We all might have experienced issues with the touchscreen display of our tablets at some point. Swiping, tapping, or zoom pinching on the screen will not work and the display will refuse to respond to your touches. All this can be very annoying.
However, you should understand that the touchscreen of the tablet is the primary mode of interaction between the user and the tablet apps, so it is a very vital input aspect of the tablet. Any damage inflicted to the touchscreen of the device will degrade the reliability of the internal components and can lead to touchscreen issues.
Nonetheless, there are many things that you can do to combat the touchscreen issues in your tablet. As starters, you may apply screen protector, use a case that has a soft interior, and keep hard objects away from the tablet. Additionally, make sure that you never place your tablet facing down on hard surfaces, as the tiniest dirt can scratch your display, leading to all issues with the responsiveness of the touchscreen.
Yet if you are already facing responsiveness issues, the tips shared below will help you fix some of the issues with the touchscreen display of your tablet.
Make More RAM Space Available
The best place to start troubleshooting responsiveness issues with your tablet touchscreen is to make more RAM space available. It is true that it will take some time to free up RAM space, and in some cases, you might need a restart. However, it will help you understand how bad the issue is.
If your tablet is powered by Android, you have numerous options of clearing up the RAM space. You can do things like clearing app cache and use third party cleaner apps to boost RAM as well.
Realign the Display
This should be done only if your tablet is out of warranty. This step basically involves removing the display and then replacing it. An accidental knock might have dislodged the display, and realigning it would help fix the issue.
Yet before trying to realign the tablet, you should ensure that you have the tools necessary to dismantle the device, and reassemble it. You should never take this step lightly, as the tablet may be rendered useless forever if something goes wrong.
Use a Calibration Tool
Calibrating the tablet display can help you resolve some of popular touchscreen detection issues. There are no calibration tools available for iPad users, but Android users can find a number of calibration tools online. If you had an iPad, better take it to a service center to fix the issue.
