Windows 10 Tablet touchscreen several inches off calibration/seems to be divided down the center like a miror

0

I have an Asus Vivotab 8 M81C running Windows 10 and I've encountered an odd problem. The crux is that where I touch the screen and where the screen registers me touching it is a good 3-4 inches off the mark. I've tried running the built in Pen and Touch Calibration tool built into Win10 but that doesn't do anything. The tool itself is still registering it as off. I can't even tap the little crosshairs. I can get a few of them by offsetting where I'm tapping the screen by a few inches and guessing where it will register, but I'd have to have my finger offscreen entirely to hit some of them so I can't even complete it.

I've tried rolling back drivers, using the Asus update tool, and I've even done a total "delete everything and reinstall Windows from scratch reset and the problem persists. I had thought the problem arose when I updated a driver, but for it to persist after a total reset seems like that should mean it's a deeper problem then that. I have not dropped the tablet at all, there are no cracks or distortion, USB mice and keyboards work fine, and even the touchscreen function works, it's just off by a significant amount.

Are there any third party touchscreen diagnostic tools or calibration tools out there that I can use to force it to change where it's expecting my finger to be?

Here is a gif of the problem in action

As you can tell by the above gif, not only is it registering the touch in the wrong place, there seems to be some kind of invisible mirror line in the middle of the screen where as my finger gets closer to the line, the place where the screen is registering the touch moves close to it, but gets farther the further from the middle I get. Like it's split in half and reversed down the middle.

1How old is the device? Is there a warranty? Digitizer can go bad. – Ramhound – 2019-02-21T13:51:05.300

About 4 years. It's not under warranty anymore. I contacted Asus and they checked. – John Smith – 2019-02-21T13:55:27.040
