Problem Touchpad Y570.

I discovered that the keyboard seems to replace the touchpad on my y570. If I have a key, the mouse does not move and then takes a second to answer so I left space on the key. I tried a USB mouse, and there is no problem. Any thoughts on what could be the cause and what can be done to remedy the situation?

BTW, I just got the system and all drivers are in stock.

There is a feature in Synaptics Touchpad called PalmCheck. To disable:

Click Start > type "mouse" and select the first option. Click the device settings tab:

Click settings. Expand tab Pointing and find Palm check:

Click on the gear. Slide the bar completely to the left:

Close and you should be good.

This applies to all THE Ideapads too.

  • Satellite L50D-B-131 - several problems: touchpad, keyboard, internet

    Hi all!

    I've had my laptop for a while, but I never really had time to take care of the problems accompanying.

    Since I'm away, all the way in July, my touchpad doesn't work properly.
    As simple as that. It would work for a few seconds at the start, then it would just get stuck in scroll mode.

    My keyboard sometimes just stops working after a long while of using my laptop.

    When my laptop turns off after that I'm away from keyboard, then back on, the screen is black.
    Whenever I need to shut it down, and yet it in standby mode, and then reopen it so that screen to display everything.

    I have no idea why, also, but all three of my Explorers are very bugs. Chrome, Mozilla and IE.
    My videos just stop at random, to recharge and refresh with much less good quality.
    They like to close no reason too. When I'm browsing a simple page like Facebook, I have framerate problems, I can't scroll correctly because when I do, I find myself skipping sections because it is this stroller.

    Can anyone help? Thank you.

    Guess what?
    It is hard to believe that all these questions would be related to a general problem.

    For example internet explore described making sounds to me like a slow internet connection. Internet browsers are probably not able to load all the video data (probably in HD resolution) and, therefore, the video starts to play using lower resolution.

    The touchpad supports some additional features that can be configured in the settings of the MOMENTUM. (Control Panel-> mouse-> momentum settings on the last tab)
    If you n t use all the features of the touchpad, I recommend you to disable the options in the configuration menu momentum.

    Some sound issues too as the system should be locked for a short time.
    Why? I m not quite made sure that, but maybe some application, run in the background and lock the system for awhile.

    I m wondering if you already tried to retrieve the laptop back to factory settings.
    If not; Give it a try. Your comments would be appreciated.

  • Problem Touchpad on Satellite P750 - 02L

    Hi guys, so I have a P750 satellite, according to me, it's a year old just on sound now and since it last a few weeks the touchpad began to play up.

    Whenever I turn on the laptop for the first 5-10 minutes the Mouse touchpad refuses to do what his.
    Half left of the key is completely insensitive and the right side you move your finger to point the mouse and it just goes wherever he likes, he's not going no where I try so that it points.

    Also during his this operation, it is quite often the resizing thing, how you drag it with 2 fingers to zoom. It is a very frustrating problem. I have not fiddled with the settings, I did a reboot of the system back to factory settings, still no luck.

    On a side note, my media keys at the top of the keyboard is no longer light up or make a beep when I press on them.

    This isn't a big deal, but I liked it when they were still on and beeps when you press on, any help on this issue would be appreciated but not necessary. I just my mouse working again :(

    so to sum up the Mouse touchpad refuses to answer correctly for the first 5 to 10 minutes of power upward until it works perfectly normal again.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this rather long question, your help and your feedback will be appreciated.

    > I did a reboot of the system back to factory settings, still no luck.

    What does that mean? Did you use the recovery option? Otherwise, try to get the laptop back to factory settings
    Not quite sure if the touchpad problem is software related, but could be solved by the system recovery

  • Update problems - touchpad and keyboard do not work!

    After you install an update, the touch pad and the keyboard on my laptop won't work.  I was able to use a wireless mouse, after a few failed attempts.  Any suggestions?

    Hi jennkjohns,

    1. what happens when you connect the keyboard to the computer?

    2. what update has been installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    First of all, I would say you visit your laptop manufacturer's website to download and install the updated driver for the touchpad and check if it works.

    Check in the Device Manager, the State of the keyboard.

    Get help with Device Manager errors

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/get-help-with-Device-Manager-errors

     

    Method 2

    Checking update was installed before that the problem occurred.

    (a) updates installed open by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click programs

    (b) and then, under programs and features, click view installed updates.

    Once you know the update's KB number then visit the Microsoft Download and put the number in the search box, download and install the update manually after placing the computer in a clean boot state.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    (a) click Start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    (b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

    (c) under the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    (d) when you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • Pavilion: synaptics touchpad problems.

    I currently have problems touchpad and mouse.

    I used my wireless mouse once and my trachpad has stopped working compltetely.

    I have seen that it is a common problem but Ive tried everything and nothing works. a hard reset worked once to get my mouse works again without the wireless mouse but when I need to click top of cushion does nothing.

    I tried another hard reset, but the mouse pad still does not work. the mouse only appears when I plug the wireless mouse.

    When I go in the settings is not synaptics, so I downloaded synaptics for my laptop and he said 'impossible to find specific program BONES.' so I uninstalled the old version, downloaded the version for my computer laptop but still said the same thing, even if it was the version for my laptop.

    Any idea?

  • Satellite C855-2GX - touchpad is lagging while doing somehting that need RAM

    Hey all :)

    I have a toshiba Satellite C855-2gx
    My problems touchpad lag so much if I install a software or I'm doing something which need to ram (games, defragmentation)

    There is no solution for my problem please :'(

    and sometimes the shift of the pc (keyboard and mouse do not work)

    Sometimes, I noticed the same on machines with low performance. It happens when the drive is extremely busy and portable needs performance for some intensive like defragmentation operations or antivirus scan.

    What you can do about it? In General, you can improve Ram to increase performance of s for laptop and also you can optimize the preinstalled operating system. With optimize I mean you can disable all unnecessary applications and the boot process for your laptop will take care with less background process.
    Also disable the Windows automatic update installation. Use the option check for updates but let me choose...

    I think that you need to upgrade RAM. If you need advice or help with this let us know.

  • NB200 - 10G Touchpad behaves a bit like locking click is on, but is NOT

    Brand new NB200 - 10G. Excellent except for problems touchpad netbook. When you drag a window I expect action slide stop when I lift my finger on the touchpad, but if I have too quickly and then reapply the window continues to slide. If I wait a little longer before reconnecting my finger everything is OK and the window remains where it is. It's like the ClickLock is enabled for a very short time after I lift my finger of the touchpad. But the ClickLock is definitely off.

    I installed the latest driver for ALPS touchpad, which seems to have made more responsive touchpad, fewer delays and "stuttering" others reported but no effect on the above problem.

    I called Toshiba UK computer laptop tech support and they advised me there were NO problems reported with keys to touch on NB200 series netbooks, but I found many reports of problems on the EU Toshiba forums and more us Toshiba forums, strange...

    Any ideas?

    THX, Ken

    All you can do is to reinstall the touchpad driver or reinstall OS. Update BIOS OK can be tested too.
    I mean what else can be done.

    What do you think? I think the case is clear if the error occurs on (Windows and Linux). That's why it of necessary to exchange the motherboard or the touchpad.

    Your laptop must be checked to an authorized service provider. Technicians can determine what is the reason and order all spare parts, they are necessary. Moreover, the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP.

    Aspire e15 (e5-511-p9y3) Touchpad not working not not on windows8.1, and I can use the cursor with a mouse. I also installed the synaptics/elantech drivers but it does not show scrollbar option in the mouse-> device settings.

    SOLUTION

    So guys after a thorough research and troubleshooting, I found that you must keep the opinion of a few things at installation time:

    Installation mode: UEFI (only) - LEGACY would create problems touchpad.

    After the installation of windows just follow the hierarchy of driver installation

    1 Intel NB_Chipset_M Baytrail-M

    2 Intel i/o driver

    then the rest of the shit.

    Note: after doing all this make sure your touchpad is active > Fn + F7

  • T410 - reader of fingerprints and TouchPad failure after closing lid

    Hello world
    I have a ThinkPad T410 Intel Core i7 M620 2.67 GHz, 250 GB HDD, 4 GB of RAM, NVIDIA 3100, Windows 7

    There are two problems with it:
    Number 1: After waking up from sleep mode the fingerprint reader does not work. Type of manual password is required.
    , 2nd edition: At a random time the TouchPad would stop working.

    Question No. 1 is extremely annoying. That happen every time, but often enough to be very bored.
    There are different scenarios that I can describe:
    Scenario 1:     Closing the lid makes the laptop to go to sleep. Opening the lid makes the laptop turn on the screen, but there is a login prompt. At this point the reader to Finerprint is not active more and manual entry of the password is required.

    Scenario 2:     Closing the lid makes the laptop to go to sleep. Opening the cover does nothing. The Green LED on the fingerprint reader is on. Slide the fingerprint reader turns on the laptop. Login screen is displayed and manual password entry is required. Fingerprint reader is not available at this stage.
    Scenario 3: by pressing function + sleep makes the laptop to go to sleep. The Green LED on the fingerprint reader is on. Slide the fingerprint reader turns on the laptop. Login screen is displayed and manual password entry is required. Fingerprint reader is not available at this stage.

    After each scenario I would like to connect manually, and the Fingerprint reader does not work with Password Vault, giving a message that it is not present in the system. After waiting for a while (maybe 15 minutes), the fingerprint reader starts working again.

    At the same time, I had a problem with the TouchPad will not work at a random time.
    He would just stop working from time to time and not work until a reboot of the system.

    I used my super cool NextDay on site warranty (I'm so glad I paid the amount extra - the service is great) to have a guy to come and difficulty a faulty speaker. At the same time, he had inspected the problem of fingerprints. He said that the fingerprint reader and Touchpad are connected to the motherboard by a cable and that it is perhaps the origin of the problem. It came the next day to replace the Touchpad and fingerprints of the reader of the cover of laptop part (all the plastic around the keyboard that you put your wrists on). However, it did not replace the cable that connects the two devices to the motherboard (he said that those who are almost never defective)

    After that I have not once experienced the freezing problem Touchpad. (so far... for 4 days now)
    Fingerprint reader problem has not changed at all. It happens with the same frequency as before the repair.

    I got my system to factory state using the recovery media made the 1st day following purchase. It doesn't change anything.

    If anyone else has experienced this problem and has a solution, please let me know.
    Referring to another forum or topic is also welcome. If I find a solution I'll post it as well.

    Thank you

    AFTER several months of pain, I found a solution to this problem:

    I got rid of this problem by reformatting everything using the original recovery disks.

    I tried this action before, but this time it worked.

    A friend told me that his laptop computer from a different company had a similar problem and found after hours of searching the sequence in which the drivers have been installed on its system had an effect ON the system.

    I'm not saying that this is the case here, but maybe something ' just clicked on '...

    No problem with my FingerprintReader more. I did this action 2-3 weeks ago and I got not a single occurrence of the FingerprintReader error.

    Good luck to all.

  • Behavior erratic mouse/Touchpad on Inspiron 15 5447

    I had my laptop for a little over 4 months. I mainly use a wireless mouse with him... and every so often the mouse will have a mind of your own. I can be typing or even try to use the mouse and it will start to jump around on the screen itself... by selecting things... even of switching/Mobile windows as if buttons are pressed as well. At first I thought that maybe it was interference with the touchpad... so I tried both disable touchpad when external mouse is connected... and disable the touchpad altogether and the problem persists. So I thought that maybe the mouse is the problem, so at some point when he wents nuts on me, I turned it off and opted for the touchpad... but the erratic behavior continues. The only thing I can do about it is to restart... and then things are usually fine for several days before the question starts again. Any thoughts on what the problem maybe, or troubleshooting tips?


    It worked - DELL has a terrible touchpad - there is a hardware ONLY problem affecting the series 3000, 4000, 5000 and 7000.  I bought a protective screen of the dollar for a dollar store, it worked where all software solutions had failed.

      Hello world!

      Like you I had the same problems touchpad. At first, I thought it was ESD and troubleshoot-made for a few days. Finally, I concluded that he had nothing to do with the EDD and passed questions possible pilot. I installed every driver package I could find, modified, off driver signature in order to install OEM drivers, used Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Ubuntu etc... but in vain.

      Early on, some kind of physical problem seems to be the most logical. The question was just what! I couldn't believe that synaptics could do such an aweful touchpad which was incapable of actually at work. I did support arguing that the question must be caused by something small. During my last clean install of Windows 8.1 I noticed that the default windows caused the touchpad driver is EXTREMELY sensitive. You will notice that once you install the latest driver from Dell the cursor movement calms down considerably. The touchpad is still extremely sensitive, the driver is just take the raw input all that and generalizing it in a cursor, easier to manage. Conclusion, the touchpad is too sensitive.

      I compared this premise with my previous experiences and found much support each other. My touchpad would typically be panic after a lot of 2-finger scroll or a large number of movements of gesture.  Indeed, it would stop work entirely if I blew warm breath on her. Conclusion, I need to desensitize the touchpad on and protect... but how!

    In my first attempt, I simply took the touchpad transparent and entirely covered with packing tape. Don't expect anything I ran my finger on it and revealed that the movement of the cursor is estimated much more controllable. I used it for 30 minutes like this with only a few minor problems. (My touchpad STILL freaks out in the first 15 minutes, so for me it was a big deal!) I asked a little more layers of Ribbon downwards and the feature kept getting better and better. Since I was best performance with several layers of tape and because the transparent packing tape is not look glued to your laptop I wanted to find a better solution. I needed a plastic resistant thick that I would stick to the surface of the touchpad and has no need of me to use many of the layers. Conclusion, use plastifieuses 3 m plastic.

    On this second attempt, I disassembled the laptop and removed the touchpad of the palm rest area. I used a tampon Magic Eraser with a little water and very little SOAP to clean the surface of the touchpad. After that it was clean and dry I cut an oversized square piece of plastic lamination and placed the touchpad upside on the sticky side of the plastic. I then took a razor and carefully trimmed the excess by tracing around the edge of the touchpad. The result was a piece perfectly sized plastic on the top of the touchpad. I reinstalled the touchpad in the palmrest and reassembled the computer. (Please note that there is some tape of ground wire to the back of the tablet that should be reapplied during installation.)

    I use it like this for 3 days now with ZERO problems! I hope that Dell takes knowledge from this post and comes up with a real solution. The black surface of the touchpad is itself just plastic glued on the circuit of keys using an adhesive. It seems that the simple solution would be for them to replace it with a more robust piece more thick. One thing I noticed is that the 3 m plastic is tougher than the original surface of the touchpad which makes it difficult to slide your finger over it. When I started my finger continued to jump on the touchpad which caused the cursor to jump around, however after a few hours he smoothed out nicely. You can have better luck using a different plastic as a screen protector of mobile phone since it was designed to have the fingers touch.

    in any case, I really hope that this helped you guys. I was just as grumpy as you on this subject and I still think that Dell OFFICIALLY must do something about this problem! (DELL TAKE NOTE!) In the meantime, I hope this allows you to you guys and running and able to enjoy your laptop once more! Good luck!

    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
    SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
    updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however remember to check
    your antivirus, the main drivers and BIOS update programs and also to solve problems
    with the first method cleanboot.
