What is the ghost touch issue on Micromax Funbook Alfa P250?

When you hear the term ghost touch, what do you think? Do you think of a ghostly presence, a shadowy figure, or something else entirely? It’s easy to associate the term ghost touch with the supernatural.

We all use tablets daily and carry them everywhere; that’s one of the points of having a tablet. But when you use something daily, it is bound to get dirty.

So, ensure that your tablet’s screen has no residue of water, oil, grease, or any other kind of liquid on the screen.

If there is any, clean it with a wet towel. You can use isopropyl alcohol or any isopropyl alcohol-based glass cleaner if it doesn’t come off.

Change the Charger

If the ghost touch issue only hits your Micromax Funbook Alfa P250 when you plug it to charge, it is most probably caused due to the charger.

Test if the issue persists with a different charger.

Before you buy a new charger, I suggest you borrow one from your family members or friends and verify if your charger is indeed faulty.

Remove your screen protector

  3. Test if the issue is fixed

Once you verify that the screen protector caused the issue, you can install a new screen protector on your Micromax Funbook Alfa P250.

Faulty Touch Panel

Multiple layers of components combined make the screen. You can learn more about it from this website.

One of the layers is the touch digitizer layer; some refer to it as the touch panel; this layer is responsible for capturing the location where your finger touched, and then your tablet responds. It is not visible with naked eyes.

There is a probability that even though the display is scratch-less but the touch digitizer layer inside is damaged, causing ghost touch.

Unfortunately, as this is a hardware issue, you can’t fix it. So instead, you need to take your Micromax Funbook Alfa P250 to the nearest Micromax Repair Center and get it fixed by their technicians.
