Satellite Pro C660 - Synaptic Touchpad pinch zoom partially does not work

Hey there,

The laptop I have is a satellite pro C660 2I. I've had my laptop for a year (ish) now, and he always had this 'problem '.

The touchpad has the ability to "pinch" which allows the user to zoom in or out using 2 digits on the touchpad (i.e. move the fingers together to zoom out).

Unfortunately, the touchpad recognises 2 figures as being present when I use only one finger, but only when I use the right side (or two-thirds of the pad from the right).

This made me think that maybe he was dirty, greasy etc so I cleaned and nothing has changed. I tried to uninstall the driver, reinstall / update... nothing. The strange thing is that it seems to work for approx. 1 second after I apply pressure to the left hand side in a movement of friction and then use the right side. This leads me to believe that the left side is * being constantly recognized as in use even when it is not *, but I don't know why.

I do that anyone can recommend?
Open the laptop and clean it?
A component failed to be replaced? A software update?

I'm at my wits end with this laptop, and this is the only problem... is so constant now that the pad is almost unusable (deepened over time, but it wasn't a big deal at first).

Thanks in advance,
Griff

NOTE: If there are all the technical information required, please treat me like a cave man / technological invalid. I am somewhat qualified but I would rather patronisingly simple instructions as sending unnecessary information to those who are trying to help me lose some time.

Perhaps your question describes isn't related to a dysfunction of the touchpad, but on the fact that the touchpad supports the dual mode functionality.

+ How do I enable or disable the Touchpad double mode +.

Check if there is a difference with the touchpad on or off dual

    Maybe your allowed some ghost image parameters that are not supported by satellite Pro A100 or missing some drivers SATA or IDE!

    It seems in any case, there is nothing wrong with the Toshiba laptop. All functions using the Toshiba Recovery CD. Created your new image is not 100% good!

  • Satellite Pro A-153 C50: F11 function key does not work

    The F11 key where I can spend the sound power switch does not work!
    The other keys work correctly.

    Everyone knows how to restore its function?

    Hello

    You use the special function or Standard F1 - F12?
    The special mode of operation allows you to use special features without pressing the FN key.
    This means that if the special function mode, you must press only F11 to turn the sound on and off. In the case of special function mode is off, you must press FN + F11 to turn the sound on and off.

    You can enable or disable the special function mode in:
    Office-> Office help (in the task bar)-> tools & utilities-> function key

    But I wonder if the F11 key works with other software?
    For example: pressing F11 key while using the Internet browser (internet explore) should allow mode full-screen. You can check this?

    Keyboard F11 key is maybe defective and so the sound ON / Off function does not work

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 - 13G: software uninstalled - FN keys do not work

    The other day I uninstalled many programs standard of his Toshiba Satellite U400 - 13G, because it has been very slow in implementing.
    But now I realized that his FN hotskeys does not work.

    I tried to look in the support forum and the list of drivers, but I can't find the answer.

    So the question is what program/driver should I install to get the keyboard shortcuts to work again. It is running vista 32 bit.

    Best looks Anders vangsgaard

    Hello

    Well buddy. For the future I'll give you a tip ;)
    Never remove any parts/software if you n t know what they are for ;)

    The Satellite Pro U400 - 13G seems belongs to the PSU45E series.
    Choose this model number to download driver form Toshiba Europe.
    Then download the package of value added.

    To reinstall this PPV you will need to remove the preinstalled old VAP.
    Do it and after rebooting again to install the new downloaded package added value.

    In my view, that the FN buttons should then work.

  • Key satellite L510-S401-touchpad FN and F9 does not work under win xp

    Toshiba user,

    I have recently purchase a toshiba Satellite L510-S401and I install windows xp
    and my problem does not have the FN key. I have install all the drivers that I think useful, but still does not work...

    If anyone has had a driver for Satellite L510-S401, that works with Windows XP, please contact me with the help of this thread.

    Yours sincerely.

    Hello

    It is not easy to help. I don't know in which country you bought this laptop and where to look for drivers.
    The fact is that the FN + F9 key combination works if utility to toggle the Touchpad is installed.
    Have you checked Toshiba support for this tool page?
    Which page you have downloaded all the drivers for Windows XP Home edition?

  • Re: Satellite L655 - the Touchpad on/off button does not work

    This morning, I noticed that the power button of the touchpad of my Satellite does not, although the Fn + F9 key combination works by enabling and disabling my touchpad.

    It was working well until what I slept last night when I woke up, my laptop has rebooted due to updates of Windows during the night. I don't read anything since I have been using a wireless mouse. Then reach work and check if I can activate my touchpad (Windows has loaded and connected), the display screen that shows if the touchpad is active or not does not appear and my touchpad, power button does not work.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Is this problem only you?
    I mean it's not so important, and I would not reinstall or change anything because of this.
    Until you can use the FN + F9 key combination I put t think it's a serious problem.

    What do you think of this?

  • Satellite L300D - installed XP and now my wifi does not work

    I spent from Vista to XP and now my wifi does not work. I was told that I don't have the drivers.
    Can someone help me? I have a Satellite L300D-01N. Please help me, I don't know much about this kind of stuff.

    Thank you

    You can download drivers Toshiba from here: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    There is however no driver XP for the L300D. But I found a LAN driver for XP wireless that would work.

    Select:
    Laptop
    Satellite Pro
    Satellite Pro L series
    Satellite Pro L300

    Download and install
    -Wireless Lan Driver Realtek Semiconductor Corporation Windows XP 6.1116.1226.2007

    If this does not work, you can have an Atheros Wireless LAN card. If this is the case, look at the other models for an Atheros Wireless LAN Driver XP.

  • Satellite L350 - 146 PSLD0E - common modul with XP does not work

    My problem is exactly the same as Gigels, except my Toshiba is not model Canadian but TOSHIBA EUROPE GMBH.

    My Toshiba is
    L350-146
    PSLD0E-00V00TF3

    The diver of common Modules does not work.
    How it does not work is because when I try to install Toshiba controls it tells me that "TOSHIBA common Modules is not installed on your computer. I can go on, but it does not (obviously). I've tried versions 1.00.05, 1.00.08 (both of which are on the European driver from Toshiba site) and none of them work.
    After you have installed one of them I get this message from PowerSaver: 'TOSHIBA common Modules does not run correctly. You can use TOSHIBA Power Saver. »

    * Please help me, it is obvious that a lot of people have same problem.*

    Hello

    If so many people have the same problem, I wonder why your assignment is almost 5 days without any comment about it.

    In any case, I put t know what is the problem but the fact is that all the drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in a specific order.

    After installing Windows XP SP2 home edition, you must install stuff like this:
    WINDOWS XP HOME SP2
    Driver Chipset
    Display driver
    Audio driver
    Driver modem
    Flash media driver
    Common modules
    LAN driver
    Touchpad driver
    Enabling/disabling the touchpad utility

    And so on.

    Common modules must be installed before you install any other Toshiba tool or utility. Common modules is something as a basis for all other tools and utilities.

    Energy-saving install almost to the end.
