Touch pad light doesn't come on

My laptop is just about 2 months old and i noticed 2 days ago that the white light around my touchpad doesn't come on anymore.Though everything still works perfectly and the red light still shows when i tap on the upper left corner to disable the touch pad.But the white light still doesn't come on when i reactivate the touchpad. i've tried system restore it didn't work.

    Thanks for your recommendation. Unfortunately i tried and it didn't work. I downloaded the drivers from the manufacturer''s site "hp" and installed it but it didn't work.The light is still off

Download and reinstall the touchpad drivers.

Get onlineand got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "HPSupport" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operatingsystem when requested. Download and install the Touchpad drivers.

  • I hope you got it for $99 after HP decided they were too much trouble to deal with. The sold them for $599 for seven weeks and then told the retailers to get rid of them for $99.

SOURCE: Touch pad not working

That's a sign that the synaptic touch pad needs to be replaced. Eventually they wear out.

SOURCE: dell latitude c610 touch pad left button problem

Will your laptop work properly with an external mouse? If so, check your touchpad settings in "Control Panel" by selecting "Mouse". Here you can reassign your Buttons. Try setting your Right Button function to "Double Click". If the "Double Click" function works on your Right Button then chances are you have a problem with your Touchpad Assembly which means it will have to be replaced. Dell refers to it as a "Palmrest" which they will replace if still under warranty.

SOURCE: toshiba notebook touchpad tap doesnt work

Goto 'Control Panel - Mouse - Device Settings, Highlight the device in the list and then click settings. It Might just be that it needs re-configuring. Devices like this tend to loose there configuration due to being used so much and of course the ammount of pressure put on them. There is alot you can reset here. The touch pad does alot more than you think, We just dont bother to look at the settings because we are too busy looking at the screen,and rightly so. Im not saying this will rectify the problem but its worth a try.

SOURCE: TOUCH PAD NOT FUNCTIONING

Well this depends. If he did a restore that involved formatting the hard drive (or a detsructive restore), then no can't help you. If not, he may of just installed Windows over itself, leaving your file system intact. Either way,it's hard to say, because being your computer, I don't know where you ha your files saved to start. But more than likely you will have to start over.

My ph pavilion dv7 touch pad's light is off, what must I do to get it on again?

Looking at a picture of the laptop, it is like most HP computers. There is a button directly above the touch pad. This is your on/off button. Press it and wait a few seconds, and the light should turn blue.

Touchpad stopped working cannot move pointer arrow around screen

Hi,

Just check for the key combination on your key board (ex. Fn + F4 or F5..depends on the what key was designed for the touchpad), the touchpad might be locked.

If it is not locked, reinstall the touchpad driver, but it this still doesn't work, boot to Safe Mode to check if it does. Touch pad still not responding in Safe Mode would mean hardware failure.

Hope this helps.

Mouse touch pad problem Lenovo Y410 model notebook

Just above my keyboard there is a little black strip with little lights.
they are control buttons and if you tap one of them it turns the touchpad off and on (so it's very easy to do accidentally).

 If you look really closely at the strip in good light (or restart the laptop to see them flash on and off) you'll see that one looks like a touchpad crossed out. Just press this to get your touchpad back.

If it doesnt solve the problem, I have noticed that the touchpad can be knocked out by a Window Update of something called ideacom. If you believe this could be the problem please clarify.

I have a Toshiba L35 S2161 Laptop. My curser jumps all over the place while I am typing. It takes a long time to complete a sentence because I have to go back and bring the curser to where I want it...

i have the same prob with my laptop, the solution is to go to the manufacturer web and look up your model laptop and download the newest version of your touchpad driver or th synapsis driver for touchpad it will allow you to change the sensitivity of the touch pad, believe it or not you unknowingly touch the pad while typing
