Your tablet screen stops responding to touch randomly
A touchscreen that stops responding randomly is dirty, has a damaged screen protector, or doesn't have enough memory. Clean it first -- that fixes most cases.
Random unresponsiveness is something interfering with the touch sensors: dirt or moisture on the screen, a damaged screen protector, or software running out of memory. We'll test each one.
