Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.
I understand that you have an HP Pavilion x360 - 14-ba073tx laptop. I read that the touchscreen become unresponsive in tablet mode. There are two white color dots appearing when the touch wont work, Not worry, I'll do my best to help you.
To provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
- Does the touchscreen work fine while laptop/desktop mode?
- When was the last time the touchscreen worked fine in tablet mode?
- Did any software changes or updates happen on the laptop recently?
I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:
you can enable Windows 10 tablet mode (also called Continuum). In tablet mode, your notebook automatically switches to tablet mode when you detach the keyboard from the computer. Then, when you reattach the notebook, it automatically returns to the desktop mode. This document contains instructions for enabling tablet mode and changing the setttings.
