Satellite M50A - ELAN touchpad stopped working - again!

Do not forget this recent thread?

https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread...topped-working

Well guess what that my mouse and touch pad stopped working again today, this time during a Windows Update (and not after) - and guess what... the 'momentum - other hardware - MOMENTUM Input Device"was one of the updates, as well as the last time.

The good news, for me, anyway, is that this time the problem was temporary. After forcing a restart by a long press on the power button, mouse and touchpad has been restored after finishing installing updates.

EDIT - just to say that my touchpad customizations for example reverse scroll direction, 3 finger tap to start the browser etc were all lost. Not much, just a nuisance

And as a follow-up, after you change the registry to restore the functionality to launch my favorite browser with a finger 3 press on (see another thread for reason of why I had to use regedit) I've had intermittent results.

Now, I realized that the 3 finger 'press' feature seems to have disappeared to be replaced by a '3 fingers' touch. It is not documented that I can see, the registry key names remained the same, but pressing done nothing at all works a 3 persistent finger touch.

  • Re: Satellite L300 series - Touchpad stops working

    I have aan L300 series Satellite. On booting, the touchpad works fine until I get the workstation, after which the tap function ceases to work. The touchpad works to distribute me to move the mouse around the screen and buttons work, but the touchpad to stop tapping function run once the machine started upward (it seems to work for about the first 30 seconds).

    This happened recently, but I can't put my finger exactly when.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and we tried Fn F9. Is this a bug of Windows, a Toshiba or some other glitch glitch?

    Help, please!

    You should check the touchpad settings like Jurgo wrote. You can find it in Control Panel > mouse. Make sure that typing is enabled, otherwise look will not work correctly.

  • Satellite L500D PSLT6A - FN keys and touchpad stopped working

    I have a Satellite L500D, model PSLT6A-015003, windows 7 (32 bit) notebook and the keys FN and the touchpad stopped working.

    I downloaded from download of Toshiba, the touch pad and the FN key downloads page, but nothing works.

    Can someone tell me please how to get this working again, even if it's only the touchpad.

    Flash cards are controlled by the utility of Flash cards and this utility is part of the Toshiba value added package. If this package is installed on your machine it remove the system, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba download page.

    Please also follow option:
    Open the settings of flash cards and set the option to allow the mouse to make the maps and test if it works.

    Please check the touch pad properties. Check if the touchpad is properly listed and enabled in the device (mouse and other pointing devices) Manager.

    Second thing you must check is the control panel > mouse > device (last tab) settings. Make sure that the Synaptics touchpad is listed here and it is not disabled.
    As last step make sure touchpad is not disabled with the combination of FN keys (if possible).

  • Satellite C650 - sound suddenly stopped working

    Hello.

    I bought this laptop the month last November.
    in any case, around a week or two ago, the noise suddenly would not work.

    He started making strange noises when I put in the headphones and speakers just made no noise at all never.
    I did a lot of weird things - like system restore, reinstall audio drivers but nothing worked until I updated the bios, then everything went well and the sound worked again.

    However, today, the sound suddenly stopped working again. I tried to re - install the current bios but InsydeFlash says: "the version of the ROM file is the same BIOS version" and just closes.

    I searched the internet for an older version of the bios, but when I try to install it, InsydeFlash said: 'the version of the ROM file is not newer than the version of the BIOS' and of course, I know that but then it closes too!

    I'm not really good at computers or anything, any help at all would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I recommend checking some options first;
    -check if mute is not activated
    -check if all the volume controls are set to a higher value
    -check if the sound using headphones

    If this is not successful, you must reinstall the audio driver.
    First go to Device Manager and uninstall the audio driver. Restart the device
    Download the audio driver from the Toshiba page, then reinstall it. Reboot once again and test the sound.

  • Satellite L850 - webcam suddenly stopped working

    The web cam on my Satellite L850 has suddenly stopped working.

    It does not appear in Device Manager;
    I downloaded the latest driver on the Toshiba site;
    I checked the BIOS and the web cam is turned on;
    Always when I open the web cam application I get the following message:

    "webcam initialization failed Please restart request and camera control.

    I scoured the advice forum and short of a return to the top and reboot disk HARD, I find no reasonable answer. I can't back up as I am away from home is out of the question. I need web conference call cam / call my family to the United Kingdom back.

    Tired of going round in circles and getting nowhere.

    Any suggestions?

    Even if you have not changed the settings in the BIOS, you must Access the BIOS to make sure that the webcam is turned on it!

    I also recommend the suite of this workaround:
    Uninstall the webcam software
    Uninstall the VAP
    Uninstall all software needed the webcam (Skype, etc...)
    Now, restart and install CCLeaner (cleaning of freeware software)
    Reboot once more.
    Run CCleaner and clean the system and the registry.
    Reset
    Now follow with installation of VAP
    Reset
    Install the webcam software
    Reset
    Test webcam.

    Good luck
