New OEM screen restored my Lenovo Yoga 730-15IKB laptop's touchscreen function
I bought an OEM replacement screen for my Lenovo Yoga 730-15KIB laptop, which lost its finger touch response but retained its active pen response. These two features are physically and electronically separate. I tried recommended software solutions first. None worked. Then I tried reseating both ends of the screen cable. That didn't work. Then I tried replacing the screen cable with a new one. No joy. Finally, I replaced the screen, which restored all functions - even with the original cable. While some proportion of Yoga 700-series laptop screens apparently black out or otherwise "fail" due to cables that break or come loose at the connector, my old cable was perfectly fine. This was clearly a screen hardware issue in my case.
I found a very good YouTube video that showed me how to remove the screen. My screen is held to the laptop cover with 2 separate pieces of tape, each of which has a non-sticky tab on one end. These tabs are slightly exposed at the bottom of the screen, and they must be pulled with a slow and steady force to remove the tape - no heat required. The tape cannot be reused, so I bought new OEM tape off of eBay.
I can't say what caused my screen to fail. In the two years I've had the laptop, I dropped it once on its back edge about 1 foot while it was stored inside a well-padded laptop bag a year ago. The screen was fine for a year after that incident. I use the laptop a few hours per day, scrolling through web pages and documents using the touchscreen feature. I rarely use the active pen. The laptop is usually opened to the standard position, not in tablet or tent mode. The screen failed shortly after I returned the laptop from tablet mode to standard position. I can’t say what caused my laptop to fail. Infant mortality? Random electronic failure? Current/voltage spike while going from tablet to standard mode? Flexion of the screen? Wearout from typical user interaction with the touchscreen (shock vibration)? Hopefully, this review will help others that experience the same issue.
