HELP! My HP Pavilion 2 in 1 has Ghost/Phantom Touches and will not let me enter my PIN. How do I get past this, disable the touch screen and/or fix this?

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

• Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
• What is the operating system?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?
• What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03754824 (Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

I would suggest you first perform a hard reset on the notebook. Follow steps from the link: https://hp.care/2GnkMa8

Once done, try running a touch screen diagnostic test.

Step by step instructions to perform the test Go to http://hp.care/2chznWE and expand and follow the steps mentioned under “Touch screen responds inaccurately”.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi, sorry i was away and did not see your messages.

• Did this happen after a recent window or software update?  - no
• What is the operating system? - Win 10
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? - I cant log into the system, it won't let me enter my PIN.
• What is the product number of your device? - HP Pavillion x360 m3 convertible PC

I would suggest you first perform a hard reset on the notebook. - done this, the PC starts up, the ghosting makes it impossible for me to enter my PIN and go any further than the start screen.  Because I can't enter my PIN, I cant disable the touch screen.

What else can i do?

Thank you for your help!
