Satellite M40X-189 - Touch Pad has stopped working

The touchpad has frozen. I rebooted the computer and the touchpad worked. This happened several times, and then by restarting does not clear the problem. I checked in the device several times Manager and sometimes the mouse was listed and sometimes it wasn't! I restored the computer to an earlier time when the touchpad was working but it does not solve it. An Agent from Toshiba offers the soft ware was corrupted and I need to save every thing and use the recovery disk to reload the software for the tablet. I'm not ready to do it again. Currently an ALPS pointing device and a compatible mouse HID are listed in Device Manager, and both are erroneously reported as working. Any other ideas on how to fix the touch pad?

Hello

In my opinion, you should try to use an external mouse to see if it works again and again. Believe me on this path it is not easy to say why this happens.

There may be a hardware problem, but it must be tested. If you preinstall the unit with recovery CD unit will be clean and on this path, it is not possible to say that some additional software has any influence on that.

  • Satellite Z830-10U - Touch Pad has stopped working

    I have been using a USB mouse for a few weeks and touchpad is still operational. A few days ago the touchpad has stopped working. No issues are raised in the device manager that told me the power switch for the touchpad buttons. But by pressing the dedicated button and fn F9 has not changed anything.

    Really confused, but think I'm missing something really obvious that I can not think an event trigger, so assuming that some magic button will bring the key back to life.

    All help gratefully received...

    Hello

    What happens if you disconnect the USB mouse?
    You can use the touchpad again?

    From my point of view, the use or installation of an external USB mouse has affected the touchpad feature, I can't say with certainty why and what is happening right here, but I read in various forums on similar problems and sometimes caused USB mouse use touchpad problems.

    For example: in my case the touchpad does not work with connected USB mouse I was very confused, but found a solution in my case the option disable touchpad when USB mouse is connected has been verified and this disabled the touchpad.

    You can find it here:
    Control Panel-> mouse-> last (Advanced) tab-> the Advanced Settings button

    One of my friends couldn't use the touchpad because it has been disabled in the BIOS.

  • Satellite L510-S432 - Touch Pad has stopped working

    Hi all.

    I bought this laptop last 2 weeks, it works well at first.

    It was once I rebooted the system to reduce some startup programs through msconfig, the touchpad doesn't work. Before the restart, there is a tool bar showing on top there whenever door - press the 'Fn' and now he gone too.
    However, the function "Fn" still work, where I still can control the brightness, the numeric keypad, and etc. through the fair. Fn Fn + F9 key that usually turn on/off the touchpad does not work.

    I had reinstalled the synaptic driver, but still, it did not work. I had activated back all system startup that I had to close, it still does not.
    I try to restore the system, but failed.

    Need help, thanks first to all who help.

    Hello!

    To me it sounds like that, the touchpad is simply disabled with FN + F9 and you will need to activate it.

    I assume that you are using Windows Vista, then you need to reinstall the Toshiba value added Package. You can find it on the Toshiba site. This package is required for the FN keys and other special functions.
    But before installing the new version, you need to remove the old version first.

    An interesting thing: you wrote this system restore failed. What exactly do you have and do you have an error message?

    Good bye

  • Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

    Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. At the start of the keypad icon touch shows and the touchpad works intermittently, after a few minuets, the icon disappears and the touch pad stops working. In the control panel / mouse & or device drive I can how the program works, then disappears.

    I deleted the software and reinstalled nothing doesn't. In some cases, I get a message that a pointer is on.

    Can you help me?

    Hello

    It seems that the wireless mouse or mouse wireless drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
    I put t have a good solution for this problem. Well, you can consult the page of the Toshiba driver for latest driver updates. If the updates doesn't solve this problem I suggest to use either the mouse wireless and disable the touchpad with FN + F9 key combination or use a regular USB mouse.
    I guess that you are having regular problems with a USB mouse.

  • Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

    Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
    These things are not normally suddenly?

    Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

    Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

  • Scrolling touch pad has stopped.

    Scrolling touch pad has stopped working when you slide your finger upwards & downwards the edge on the right side, what could be wrong?

    Hello

    Control Panel - mouse - look for the TouchPad settings - mine is on the device settings tab
    and yours may be different (it is NOT the Scrollings tab which is for the mouse). On some
    You can enable and disable the scroll and/or the size of the area and the sensitivity of the value
    the touchpad.

    Some will have a TouchPad progam/control icon in the Notification area near the clock-
    at the bottom right.

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there probably
    are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

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

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB.

    Here is the similar procedure in XP, Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific
    device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Jeroen,

    I think that your problem is related to overheating rather than a defective display driver. The idea here is that it takes several attempts to reboot, giving the unit time to cool.
    I suggest that you try to remove all dust and debris from your radiator and see if it improves the stability of your units.

    You can download a copy of your display driver of: -.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - Windows XP has stopped working - registry problems

    My M70 lost (I will follow soon!). Windows XP has stopped working, registry problems. I finished by using the Toshiba Recovery disk and reformat the hard disk. Said again there is some registry problems and crashing.

    One had similar problems?

    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    If your laptop is always report registry errors after having re-installed the operating system from the recovery disc, then it is likely that your hard drive has errors. The Windows XP registry is composed of several files (or urticaria), and the installation process will always be located in the same area of the hard drive.

    Hello

    If the reinstallation of the system with the recovery CD does not help, then it is not a software problem.
    This means that some hardware component is defective.
    In this case, you need to take your laptop to the service.

  • Satellite Pro L20: Adapter WLan has stopped working and will not allow

    Hello

    I have a L20 Pro Satalite, which works very well. However, just before Christmas 2006, the adapter wireless (Atheros AR5005G) has stopped working.

    Windows XP Pro SP2 can see the adapter and network connections shows as being activated, but he sees not all networks.

    The Atheros Client Utility says that the adapter pases troubleshooting TI test diagnosis up to the Radio, when he says that the Radio is disabled and must be enabled in the Client utility.

    'Excellent!', I thought: opening the utility forward. Looked in the Action menu to find "turn on the Radio" is greyed out!

    Help!

    Any help is very welcome.

    See you soon,.

  • My HP Envy touch screen has stopped working after an update of the HP Bios yesterday

    Can someone tell me please how to fix my touch screen. I got an HP BIOS update which caused my touch screen to stop working. I tried to re - calibrate the it, but it does not accept my contact telling me that the screen is no longer enabled.

    I tried to find where to turn them on and couldn't find where to enable touch of the finger. I also tried looking for driver updates and driver seems to be up-to-date.

    Thank you

    I have another type of TouchSmart, but this may work for you:

    1. Press Windows + X logo (if you are using a Windows computer 8 - If Windows 7, click the Start button, type Device Manager and click on Device Manager in the results of research).
    2. Select Device Manager from the list.
    3. Click on the small arrow next to Interface devices to expand the list.
    4. Click the touchscreen driver (in my case, Voltron NextWindow touch screen).
    5. Right click and select Activate from the list.
    6. Click Yes if a dialog box asks if you are sure you want to activate the touch screen driver.

    On some models, it is unclear which device in the checklist of the touch screen. I read in other posts that some people have solved the problem by disabling and then re-enabling each device.

    If this does not work, you could try to go to hp.com (http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html) and click on driver downloads &.
    In the search field, enter your product name or number, and then click OK. Select your operating system from the drop down list under Select your operating system, and then click Next. If there is no graphic driver available under Select a download below, click on the plus sign next to the driver - graphics, and then click the name of the driver. In the information and download options window, click Download. Follow the instructions on the screen to download the driver. Restart the computer.
