Hello i own the hp pavilion convertable laptop
is it okay that when i press a bit hard on the touch screen it sounds like a verrryy small crack sound
Keep in mind that the screen is working perfectly without any damages and its new
but i was concerned is the crack sound normal to happen due to the screen’s layers gap inside?

@Re60, Welcome to the HP Support Community – it’s great to have you here!
I appreciate you taking the time to share your question. I'm more than happy to assist with this and provide a solution that works for you.
It's great to hear that your HP Pavilion Convertible laptop is new and functioning well. Regarding the faint "crack" sound you hear when pressing a bit hard on the touchscreen, here's what you need to know:
Is the sound normal?
Yes, a very faint crackling or creaking sound can sometimes be heard when pressing on a touchscreen, especially on convertible or 2-in-1 laptops. This is usually due to:
- Layered construction of the display: Touchscreens have multiple layers (glass, digitizer, LCD, etc.), and slight movement or flexing between these layers can produce a sound.
- Frame flex: The bezel or chassis may slightly flex under pressure, especially near the edges.
- Temperature or humidity changes: These can cause minor expansion or contraction of materials, which may contribute to occasional sounds.
As long as:
- The screen is not cracked or visibly damaged
- Touch functionality is working perfectly
- There are no display issues (flickering, dead pixels, discoloration)
...then this sound is generally not a cause for concern.
What you can do:
To be safe, here are a few steps you can take:
Avoid pressing hard on the screen, capacitive touchscreens are designed to respond to light touches.
Run HP Hardware Diagnostics to confirm everything is functioning normally:
- HP PC Hardware Diagnostics | HP® Support
- You can test the Touchscreen under “Component Tests” > “Touch Screen Test”.
Inspect the screen edges and bezel for any gaps or loose fittings. If you notice anything unusual, you can visit the nearest HP authorized service center, the service team will check and assist you further.
