Portege R830 - cannot disable touchpad

Hello, strange question. But can not turn off the touchpad on a Portégé R830 (Windows 7 32 bit). I've seen this problem on two of the machines I have. This has never been a problem for the models Tecra I got, M5, M9, M10, M11, etc. R840.

I have the latest driver installed Alps, from Toshiba.co.uk. I tried the button on the touchpad, it does not work. The device of the Alps can be disabled in the Device Manager. I tried the Toucpad of the State system, Advanced tab, toolbar properties Advanced settings. It doesn't have a single parameter «Disable touchpad» There is no option to disable the touchpad when you use a USB mouse - however, this does not work.

Can anyone help with this? The only other option I can think of is the BIOS, but it would be inappropriate to my users, who may want to turn it back on it at a certain point during execution of Windows.

Hi liamw,

You can disable the touchpad if you press the FN + F9 key combination. The touchpad will be disabled until you press this combination of keys again, but a mouse external isn t touched. That means you can still use a same USB touchpad mouse is disabled with FN + F9 key combination.

Check this box!

  • Re: Portege R830 - cannot find my model on the list of Product Support

    Hello world

    I recently bought a Portege R830 and was trying to find support for my model page.

    However, on the list of Product Support, where you choose the model, I can't find which is mine.

    My model is displayed as * R830-1056UB * in the box your laptop came and he just say * Portégé R830 * on the underside of the laptop.

    There are several entries for R830 on product support list, but * R830-1056UB * is not one of them.

    * Any ideas how I can decide which one is mine? * (I'm worried about download bad software/drivers for my laptop)

    I'm not in a country with a support phone number and it seems Toshiba support do not have a contact e-mail, so I was not able to contact Toshiba directly for help.

    Thanks in advance for your time and help!

  • Portege R830 cannot connect iPhone4S to USB port

    Hello world

    I have 5 Portege R830-138 with Win7x64 nine completely updated with the latest drivers and patches.
    Yesterday I connected my iPhone4S to the USB port on the right side and everything worked well (iTunes, tie, etc.).

    Unfortunately, this (the one on the right side) USB port no longer works for today: iPhone, mouse usb pendrives... nothing, it seems to be dead. The USB port on the left side still works with mouse usb and memories but not with the iPhone.

    I thought it was a problem of HW laptop on the right side USB port so I tried with a second Portege.
    Same problem: plug the iPhone on the right side, USB port, the USB port is not working.

    The same iPhone connected to my MacBook Air works fine.
    I wouldn't try with a third Portege, do you have any ideas?

    Thank you

  • Cannot disable Touchpad on Windows 7.

    I am running Windows 7 and I want to disable the touchpad. When I try to disable it in Device Manager, the option 'Disable' is not clickable. When I try 'Delete' option, it says I have to restart my computer to apply the changes, but after that I restarted my computer, the Touchpad is still active.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I got an even hard to disable touchpad, and I had the problem in this way. If possible, connect an external mouse into a USB port, then open the Touchpad control properties tab and look for a framework written something like this: disable the Touchpad when an external mouse is detected.

    Go back to Device Manager, and then try to disable the Touchpad. As an external mouse is already connected so I have a registered pointing device, Windows would let me disable the Touchpad without reinstalling on the next reboot.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards

    What is the brand and model of the laptop?

    You can follow these steps to disable the touchpad when using an external mouse.

    a. click Start on your computer screen (lower left corner), and then type main.cpl in the search box. When you finish typing, click Enter on your keyboard.

    b. in the new window that opens, click settings tab at the top. It should be the last on the right.

    c. While in the device settings section, make sure that the name of your touchpad is highlighted (it should be already), and then click the disable button. Click OK, and then click OK again when the warning box appears.

    Hello

    I guess that you can not use the FN + F9 options. Right?
    This means that you have not installed the driver for the touchpad and / or the VAP (value added package).

    Do it to get the keys FN working again.

  • Satellite A350 - cannot disable Touchpad

    Hello

    I bought my new computer A350 laptop 3-4 weeks ago and I'm loving the sound QUALITY!

    In any case, I want to disable the mouse pad, but I can't. I have the guid of the user on my laptop, that says: Touchpad: by pressing FN + F9 toggles the function of touch pad. Unfortunately it does not work! When I press it nothing happens, I don't see a change in the touchpad icon, which apparently, so well done must have a big red X or something like that, but again, this does not happen.

    I also looked at the properties of the mouse of my mouse, and when I select the Advanced tab, then move the settings of the feature..., under the touch pad settings, there is no option to disable that is extremely strange. There is another button of parameters for what can I press on, but there is no option to turn it off.

    What should I do to disbale the touchpad, because at the time of writing these, pressing FN + F9 does not work?

    > Hi, thanks for the response. I am running Windows vista Service Pack 1 Home Premium that was already installed when I bought it. I don't know if I'm running the factory settings, nor have I ever heard of this?

    If you use the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba, then you use Notepad with the settings ;)

    In your case I would recommend reinstalling the touchpad driver; Synaptics and Alps Electric.
    In addition, there is a utility called tool Support Flash Cards.
    This module is an essential component of Windows systems and it is necessary to other original programs for TOSHIBA to work properly.

    The relocation of the VAP (value added package) is also recommended.

    Hi all

    Portege R830 - 138 current BIOS 3.7

    I can't update the BIOS to 3.8 or the latest version of 3.9. Error: This computer is not supported.

    VAP is installed and modules work. A previous post on the forum suggested that it could be linked to the Intel firmware update recent Management Interface which I had asked and I am unable to uninstall or rollback.

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    One of my friends has updated the BIOS from 3.7 to 3.9 without major problems.
    It might be possible that you cannot update the BIOS because of missing or disabled TVALZ services.

    Go to control panel of control-> the Administrative Tools icon, and then click services.

    Here, you can check if the TVALZ service is available, if it is available, turn it on and then try to update the BIOS.

    If this does not work, you will need to retrieve the laptop using recovery disk or recovery disk that the BIOS update should functions using factory reset Toshiba

  • Intel 82579LM NIC on the Portege R830 does "Promiscuous" mode?

    Hello

    I have a laptop (Portege R830) work, who does not want to sniff the packets. I connected to a hub Netgear DS104-, as well as an older laptop and then uplink to ADSL.

    Run a continuous ping the default gateway and Wireshark on the devices and the other computer can see the pings from Toshiba, but not vice versa.

    The Toshiba runs under an administrator account has disabled Windows Firewall and my disabled Symantec endpoint encryption. I don't have any other AV to my knowledge.

    Does anyone have ideas of services I should turn on or off, or the knowledge of the characteristics of this NETWORK adapter?

    According to the Intel site "Yes, all cards Intel® PRO/100 Intel® PRO/1000, Intel® Gigabit, Intel® PRO/10 Gigabit and 10 Gigabit from Intel® currently on the market support"Promiscuous"mode." But Intel® 82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller is not in the list that follows http://www.Intel.com/support/Network/SB/CS-004185.htm?wapkw=%28promiscuous%29

    Thanks for your time.

    Usually the firewall or security software Internet blocks pings so maybe try to uninstall Symantec completely. Disable it just cannot turn off everything.

    Another thing to try, is to use a static IP instead of DHCP. Disable IPv6 or install a new LAN driver from the Intel Web site may also help.
