Intel NUC M15 laptop kit (model: LAPBC710) - touch screen stopped working

[dugi_gotoff_ashr]

Hello!

There is no "NUC laptop kit" section, so please move this post to it once you create it.

I am posting here now...

The problem is that touch screen of the laptop stopped working. Driver is installed, tried to remove, reboot, reinstall, but no result.

Issue:

Intel(R) Precise Touch and Stylus (Intel(R) PTS) - Base Driver - Port #1

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

When I try to reinstall driver (as admin, batch file), version: TouchPad-Win10-27.1.84.6 from April driver pack, I get error:

Microsoft PnP Utility

Press any key to continue . . .

Not sure what to do.

Also, I would strongly recomment to Intel to make one and only installation file & simple procedure for installing and updating drivers. Even the great utility Intel® Driver & Support Assistant is not showing all drivers (touchpad, touchscreen, etc).

SSU attached, as well as screenshot when forcing driver installation from specific folder.

Help please.

Thank you.

Hi @dugi_gotoff_ashr,

Can you please confirm the issue is with the touchpad? The little pad that works as a mouse or is it with the touchscreen?

If this issue is with the touchpad, I tried to replicate it by removing the driver, I had to plugin a USB mouse so that I can reinstall the driver to get it to work again and I had no issues with that.

Please make sure that you have the Serial_IO-Win10-30.100.2104.1 properly installed plus all other drivers.

If the issue persists, is it possible that you run a fresh Windows Operating System installation?

Regards,

Ronny G

Hello.
No, its touchscreen issue.
See the driver with exclamation point in screenshot above.
Thank you.

But why are you trying to reinstall the drivers for the touchpad? The drivers for the touchscreen are named "THC driver".

[dugi_gotoff_ashr]

Please, read the start of the thread.

I have described everything over there.

It's the issue with TouchScreen driver, and I have tried all possible actions I know.

I was hoping Intel would suggest some solution.

These are the instructions from PDF:

THC Base Driver: Navigate to the Driver_MSI folder, right-click on, IntelTHCBase.inf
and select Install.

Hi @dugi_gotoff_ashr,

Thanks for confirming that the issue is with the touchscreen and not with the touchpad.

I would still recommend that you reinstall the Serial_IO-Win10-30.100.2104.1 and if possible try with a fresh Windows Operating System installation, I can't think of any other troubleshooting we could attempt to resolve this issue.

If the problem persists, I would recommend that you contact the please of purchase for local assistance.

Regards,

Ronny G

Unfortunately, this issue is not resolved by intel, and I couldn't wait for proper solution, so I had to reinstall new fresh Windows 10 OS.

You can leave the thread closed, but not solved.

I like a kit, but the only problem with a kit is it's harder to get warranty service.  If something goes wrong, the different component manufacturers can blame it on each other ... and you can't send the whole shebang back like you can when you buy a whole computer.   Just something to think about!

Hello, Intel!

Again, another unit, the same issue.

It worked just fine, and at one point (van't say when, but probably with Windows Update), this device gets yellow exclamation point in Device Manager.

Off topic: the driver pack is 1.4GB - this is just beyond anything!

Hello Intel,

I want to jump into this conversation also. Under Windows 10, I never had a problem with the touchscreen driver on the M15.

Now that I'm starting to move these units with Windows 11, I am consistently finding that the touchscreen driver does not work with Windows 11. The same device power error as above. Furthermore, system drivers for this device have not been updated since the initial release last April. I find this rather sad. The driver install set for the X15 is much smoother and newer than what you are offering us for the M15.

Is Intel going to continue supporting the  M15??? The download center is a complete mess now and doesn't even show drivers when you choose Windows 11.

Please advise on how we can get the touchscreen to be operational again.  

Thank you,
Raul Espino

Dear Intel  community, 

Purchased Intel NUC M15 LAPBC710 instaling WIndows 11 Pro for third time and always have issue with touchscreen.

There is in device manager yellow mark of explamation on this driver Intel(R) Precise Touch and Stylus (Intel(R) PTS) - Base Driver - Port #1

and also this error

Intel(R) Precise Touch and Stylus (Intel(R) PTS) - Base Driver - Port #1

This device cannot start. (Code 10)

STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE

I also can not find in device manager this driver HID-compliant touch screen under human interface devices.

Some people say that touchscreen must work when you enter BIOS , when I enter BIOS my touch not working.

Beside Windows 11 PRO I installed Ubuntu and Linux Mint also touch screen not working.

Please help, thanks.
