Touchpad and some keys not working do not due to static electric shock

This is an unusual problem - maybe someone can shed some light on this, and (especially) thoughts towards fixing the problem would be GREATLY appreciated.

Yesterday, I got my ACER Aspire 1830 t series netbook (Windows 7, 32-bit) and a little shock to receive static electricity - nothing major, exactly as happens when you touch anything with metal (especially in winter?), right. However, it has caused a few problems:

1. first of all it has caused my netbook to a hard cock down.

2. once I rebooted the system, the touchpad did not work.

To restore functionality to the touchpad, I tried the following until now:

  • FN + F7 (toggle to turn on/off the touchpad) - IS NOT WORKING.
  • Reboot - IT DID NOT WORK.
  • Use a wireless mouse - Fortunately, IT works.

3. I was about to try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad when I noticed that some other normal keys have lost a few perfect. For example, I can no longer hold the BACKSPACE key or the arrow keys to a continuous function - they only move a space at a time, so I have to stay here by tapping it again and again.

So far, I are not noticed a problem of corrupted files or programs, so maybe that's more a hardware problem than a problem of driver/software.  Is it possible for static electricity incinerate a wire or something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This baby is only a few months out of warranty...

Thank you very much!

Try to unplug the power, remove the power battery button and press on for 20-30 seconds, it stays for a while and try to turn it back on, I'm not sure if it will solve but worth it.

  • Touchpad and F9 keys stopped working

    The touchpad has stopped working and the F9 key does work more for the touchpad.  How can I fix it?  It's a Toshiba Satellite laptop.  Other F keys still work.  There used to be a drop-down list on the desktop for the F keys, but it doesn't work either.  In the properties of the touchpad driver, disable is grayed out.

    Hello

    Toshiba has also map of keys which allow easy adjustment of the TouchPad. See support for Toshiba

    http://laptopforums.Toshiba.com/

    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.

    Also check the control - Mouse - touchpad settings panel.

    You can also try this:

    You can download but not install the drivers before the the below if you wish.

    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).
    REBOOT - it will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and USB stack. This does not prevent the
    Touchpad work.

    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 website of the manufacturer of system (Toshiba downloads - access your model - listed above)
    and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  • Satellite P100 PSPA3A - Touchpad and function keys not working not

    Hello
    I'm new to the forum so please excuse my lack of computer skills.

    Where my problems began, is that I deleted the driver of my computer keyboard.
    I reinstalled and now works with the exception of the function keys.

    I tried to install Hotkeys out of the Toshiba web site without success. It will not be loaded on the computer for me.
    I also reinstalled "utilities" and in doing so the touch pad mouse has stopped working.

    Is someone able to offer, for me, what should I do to fix this?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help.
    Sam

    I never heard of a keyboard driver deleting, but if some of your buttons work so I think the software is very good. It may be a loose keyboard connector is loose, which is located under your keyboard around the buttons 'Fred '.

    I return the phone to the place of purchase and get them to fix it. Less pain for you and an easy solution. Keep it simple, everyone!

    Good luck.

  • 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.

    (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.

  • My Acer Aspire V - 123 Windows 8 keeps freezing and some keys on the keyboard are not working

    I'm currently using a netbook ACER ASPIRE V - 123 with Windows 8 as its operating system and it is not yet updated to 8.1.

    At first when my computer laptop while boots 'seems' to agree, and whenever I try to open a file without any content it took me about 30-45 seconds, opening a program would take me almost 45 seconds to a minute, and I think that something is not right with my laptop and when I try to open a website via my web browser and my laptop would just FREEZE and I can't do anything about it , but I hate to do HARD reset. And to add to this unfortunate scenario is that some of the keys on my keyboard are not working the letters like R, T, I, O and backspace and many others (which I don't remember exactly one by one).

    I try to read some forums on different sites and some posts to the community of MS and did several tests like starting in SAFE MODE w / NETWORKING and downloaded the software like MALWAREBYTES to find potential infections, but nothing found. I also did the start-up in MINIMAL MODE, but again, the situation was the same, but when I'm the boot without failure the filling and freezing are only decrease and I don't want always starts in mode safe.

    From now my laptop is booting in a start-up in MINIMAL MODE and I don't know what to do next, what to try next. I hope someone could lead me to the solution to this problem, I would be eternally GRATEFUL.

    Please do help me in a step by step process and if possible please guide me with pictures or screenshots because I prefer to learn things when I Visual effects on what to do.

    Thanks for patiently reading this post.

    Hi Ben,

    Sorry for the late reply, the laptop has been fixed, it seems to be a hardware problem. We disconnected the connection of the keyboard to the laptop right now I use an external keyboard to type. Cannot afford now to buy and replace my laptop keyboard, the graphics card Driver has been updated also and I've reformatted the OS

    The gel did not appear more in the normal boot and if all goes well for work this way for good.

    Thanks for the information you have shared to me, he has also been a great help.

    until next time Ben!

    Best regards

  • MBP 15 "Early 2011: some keys not working not

    Hello Experts,

    I'm on a MacBook Pro 15 "early 2011 10.11.3 on OS X El Capitan.

    Now, some keys on my keyboard doesn't work anymore, only F1 - F9 (F10 - F12 still works fine) and the right SHIFT key.

    I read some other threads about this here, tried SMC-reset, reset PRAM, no change at all. (After reset the SMC he worked shortly, but after about 15 minutes even error.)

    FN + F1 - F9 does not either.

    Also, I checked my console to find errors, that's what I get when I press F1/F2.

    ATTENTION: assert (-1! = internal) failed in the function-[DeviceGammaContext isInternal]: 2096 in file /Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/AmbientDisplay/AmbientDisplay-58/Sources/ DeviceGammaContext.m

    This error no longer appears.

    I have to say, I got my Logicboard exchanged 1 week ago by an Apple Technician due to the graphic problem common with the older MBP.

    Can it be a coincidence? It has something to do with the keys without work?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Chyllie

    EDIT: There was no liquid spilled on the keyboard, or something similar, also when I plug in an external keyboard (non-apple) the right shift is working on it and also the buttons Play/Forward.

    It was a bad connection to the logicboard, for all who have the same problem!

  • Qosmio X 300 - touchpad and mouse do not work

    After that I was recently reinstall antivirus, something was wrong here and at some point cursor stopped on the screen without moving. Touchpad or mouse worked. I tried to restart the laptop several times... but the result was the same - keyboard worked, but the touchpad and mouse not. Although I'm not an expert in using only the keyboard I managed to open the control panel-> devices (where I can see the marks of attention in front of pointing device (I guess that its touchpad) and mouse.)

    The problem is that the keyboard works I don't know how pointer on them to restart drivers for them or something like that. The problem may seem stupid, but I really beg for help or advice because I am currently overseas and can not bring my laptop to any service.

    Hello

    I recommend the touchpad power feature.
    You can enable and disable the touchpad by pressing FN + F9

    Does the touchpad?

    It would also be possible that your system is confused until so you can try to put the OS up to this early time.

    Click on start-> all programs-> Accessories-> system-> system restore tools

    Then you should be able to restore the operating system
