Touch screen on my Vaio duo freezes quit often and I have to log off/log in to get it back to normal. Any one has any idea how can I fix it? I contacted Sony and their dumb technicians could not help!

Other recent Sony touchscreen models had the same problems. They issued BIOS updates that are supposed to fix the problems. Also, do NOT update to Windows 8.1without following the specific instructions on the Sony website. You have to upgrade some items first or you will run into huge problems. It seems absurd that you have to do this, but I'd you don't, the only way to fix it will be to do a system restore or a completely fresh installation of Windows.

I finally returned it to get a new one, hopefully it won't happen again. Despite the criticism of the media, I think it is a great device.

I don't use my touchscreen much because it's connected to a monitor. But one thing I would ask is have you updated all your VAIO software?

Mr Wu, I never needed to replace my screen, but I really suspect that when that time arrives, I'll strongly think about a laptop replacement. The screen gets mutilated, over time, by the constant 'touch.' Perhaps, an inquiry to Sony will help you decide. Good luck.

Every once in awhile my tablet would freeze, but only after a significant amount of constant use. Does this person have alot of apps downloaded? There may be a virus or it also could be the internet signal. Can you tell me more about the specific of what its doing and the problem? I may be able to try to help. Cathleen Garcia

I don't know, but when I bought a replacement through Amazon I gave the exact model of my Vaio and I got about 2 or 3 choices. The one that I picked is working fine. You should try that.

I just bought this laptop and I'm having the same problem. It runs fine and suddenly freezes and nothing works. The only way out is a cold boot with a prolonged unsuccessful Windows 7 repair attempt. Any ideas how to correct this problem?

I bought a new Sony Vaio E series laptop last year September. At first it was amazing, but now I have been experiencing some problems.

Mine started to freeze and then kept on. At first I was able to hard reset, that stopped working then I tried I hit the outside reset (Pinhole button on the side), it didn't work. I only had it for two weeks. Snowy screen constantly. So I returned it.

Hey, I don't have the same problem after connecting to a computer. But when I'm in review mode and delete a photo/video and turn off the camera directly without going back to camera mode, I've noticed that the screen stays on, but black and none of the buttons, not even power, will work. You just have to simply remove the front cover, take out the battery and put it back in. I've had to do this 3 times thus far and it's not a consistently occurring problem, but the solution works every time.

That is strange. I have actually had no problems with mine at all. In fact, I really like it. Do you think you have the speed set on your mouse pointer too high or maybe the button to roll the screen in the middle is somehow stuck? Looks like you could get it replaced at least.

I had the same problem with my Sony Vaio VPCEB31ME five months ago. I checked the serial number of the broken screen, it was matching with this LP156WH1(TL)(C1) LAPTOP LCD SCREEN and I bought it. It worked perfectly!

Nope, but I had worse problems. Touchscreen stop working after about 20 days use. It's supposed to be for rough use. I think it's a defective item. It hasn't even been droped... Will return it

I didn't have to activate anything for my touch screen. I'm wondering if something is wrong with yours. I would call Dell support and then maybe you need to send it back.

I am sorry but you are asking the wrong person! My husband bought this for me in July and it's been returned twice since. I'm waiting for it to come back now. :( The touchscreen stopped working both times.

Has what been fixed? I have an occasional problem where the display driver crashes without warning. About 2/3rds of the time it recovers by itself otherwise I have to reboot the machine. When I say occasional, mostly I go months without interruptions and the I have it happen several times in a row and then it stops. This is the only error I know of. This tablet is a very good eReader for me, I cannot speak for others. I virtually never have troubles with the touch Windows key when I use the tablet without the keyboard. The keyboard conceals the touch Windows key so you never have any problems when the keyboard is attached.

I have the same issue with my Gateway PC touch screen using a Microsoft wireless mouse. If I clean the monitor screen with a micro fiber cloth it stops. I don't know if it is static or what. I also disconnected the touch screen since i never use it anyway.
