Orange light on the touchpad

HP Pavilion dm4 - 2033CL-> what is the orange led on the mouse pad for? What is doing? Any purpose?

Hello dm123;

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I understand that you are curious about what the orange light means on your Touchpad. It simply means that your touchpad has been disabled or turned off. It is common when you plug in a USB mouse as there is a setting in most drivers automatically disable the touchpad when it detects a connected USB mouse. If you do not have a USB mouse connected and you will see the orange light you can turn on the Touchpad by double clicking on the top left corner of the touch pad. Doing this, you should see the orange light out.

I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of HP. Have a great day!

  • How can I turn off the orange light in the touchpad?

    I have a HP Pavilion dv5 with a windows 7 OS. Today updated the synaptics software and since then the orange light on the touchpad is not off. I tried to activate and deactivate the activation gesture in the settings and typing the light and nothing has worked.

    Hello

    First, download the latest installer driver Synaptics, on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp50501-51000/sp50819.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    When you are finished, stop the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

  • Satellite S50T - How to get rid of the light on the touchpad?

    Hello
    On the topleft of the touchpad light has recently come - I must have hit a button by mistake. I can't find a way to turn it off.

    It's annoying and it also seems to stop the touchpad to work.

    Thank you very much.

    Newbie

    Toshiba Satellite model S50t-A fitted Win8, linking 8.1 win upgrade.

    I assume that you write on the touchpad power witness. It turns white when the touchpad is disabled.
    Double tab on this indicator will allow new touchpad and small light turns off.

  • Flashing Orange light - to the right of the SD/MMC slot

    Why an orange light flashes next to the slot SD/MMS?

    It looks like a coil or something. Just below it is a solid blue light that looks like a radio tower with curves on each side, as it is to show the power out of it. But the orange light flashes, I wonder about that. I never gave no notice to the frontcourt, but the cat was to stick to something and I went to look for, and it was the orange light flashes. I don't know if it was always there or what. This is on a HP Pavilion 500f about four years. Can you tell me what this means or if I need to do something? Thank you.

    I read your post about how you want to know what radio flashing orange light is on the front panel of your desktop computer, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    The blue light flashing on the front panel is light of wireless radio on your computer indicating a connection to your network, and the amber light indicates hard drive activity. I hope this helps!

  • Portege M300: orange light flashes after spill coffee on the keyboard

    My friend got a M300 and hes recently was smart enough to reverse half a cup of coffee on his laptop keyboard. The first thing is that the laptop power not on at all even when plugged so it might be possible to defects. The weird thing is that the orange light for the socket ((deuxieme left) continues to blink slowly to me - any ideas on what this could mean?

    I havn't tried to clean the keyboard yet due to lack of a small enough screwdriver to unscrew, but because the laptop does not in any case, I think that the problem may be bigger than that. Is that what I can do with him or is it just a case of having to buy a new computer laptop coffee becaue is not covered by the warranty lol

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks J

    Hello

    I agree with Miro.
    The must be something wrong with the hardware. Code bilking isn't always the same. The orange light flashes different for different dysfunctions.
    The Toshiba service partner can read this code and then can give you a good answer on the blackout.

  • MacBook Pro (2014) does not charge despite an orange light when plugged

    Hello

    So my 2 year old Macbook Pro (retina) does not load when it is plugged in - spite, projecting the orange light. I have a battery (20%) and it is reduced whenever I use it and will be soon drained.

    Some of the things I've tried

    -Reset SMC - tried but no change after

    -When I use the mac when it is plugged in the battery icon in the top bar done see the support - but there is no increase in % of the battery. Continuous use it starts to fall.

    -During use (and what battery is plugged) - I checked the report system (about this Mac section) - in the energy sector - it is said does not charge (despite being connected, the orange light and the symbol in the top bar)

    What do you think guys that it is? MLB? Battery?

    What I have to replace or can it be fixed?

    If you have the Apple store, take the machine evaluation.  There is no charge for this, but you need an appointment.   The first thing I would check would be the cable.  You have another machine to test this with.

    (1) disconnect the battery & adapter then press on & press and hold the power button for laptop for 30 seconds then switch on and check if the wireless led lights.

    (2) go to Device Manager then uninstall the drivers wireless network card and restart the device and check if the light is on.

    (3) Please update the Bios & Wireless driver from the HP website.

    (4) click on start search type Recovery Manager and then click on it once select Yes on user access control, and then select I need immediate help and then select driver and select request recovery driver wireless and install it and then restart the device.

    (5) If you are comfortable with reinstalling the wireless card that will be on the rear panel of your device you can try this steps as well.

  • Satelite L775 used high power - orange light blinks 5 times

    Greetings,

    I bought my Toshiba Satelight new l775 7 months ago, it's so crazy. It used to be on, I use the laptop connected to the adapter 4 to 8 hours a day, then the laptop goes unused and unplugged for 16 to 20 hours a day.

    This is my 3rd phone, I know that I put more tension on the previous two (HP and Acer). I've never had a laptop go on me this quick, even this acer laptop $ 300 crossed more tension and never went out in the 15 months that I got it.

    My laptop backup is a HP of 4 years, I've had it for 4 years, its fell several times, used and abused still underway! I just had to level of ram and hard drive. But, this Toshiba! She was so beautiful when I saw him!

    I have never dropped it, never spilled something on it, so why she put me through that stress at a bad time?

    A bad time because even if I'm under warranty, I'm leaving on vacation in 2 days! I need it, I'm not trying to take my old HP that came out in 2008.

    I can't afford to send my Toshiba for 2 weeks, not immediately.

    Today, my anti-virus software was his typical scheduled scan, I didn't charge the laptop, because I was out of work, so when I leave the laptop gets used more and charged additionally. I look at the laptop and its judgment, I just thought, O... my battery died, I would plug in the adapter and do some reading. Nothing good happened. 8 hours later, I worked on it for more than 8 hours, I searched all over google, many forums, none of the following solutions worked for me.

    Disconnect the battery and press power for 30 seconds
    Unplug the adapter and press power for 30 seconds
    Disconnect the battery and the adapter and press power for 30 seconds

    (of course after the 30 sec thing, I tried turns on normally, with or without battery and power adapter).

    I pulled the little battery round, hard drive, memory sticks (even changed the 2 around and I tried each one solo) I tried without any ram. I unplugged all the excess material, the only extra things I had was my usb mouse, but I unplugged that, even pulled the CD-ROM drive.

    I removed all water-cooling, open the laptop to see if I saw something a coward, I don't see anything, the part where the adapter will seem a little loose, but it seems to go all the way and fine. I pushed hard and still nothing.

    One thing I will say... I read at least 8 other fairly new poster of Toshiba satellite owners with similar problems of their laptop does not turn on. This isn't a good glance, since this is the first product of Toshiba, that I bought it and it costs $500 more than my acer laptop which gave me no problem in my 15 months of owning...
    I'm not belittling Toshiba immediately, this problem might be a small question (I hope), I could be my fault, so I'm not belittling Toshiba again because I like a lot about this laptop, especially the graphics!

    Return to this topic after watching the discussions of people with similar problems, I noticed, nobody had the same exact problem I'm having. See most of the threads I have read, people would still get the orange light when the battery has been driven. I ONLY get the orange light when the battery is in the laptop. I try and power without the battery and nothing happens, no light flashes. Many other people were always other color lights or lights in different locations, my only light flashes 5 times, the second place left and is orange.

    The only light that blinked in the last 8 hours is the second light from the left (I think it's the power light) and it flashes orange or maybe its red light... but when I press the power (I tried holding, tapping, etc...) that the orange light blinks 5 times and stops, nothing happens I don't hear any readers of spinning, everything is just dead.

    Thanks for the time and help!

    Hi a8000

    Looks like you already tried all possible solutions
    The flashing light indicates that there is a possible hardware failure, but it is not possible to say what part is malfunctioning, it might be the motherboard
    However, the guarantee seems to be valid so don t waste time and report it to the service provider in your country, they should solve this Toshiba!
