Touch Screen not working or Pen?

Just purchased this used Toshiba Portege 3500 Tablet. This is my first Tablet and I don't know if its the Pen or the touch screen. What should I try?

    For me, I will go look for the latest driver. Just go to the Toshiba Support Homepage. Here, are whole list of the drivers. Hope, that's help.

    I have the same computer and the touch screen has options to be set. But you can touch the screen with a fingernail and it should respond. I assume you have the pen with the machine. What is the detail of your query?

    What do I do when this occurs? I tried restarting my computer and installing new driver that I found but it didn't help at all. The screen turns when I flip it to tablet mode but the cursor is not aligned with the pen where I move it. Please help.

I suspect the previous owner was using a mouse in preference to the touchpad - you will have to do the same to see if the touchpad and pointer have been disabled in the control panel

Use the Recovery CD to reinstall all that pertains to the Tablet, and that includes the Wacom driver.

Can you use your finger, or other item, other then the pin to use the touch screen on the Toshiba Portege 3500? If so how?
No you cannot. It does not have touch capabilities. But that should not be too difficult to verify. Poke your finger on an icon to see if it comes alive.

I have a Toshiba tablet M780-s7230 and i tried reinstalling the touch screen driver and my tablet pen and touch screen still don't work what else could i do?
Have you turned on the Touch feature on Windows 7 yet? That could be the reason why your touch screen feature is not working.

To turn it on please follow this:

1. Open your Start menu and type "Touch" into the search bar. This will show a variety of options, including the "Pen and Touch" options. Double-click it to open the "Pen and Touch" window.
2. Check the boxes next to the "Use your finger as an input device" and, if preferred, check the "Enable multi-touch gestures and inking" box as well.
3. Click "Apply" to set the options and click "OK" to exit the window.


Hope this helps!

Something happened to where when i use the pen there is this area on the screen that will not allow the pen to touch that area of the screen or go near it, it just skips it, why?
This seems to be a common problem with this Toshiba. I squeeze the molding around the screen near the areas that the touch screen is not working. It usually happends in long blocks that don't respond to the pen.Press along the top sides and bottom running along all the edges with pressure. You may have to work with it a few times but it seems the fix mine for a while.. hope this helps

Pen not detected on especific zones of display
it's a digitizer (hardware part of LCD screen) problem, U can try to buy that part and replace it or just squeeze a little bit LCD screen on the edges around (don't squeeze the screen itself but just black plastic frame around the screen) - it helped my Toshiba for a while :)
