Having somehow managed to crack the screen on an Asus T100 on my way to work this morning, I was faced with the cracked area being interpreted as near-continuous touches, making the machine almost unusable. Thinking I’d turn off the touch on the screen, I found numerous posts suggesting that Human Interface Devices in Device Manager (in Control Panel) is the way to go and to look for and disable one of the USB Input Device entries. Having accidentally switched of the keyboard and trackpad several times (make sure you only try then one at a time!), I then spotted that my Asus has a device called HID-compliant touch screen. I disabled this and now have a fully working no touch notebook while I organise a repair.

In windows 8.1:
– press start and search for “Device Manager”. Your user account will need to be an Administrator for this to work
– find the expandable group labeled “Human Interface Devices”
– find the item labeled “HID-compliant Touch Screen”
– right click the above item and choose Properties
– choose the Driver tab
– click the button labeled “Disable” selected device
done.
Hi
I cracked the glass screen a few months ago. It was pressing on the screen so I disabled touchscreen until I got the glass replaced.
NowI am trying to get touch to work again and it doesn’t. It is enabled and says there is not problem with the device, that the driver is the most up to date.
I have a T200 with Windows 8.
Any idea what I can do?
Thank you

Hi Mimie
I’m afraid I don’t – I’m no hardware expert. Is it worth taking it back to the people who replaced the screen/is it possible that they didn’t connect everything up properly?
