Most likely not.

replaced bios chip

What does this mean? What did you modify and why?

The IPTS interface is provided by the Intel Management Engine, so if the feature is not configured correctly in the hardware and firmware, it won't be exposed to the operating system.

Can you ask for a refund? ;P

No idea whats broken exactly and how you could fix it, sorry. Its either a firmware issue (which is unlikely if you just programmed the original firmware from Microsoft), or an actual hardware issue (yanked off the grounding wire of the touch screen while disassembling or something like that).

You could try to reflash the latest firmware with https://github.com/linux-surface/surface-uefi-firmware, but other than that I have no idea as I never disassembled a surface.
