Dell - disabled Touchpad laptop. How should I do?

I have a Dell laptop, and now when I start it up, it warns me to that my touchpad has been disabled.

How can I fix it?

Russ

Hi Rawbrush

Welcome to the Dell Community.

Depending on system, you can perform the following key combinations to activate / disable the touchpad

1 Fn + F3 or simply F3

2. some systems have a key on the right side of the F12 key with a drawing of a touchpad and X top that turns the touchpad on and off

3. remove the battery and the adapter from the system and external devices, then press and hold the power / button to start 30 seconds then release. Then start the system. It works several times

Please return back with your observation.

I'm happy to help you.

  • My new HP laptop has a tactile mouse that drives me crazy. My documents will always big little to large whenever my hand approached the touchpad. How can I disable it?

    For example, I'm going to be typing a simple document with the size set to 100%. Then suddenly the document goes to, say, 67%, I bring it to 100%, then it goes to 150%.  It's pretty boring, but I clap my hands come near the touchpad (I guess that's what it's called - it's pretty much the mouse of the laptop). I want to disable this feature. Can you help me? I'm about to go back to my old computer because of this annoying feature.

    Hi Beth

    Because the keyboard is integrated in the housing of the computer laptop, something so simple that the vibration caused by typing can cause the touchpad the cursor or initiate a click, depending on sensitivity settings.

    You must disable the touchpad when typing. Most modern laptops provide an option or a keyboard shortcut to get there.

    The following keyboard shortcuts have been known to disable the touchpad on different systems. Press and hold down the Fn key and then press F3, F4, F6, F7, F9, or F12 to disable the Touchpad.

    Specific instructions, read the instructions for your system or contact the support of laptop manufacturers.

  • Disable TouchPad on Dell Inspiron 1720 - Vista Home Premium

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop and I would like to disable the touchpad so that I can move the cursor of the mouse only.

    Why? One wonders...  I can type text, when suddenly, the cursor will jump and I tap on the line above on the previous text. This has happened before, when I had first PC, and I've sorted it by disabling the touchpad. However, I have re installed the OS, etc, and everything must be reset to zero.

    2 years on I forgot how do. I tried Panel Manager and control device, but he can't get by on this machine. The system is Vista Home Premium, if it is of no relevance.

  • How to record voice on my Dell Inspiron 15R laptop not touch?

    Hello

    I'm getting used to my new Dell Inspiror 15R laptop and I am wanting to record some audio tracks I can then download on soundcloud or youtube.  I see a jack for headphones on the side of the computer, but I do not have a microphone.  Is there a built-in to the computer?  Or I have to buy a microphone?  Can I make voice recording with headphones (like the kind you would for Skype with)?  My computer came with the built software with which I can record and edit my audio tracks?

    Thank you!

    sburdick

    Hello. There are about 4 different models that Dell sold under the generic name of the Inspiron 15R, so if you need more help, please include the complete of the laptop model name and the name of your operating system.

    All current Dell laptops have established in the PRI. Set top, right click on the audio icon on the taskbar (or if you have Windows 8, you'll need to get to the office, I'm not sure), then click on "recording devices". The sound properties will be open on the recording tab find the internal microphone in the list and right-click on it, then click on "enable", click "set as default device".

    As an option, while the micro internal is still selected (highlighted), click 'Properties', then the levels tab. This is when you set the volume level for the microphone.

    With respect to the recording software, there are very probably only Windows Sound Recorder, which is pretty bare bones. You can use it to test the microphone. To open it, type sound recorder in the search box.

    For serious recording and editing you should buy a graphic audio recording program, or download the free program Audacity. Just google Audacity.

    With regard to external policy: If there is only one socket on the laptop case, then you have one of the models with a Jack "combo". That kind of jack will not support a regular computer microphone. Catches combined work with smart phone type of headsets, which combine a microphone and headphones in one single take. You can tell if you have this kind of helmet because the connector has 4 segments instead of the normal 3 segments on a stereo plug.

    The combined catch take care of normal headphones.

    The combined catches do not support stereo plug-in software component line.

    You can get an adapter to make a combo Jack accepts a normal computer microphone, but an adapter cannot make a plug combo stereo support line snap. To the stereo line you would need an adapter usb audio that has a line-in socket - that is to say if your computer only has a combo Jack.

  • How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

    I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

  • HP envy 15 t-q400: permanently disable touchpad

    Hi everyone, does anyone know how to permanently disable a synaptics touchpad? I went to the touchpad settings and clicked on disable touchpad so that disable touchpad when a usb mouse is connected. My problem is that when I reboot, the pad touchpad is enabled again and I have to repeat the steps above. Is it possible to disable permanently? Maybe something in the bios? I also uninstalled the synaptics driver, but my touchpad still works.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First of all, if she has not already reinstalled, install the driver Synaptics, and then restart the laptop.

    When Windows has reloaded, hold down the Windows key and press R

    In the run box, type regedit and press enter

    In the registry editor, navigate to the following

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install

    Inside, look for a key named DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade

    If it is present, right click on the key and select Edit

    Set the field data of the value 0 (zero) , and then click Ok.

    Close the registry editor.

    Open the control panel of Synaptics and set options to 'disable the touchpad' and 'disable the touchpad when a usb mouse is connected', and then apply the change.

    Check if the settings is now kept after a reboot.

    Kind regards

  • Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

    Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?

    What version of OS/Safari do you use?

    Try a reboot.

    Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.

    Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

    Isolate a problem by using a different user account

    If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account.  Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

  • Disable touchpad HP Envy 17

    I have exactly the same problem you have posted... Do you have a solution?  There is no 'mouse' or "Point Touch Control Pad" with a disable to kill the touchpad.  I am thinking to resort to disassemble the laptop and unplug the cable that plugs into the touchpad itself.  I also deleted the synaptic touch pad (Windows 7) device driver and did not help.

    I'm pretty sure that remove the cable from the touch pad will fix the problem, but it is a fairly long process... 20 with respect to and then if I still wanted to sell the laptop, I would probably have to plug the cable back in again for someone else.

    Please help, Dave

    I've done what I suggested above to remove the flat cable for the touchpad disable touchpad and it worked very well.   I removed the two ends and folded cable where HP had folded it and scotch taped it to the system board next to the connector where it plugs IO on the system board so that someone will be able to put it back in if I never sold it.  On the plug, it has a little fitting valve rubber to flip upward to allow you to remove the cable at both ends.  I don't have any errors saying that it was not connected.  After the cable has been removed it simply does not work which is exactly what I wanted.    Problem solved.
