Ramdom freeze of Toshiba ALPS touchpad on Satellite P30 - 135

Hi all

I own a Toshiba P30-135.

I experience the temporary freezing of the TOUCHPAD from time to time.

During freeze the mouse cursor cannot be moved for 30 seconds to a few minutes.

Gel occurs randomly, at least once a week, often once a day.

The latest driver available on the Toshiba site is installed.

Installing the software is clean without suspicious software, spyware and viruses (I'm a COMPUTER security specialist)

I've read about the two different stories from web:

1. it's due to an electrostatic problem, and it is necessary to change the top cover on some models. However, on mine, the display had to be changed recently by Toshiba maintenance and they have changed the top cover, too, (which was corroded by sweat). The problem occurred before the interview and again after the interview.

2. it is a 'normal' process by which software readjusts the mouse settings. I never found something Toshiba on this subject. However, I have never seen any PC any gel brand minutes before, and I can't find it normal as it can freeze during the phases critical.

Does anyone have information on this problem? and / or any information on how to disable the "auto-adjust" function if it is true and consequences? All standard driver able to replace without service?

Thank you very much!

Hello

I ve had the same problem like you sometimes on my machine (Tecra S5). Since I often use the touchpad, that happens during work and it s very boring.

What I ve discovered was that my hands are sweating when I hit some longer documents, sweat adheres to the surface of the touchpad and generates a kind of layer that prevents the cushion to get the 'touch' of my fingers.
After cleaning the touchpad gently with a kitchen not aggressively cleaning, it works like a charm and ceases to block for a few weeks until it s again. I think that humans cannot disable perspiration as a background Windows process. Would be interesting if you could check this, clean your pad and report if the pad works after cleaning.
It is also sometimes a good reason to clean the whole machine periodically sweat, debris and dust. (Don t forget the vents of the cooling system ;))
It s like the cleaning of your apartment, just keep clean and prevent some big SH *. :)

Welcome them

  • Satellite U400 - 150 (PSU45E) - ALPS touchpad problem

    Hello

    I am trying to solve some problems with the touchpad. My PSU45E Toshiba U400-150 was fitted in ALPS touchpad (synaptics, which is much better from day instead).

    Previously I worked on another laptop to factory with Synaptics and software that he had advanced options, better than the ALPS.

    1. when I use ALPS driver that the coursor movement seems to be "nervous", do not help the traffic regulations. So I uninstalled the driver ALPS, Synaptisc and the movement has been widely. However, the Synaptics software had any advanced options (such as the areas of contact, scroll, etc.). So I restored the ALPS driver, once again, and returned "jumpy" movement. I assume that the driver is not as good as synaptics.

    2 I need in fact for the middle button emulation. In synaptisc, there was this option in the "contact areas". I was using the upper right corner for the emulation of the middle button of the mouse. I was looking for such an option in the ALPS driver, but there is none.

    I woud be gratefull for any sollutions, suggestions about the issue 1 and 2. Is it possible to emulate the middle button of the mouse in the ALPS?

    TIA.

    I have a touchpad Alps on my Tecra and its very good, so maybe you just need to update the driver Alps?

    Take advantage of a touchpad with tap with two fingers to right click! The way it should be good from the beginning. Most other manufacturers seems funny to do things... Wonder... Or is - this just pure ignorance of Lenovo? This is one of those very small seemingly insignificant things that have a huge impact on the user experience... (!)

  • U31-70 Alps touchpad - how to allow two-finger tap "right-click"?

    Hello

    I have a problem with the Alps touchpad in the U31. I would like to bring up the contextual (right click menu) with a tap two fingers on the touchpad, but everything simply, nothing happens. In the options 2 finger Alps touchpad click fires and the small sample animation clearly shows how a tap two fingers works as a right click.

    I'm pritty sure this is a software / driver issue, but I have installed v8.201.1611.250 and no new version seems to be available.

    Anyone else had this problem or knows how to solve?

    Hey spidey101,

    Thanks for your help! Remove and reinstall the drivers of the ALPS do not solve my problem, so I kept on looking and fortunately found a solution in this post:

  • ALPS touchpad works do not correctly with Windows 8 dm4-2070us

    I upgraded to Windows 7 to Windows 8 on my laptop dm4-2070us, and now I have more use of gestures or scrolling on the Alps touchpad. The left and right buttons work and I can move the cursor anywhere on the screen, but that's all. Everything else seems to work fine. I can't find drivers anywhere for the Alps touchpad for Windows 8. All the world has noticed what is happening? I hope that a new driver will soon be developed but not optimistic. Any suggestions out there?

  • Windows XP Home unable to start on Satellite P30

    Hello

    I use WinXP-H on a Satellite P30 (7 years).
    The screen died earlier, so I have been using an external monitor, but it's a problem for another time.

    A few days ago Windows has been updated. After all 4hours, it restarted itself - do not know if it has finished to day I was away from my office. Windows did not start, just hung on black screen boot WinXp.

    I turned off with the power button, left for a while and tried to restart. The first, a few times I could access the screen "Safe Mode, last known good Config etc" with F8, but he only got to Windows once, where it froze.

    At the start, only the F2 & F12 keys work now (for the blue BIOS screen and boot options). Tent to start HD causes not normal clicking noises then the "a disk error occurred. CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart message. " I tried to use the Toshiba Recovery disk, but it seems that you wipe the files left on the hard disk, even if she managed to reinstall Windows.

    I had saved most of my files, but there are some that I had not succeeded in yet, so I would try to keep them. Forums, it seems that there are several possible solutions:

    1. start from the restore disc Toshiba to format the HD and maybe recover some of the files later with file recovery software.
    2. get an installation of WinXP-H disc, which seems to have a recovery program.
    3. remove the HD and connect it to another computer to delete my files. I'm not experienced by removing computers, but would give it a go, if it was the best option.

    Soon, any advice appreciated.
    Al

    In my opinion the easiest way to access the HARD disk is to connect it as external drive to the other PC.
    Removing the disc HARD is not so complicated that you can do it alone. If you need help with him let us know.

    What you need is the external IDE HDD case. You can buy it on ebay and it is cheap.

    In the end I have to say that I think that the HARD drive is faulty, maybe only some sectors do not work and thereby Windows gets stuck on some steps.

    I had this old Satellite it there a long time, in red. It is a very nice machine with its fabulous. :)

  • Satellite P30 and Windows 2000...

    Please, please, please... help me solve my nightmare!

    I tried all ways to install Windows 2000 on my satellite P30. All software and drivers are updated (service pack 4, dx9, lastes drivers, etc), but...

    When the installation of the white screen of graphic Ati drivers (ati 9700) appears and it crash (as shown in the previous topic: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=4136&messageID=13825#13825 - I want to reopen that walk but is locked)

    The problem is that I have great experience in the software/hardware and I have installed all drivers (drivers omega, satellite m30x drivers, drivers ati, different drivers manufactured, ecc.) but the problem STILL persists.

    I'm going to give up, but before that I would like to know, if someone here in this forum has solved this problem or if anyone really expert could suggest me other ways to install windows 2000 on this computer?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Nick is quite right. W2000 is not officially supported for this model of laptop, and you won't find a graphics card driver on Toshiba download site. I assume that you have installed the driver from ATI directly download site. In this case there is no guarantee that it will work properly.

    Sorry

  • Satellite A300D-135 - BIOS - System Configuration data read error

    After starting a Satellite A300D-135 laptop computer, the following error message appears:


    3070M extended RAM passed
    512 KB of L2 Cache
    System BIOS with a shadow
    Video BIOS with a shadow
    ATAPI CD-ROM: TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-L632H
    Fixed disk 0: TOSHIBA MK2546GSX
    Initialized the mouse
    ERROR
    System Configuration data read error

    Press to resume, installation

    After pressing F1 the machine starts Windows, very well, but the error message is quite irritating, while it comes with a loud BEEP

    I tried the following things so far (in that particular order):
    -Load BIOS default
    -Flashed the BIOS with the latest version of the BIOS (2.80) for this type of model
    -Reinstalled windows with HARD drive format

    All the these did not work.

    I saw the same message appearing on several places on the internet (on different laptops with a Phoenix BIOS in common), but so far I have not been able to find a working solution.

    It might me a hardware problem, but all devices (vga, soiund, lan, wifi, usb, hdd) seem to work perfectly under Windows, so this does not seem the question). Another solution that is mentioned in some forums, replace the battery. But because the phone keeps time correctly I don't think it's the case either.

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    The POST (power on self-test) BIOS checks and detects errors on the motherboard.
    I think it has something to do with the hardware on the motherboard problem.
    I doubt that you can solve this if update of the BIOS and the BIOS default settings didn't change that.

    What to say; I think that the technician of the ASP should run tests to check what's wrong or what cause this I think it is question of s mobo.

  • Satellite P750-135 - key FN and Blu - Ray player does not

    OK so recently I've noticed a few problems with my Satellite P750-135 with PSAY3E-059002EN part number.

    Not words, the button FN done any work, however when the Toshiba flash card settings are configured to enable the mouse above, the functions that I would normally use, for example FN + ESC to mute or FN + F6 to turn down the brightness, etc., the works of service.

    The problem has occurred since the drivers updated by a program on my PC but I can not restore the system to a point where the driver has been updated. I uninstalled the driver and installed the driver from Toshiba Web site and tried countless other things without success. Any help would be appreciated.

    As for my second question, a while back I tried to play a Blu - Ray movie on my laptop and it works as it is. The drive plays DVD but when a Blu - Ray drive is inserted, the drive whirs, the AutoPlay window opens with no program to read it.

    I have tried opening the Corel to play it, but it does not work.
    The drive in question works on my One Xbox and Playstation 3, and I've tried other discs that don't work.

    Any suggestions?

    ccYou know that's not easy to say what the problem is here. When you get new notebook with the settings everything works and all the pre-installed drivers, tools and utilities work well together.
    Many people install some updates which are not so important, and then something can go in the wrong direction.
    > The problem has occurred for a program on my PC updated drivers...
    To be honest I don't know what program do you have average and exactly what has been updated.
    In any case you can try to solve this problem of FN keys is to remove preinstalled Toshiba value added package, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Utility of flash cards is part of this package and I hope after installation of VAP own this will work properly again.

    Blu - Ray movie question:
    BD BD to play drive before graphic driver will change color and switch to Win7 basic running drive Toshiba BD is not compatible with certain Visual elements. Have you noticed this in the past, this automatic switching between the color schemes?
    Did you perhaps updated original display driver Toshiba?
    > I have tried opening the Corel to play it, but it does not work.
    The very fact of start or not?
    This is a bit complicated.
