laptop repair:
In this project I recieved an x360 hp laptop.
The customer explained that even though the laptop was cracked
it had worked fine and suddnly the touch screen didn't respond,
but they were still able to view the contents of the computer okay.
In addition to the lack of touch, the customer also stated that the computer
performed slow.
Identify the Problem
To tackle one problem at a time I started with the lack of touch input.
I wanted to rule out the simplist theories first, by doing a quick reboot on the computer
to rule out the touch screen intermittently working.
I then went to the windows settings, System tab, About tab to see if pen and touch
was listed as active, and it was.
Once verifying these settings being active I deducted that the crack in screen
must've damaged the digitizer which is responible for registering touch input.
in often a digitzer is apart of the display itself so the enitre screen would need
to be replaced.
