So for the past three weeks, my tablet laptop's touchscreen capabilities have been going on and off. The pen and and finger input weren't working for a few days, then after a few days this problem went away. When the problem returned, I did a system restore to a point when the computer was working fine, and I was still having trouble. For extended periods, I could not use my finger to digital pen as an input device, only to have the problem seemingly fix itself a while later, and the cycle repeat.

I'm at the point where I'm totally w/o touch input. I re-downloaded all relevant drivers from the manufacturer, and even reinstalled windows 7. Initially after the reinstall, it wasn't working, but after I had been using the computer for a few hours it briefly returned, only to go away again.

Do you think that this is a hardware problem? The laptop hasn't undergone any physical damage that I know of, nor does anything look broken. I don't know what to do now.

Highly unlikely to be a driver problem. Likely a damaged screen ribbon cable assembly. Warranty it.
