?

Have you tried to update the video driver?  This can sometimes solve problems that you encounter.

  • TouchSmart IQ506 touch screen problem

    Our company has recently obtained a TouchSmart IQ506 with Windows Vista 64 bit and everything works fine. We did a cool, been reformatting in the network and ran all the updates and others. As you may, or may not, know, the IQ506 isn't a VGA port to install a second monitor or to connect to a projector, so that to use the TouchSmart mirroring an image to the projector, we bought 2.0 of StarTech USB to VGA Display Adapter. I installed the drivers and got work and mirroring the image properly, however, now I'm having a problem with the touch screen.

    The touch screen responds when I touch it, but that the pointer is emptied all the way to the right. Mouse follows my pen up and down with me, but it does not come to the left. It's as if the screen is only read the coordinates there where I touch, and coordinates x are blocked all the way to the right.

    The touchscreen was working perfectly fine until I installed the graphics card driver and software for the VGA display adapter to work. The keyboard and the mouse works fine, everything is perfect except for this touch screen problem. I'm 99% sure it's a software problem, and I wanted to know if there is a known issue, or if anyone else has had this kind of problem. I guess this is the software for the VGA graphics card and I was wondering if this is the case, what I can do for the TouchSmart can support a second screen bypassing screen touch, or any other, problems of alternatives.

    Sorry in advance if there is already a topic on this issue, I went thorugh the forums and can't find anything about it.

    RasterBlaster thanks for your comment.

    I wanted to try something before your steps and I seemed to have solved the problem.

    The problem is that the nvidia card driver was not cooperating with startech to the VGA graphic card driver. I uninstalled the nvidia card driver and all this work and am now able to see on both screens.

    I know I'm going to miss some qualities of video, but from now on, everything works and I think it's what is best. I will try to reinstall the graphics driver, but right now, the problem is resolved. Thank you.

  • Pavilion Touchsmart 23: Pavilion 23 Touchsmart screen dim after sleep Windows 10

    Pavilion Touchsmart 23 all-in-One model f339

    AMD Radeon HD D 8670

    My screen is too dark, after that the computer "wakes up" fashion "sleep" I can read only now my face one inch away. Reboot brings the brightness back to normal, only to happen again the next time that the computer sleeps. This has only started happening since the upgrade of Windows 8 to 10 of Windows.

    -All drivers are up-to-date

    -All Windows updates are up-to-date

    -There is no brightness slider in power options

    -I have no brightness control on my keyboard

    Please help me solve this problem, so I don't have to go back to Windows 8! Thank you in advance.

    I think I might have made some progress with this problem. I had a friend call me and he suffered from these same questions. The partial solution (and probably most) I've discovered is that there is a critical update of the BIOS that had not been done. Because Windows 10 was already installed, it didn't appear on the page to Support HP or HP update software. The way I had the time it was to say the HP website that I had Windows 8.1. The update then appeared. I downloaded the BIOS for its model was last updated and installed. (BTW: it worked great in Windows 10). Once I've upgraded, the dark screen problem has been resolved. However, as long as the screen saver, night light or auto Hibernate still does not work. You can manually put the computer to sleep via a button or the start menu, and he returned very well. His was an AMD based all-in-one and I don't remember not if someone had problems with the Intel based platforms.

    So, to summarize... If you have not installed 10 still make sure you BIOS update first. If you have goto, the Web site and enter your model. Replace the Windows 8.1 operating system. Download and install.

    If anyone has more of an insight, please answer others to take advantage. Good luck and enjoy Windows 10. And if anyone has a solution for the problem of sleep/sleep/screensaver please respond.

    b. type Troubleshooting in the search box, click on it in the search results.
    c. click 'show all' and then click 'Windows Update'.

  • IPhone screen problems 5

    I have an iphone 5 with screen problems.  When the phone turns first of all, I can't drag the screen to enter my security code.  The screen is blank.  It will take several times before it stand for a long time, just enter the code.  I also have problems with the original key.  I downloaded the virtual home key, and I'm sure now.  However, when the screen is blank, I use the key home, which does not always, to get it back again.  It's very frustrating.  I'm 1.8 GB for use available, my capacity is 12.5 GB so I don't think that's all. I use the cloud for storage of photos, etc.

    Hello. Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

    As a final step, try recovery mode. Turn off your unit, then plug it to your computer with the hold home button. Hold down Home button until you see the logo of iTunes on the screen of your device. After that on your computer, you should see the iTunes window saying that your device needs to be restored to factory settings. Click Restore.

    If these steps do not work, contact Apple and ask for help.

  • On the Satellite 1800-921 black screen problem

    Hello
    My satellite 1800-921 has started to give me a black screen after I turn it on. It loads well, go to the desktop and then the screen turns white and I can't make it respond. We can just distinguish the dialogs on the screen so I don't know if it is a screen problem or things I see on the screen are just ghosts...
    It's a bit worrying!
    Does anyone else have this problem? So far, it seems to happen when I turn it on. Usually, I have to turn it off and reboot to get it back and then it works very well.
    Thank you
    Nancy :)

    Hello

    to the old series, it may be that the FL inverter is broken or damaged the tupe of backlight. In both cases, you can see the screen but without backlight!

    To differi if it is a hard - or software error, you should start the laptop and ESC immediately to enter the BIOS. Then the machine must be running half an hour in the BIOS. When the rupture occurred it is quite sure that some hardware is broken. Otherwise, it is a software based and a restore with recovery CD Toshiba should solve the problem!

    Goodbye, TOK

  • Fixed with Windows 7 black screen problem?

    My HP Pavilion dv2000 is having the dreaded black screen problem.  I figured out how do boot mode safe and backed up all my files.  Now, I'm ready for this ongoing problem (hopefully).  My other laptop HP running Windows 7 never had the problem of black screen.  So, upgrade to W7 will fix this problem?

    You should not pass the operation when it does not work properly. You can make a difficult to solve the problem, unable to be resolved.

    Have you tried last known good configuration or safe mode?
