Compaq 2510p: Touchpad on/off button

OK, so I got my hands on this old machine and I encountered a small problem:

The Touchpad will turn off by itself and I have no idea how to do to reactivate.

I tried to look in the manual, but the manual only referred to the indicator switch as the 'button '.

Also, it is not no matter what shortcut fn-button on the keyboard and I tried fn + F1 to F12 with no results.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Nice to read are do you like your new Satellite P500. My friend also bought new Satellite P500 and it is also very satisfied. It s a large notebook with fast and new hardware features. The design is fantastic, I must say.

    Anyway, you can reinstall the eco and Toshiba Value added Package utility that controls these special functions. The two utilities that you can get on the Toshiba page:

  • Re: Satellite L655 - the Touchpad on/off button does not work

    This morning, I noticed that the power button of the touchpad of my Satellite does not, although the Fn + F9 key combination works by enabling and disabling my touchpad.

    It was working well until what I slept last night when I woke up, my laptop has rebooted due to updates of Windows during the night. I don't read anything since I have been using a wireless mouse. Then reach work and check if I can activate my touchpad (Windows has loaded and connected), the display screen that shows if the touchpad is active or not does not appear and my touchpad, power button does not work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Is this problem only you?
    I mean it's not so important, and I would not reinstall or change anything because of this.
    Until you can use the FN + F9 key combination I put t think it's a serious problem.

    What do you think of this?

  • Pavilion a1000n Front Panel on / off button

    The façade, on/off button no longer works.  What are the technical requirements for it so I can get a replacement from other sources as HP stock is no longer a replacement.

    Tony Lake, welcome to the forum.

    You can try the HP Partsurfer page to see if it is listed.  However, given that the computer is more than 9 years old, it may be unavailable at HP.  If this isn't the case, you can try a local computer repair shop to see if they have a third party that will work.

    "Your Bios did not complete the update"

    A few seconds later late in goes to the HP Invent screen. and then again the previous error message. These two screens cycle constantly and there is not only one key that I can use to access the bios settings.

    How can I regain access to this faulty machine to restore or repair the bios please?

    It seems that you have a problem similar to this model (which is basically the same model as yours, except with a 14.1 "display).

  • The off button does not automatically stop the deskjet printer - 6500g.

    When I press the off button, a "shutting down" message is displayed and the button flashes.  This left for 24 hours and the machine does not stop automatically.  It makes a ticking sound like an old wind up clock.  And, with every print request, I get an error message.  Therefore, it does not print and I can't turn it off to reset.  I tried the Tools button, asking him to restore original default, and it does not help.  How can I get this printer to work?

    Hello

    Listed below are the steps that must solve the problem...

    STEP< a="">

    • While the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.

  • Z10 Z10 crahses Blackberry BlackBerry; does not turn off button, and struggles to access the hub

    I just got a new blackberry Z10. which I believe has been refurbishing My Vodafone provider.

    The blackberry is so bad that they actually sent me a knew phone and does not want this return of blackberry but I am frustrated by the latter.

    When receiveing the blackberry, I got the unlock code to unlock it, it worked perfectly.  Once unlocked, I entered my Vodafone SIM that didn't do not need to still use it with another sim card.

    First, I updated the blackberry for the last version of the software and complete the set up process.

    Then I restored my old data from my previous Blackberry Z10, which also does not (various issues)

    The phone blocks (blocks) and did different things; the screen freezes and does not even turn it off the button, I have to take the battery out to restart it, or I have to screen does not freeze, but you cannot access texts/emails or contacts and he says 'prepare the hub' but never really in it.

    Sometimes it will allow me to use the off button, but especially, I have to take the battery out and put back starting.

    It is possible to make a call sometimes, but he cuts during the call.

    I have reset the blackberry back to the factory settings and even tried to use with on a restoration, just in case my data has been corrupted somehow.

    I tried to use it with a different network sim card and also tried it with a sim card, just so use it on wifi, the same problems.

    I was sent a new battery so tried both batteries.

    I have reset to factory several times.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Problem with my simple on/off button music

    It's stupid to consider to what extent I'm away. (you would think I have this would already have in my library... it just never came so far.)

    I have an on off button toggles to simple music. It works great, but the music starts automatically when the SWF loads. I need to have it does NOT start when the swf file loads on the web page... only beginning of course when they switch to the 'on '.

    How I scheduled it, I can't understand. I know that the solution is EXTREMELY easy... my brain just won't grasp it. I included the. SWF and. FLA

    I'm in trouble.

    I looked at your file before I give all the answers today.  I also did what I said that you need to do and it works very well - just open the ON / OFF button movieclip and reverse the order of 2 frames.  I have not any strangeness and when I run the file started with the button showing the music stopped.  Clicking on WE started sound.  It's something I did.

  • Satellite C660: How to turn off the zoom of the touchpad on/off function

    My Satellite C660 zooms pages Web etc. in & on the touchpad mouse.
    I tried to get used to but its been a year & I had to buy a wireless mouse that I can get along with it.

    Can I turn off this feature so the Mouse touchpad don't zoom in & out everything more & just did normal move the pointer of the mouse & tap to click functions?

    Hello

    I think you are talking about the pinch to zoom.
    Yes, this can be disabled.
    Go to control panel-> mouse-> device settings (I think its last tab, it could be called Advanced too)
    Here click the Advanced Settings button
    Here, you should see all the available options. I guess that option should be available here.

  • Portege R930 - Touch Pad on / off button does not work

    Hello

    R930 nine (PT330A) and a minor but annoying thing... the small button above the touch pad and below the space bar for the Touch Pad on / off does not work. I can't find the configuration options for this anywhere. Fn + F9 works very well.

    Not much, but I like things to work! And this button would be very convenient for a quick switch.

    Thank you

    Can you use the Toshiba? I think you should have the button eco and presentation on this machine.

    Check please if you can enable/disable these keys in the HWsetup tool.
    I don t have Win8 machine, but I think that all these buttons can be enabled/disabled.

    Please, check and send comments.

  • Windows 10 - FN button and touchpad lock/unlock button problem Satellite L675-11J

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L675-11J and 10, lock/unlock FN key touchpad button do not work after upgrading to windows.
    Help, please!
    Best regards

    Fn keys require special Toshiba software that controls this feature for laptop.

    But Windows 10 drivers are not published for this series of Satellite L675 because is not win 10 supported.

    From my point of few, this means you can use Notepad as part of Win 10 but without the keys FN function.

  • Mute or LED on / off button question on Satellite A300 - 15 c

    Hello

    I have a similar problem. I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 15 c.

    Until recently, the multimedia keys worked fine. I have assigned an exe file to the second to the left key and been happy to use the power button lights and the dimmer.exe, but a few days ago the drive key stopped turning lights and acts rather as a key to turn off/turn on the sound. I checked the SCT and the key is always associated with the dimmer.exe. I even tried to associate the key with another function, but it remains just mutes / restores the sound the sound. You have an idea as to what could cause this problem and how can I solve this problem?

    And no, apart from updates to Vista randomly I have not installed anything new since before the key drive started acting weird...

    Hello!

    Value added package regulates these buttons and in this case, you must reinstall and use the latest version on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    As Garrett says you have to remove the old version first, restart, clean the system and then install the most recent drivers.
    I started this thread and I think it might be useful to you, because the user Raver posted a nice workaround and you should try this also:
