Does anyone still have the CalibG4.exe touch screen dead zone hotfix file for the Surface Pro 3 they could share with me? I've seen posts to the Sony support website where you used to be able to download it from, but it no longer seems active. So I've no idea how to obtain it.

EDIT: 

Found it. It says Windows 8, but I used it on my Windows 10 and worked like a charm.

If this link ever dies in the future, let me know (jestercat at out) because I'm going to save the file.

    Dear All

    The first, I am sorry for my English badly ! However Now, After 7 months - I did my Surface pro with windows 10 1809 well, My Touch Screen: Ghost screen and TouchPad dont dance any where. So I would like to share every body.

    A, My Surface pro 3: Back ground: Win 8 pro update win 10 pro: Display screen with many cricles, Ghost and touchpad dance any where. Even, more than when restart, Its not start with logo "Surface" ( Code 10 -14, I see in Firmware.

    B, Howby

    • I restore win.... Its not good. So Dont Restore. You need step by step as

    1, Device manager:

    • Firmware: see:"touch controller Fw with Err 10/14 you need UEFI update or Rollback => Your Surface will Restart well, ok.

    2, Ghost
