    I have laptop (hp probook 4520 s), the touchpad does not work. How can I turn it back on it?

    This is a question which would probably respond by HP support, because it isn't really a Windows problem.

    Are you sure that the touchpad is not just turned off? Many laptops have switches, power switch, so you can rest your palm while typing one is not worry by pressing the key.

    Sometimes, there is a button above the key, a key on the Ko, or some have a stain on the pavement you waiting/tap/double tap/etc. to toggle the pad.

    If not, you could try to go on the site of HP and DOWNLOAD/reinstall assistance the SW for the touch pad.

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

    It's my generic how updates of appropriate driver: you mainly want to update or reinstall the touchpad drivers
    and ALSO to get the Toshiba value added Package for your version IF it is there.

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can contact the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country, your hardware is defective.
    But you should first check if its hardware problem.

    First of all, you should check if the touchpad (pointing device) is enabled in the BIOS
    Press F2 during the powering of the device and go to the Advanced tab-> the system setup
    You will find the touchpad power option.

    If the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS, I recommend to check the touchpad system settings: Control Panel-> mouse-> last (Advanced) tab-> Advanced button

    Last but not least you should recover the laptop to test the device with factory settings.
    If all these tips would not be successful success, well, then I recommend to ask the guy to service

    I use Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS Pangolin specific to this topic, but the touchpad does not work so well.

    How can I get the right drivers for the touchpad?

    How do I know if the touchpad is Synaptics or ALPS, so I can get the correct drivers?

    Thank you!

    As you probably know Toshiba does not support Linux and does not offer Linux drivers.
    All about you Googling can find many Linux forums. Try to find useful information here. I mean you can exchange your experiences with other people who are fans of Linux and experts, so I assume that you can get help here.

    Satellite A350 Touchpad does not work ok (unstable system and left button not loaded).

    I tried to make the driver but nothing. No problem drivers (conf system). I have the driver for the touchpad stroped and with an external mouse everything is working properly.

    What should I do? Don't you think it's hard or soft the problem. * The touchpad is NEVER worked.*

    Thank you, and sorry for my bad English. :-(

    Hello!

    The touchpad does appear in Device Manager or you have here yellow exclamation points?

    Like Akuma says you can enable or disable the touchpad with FN + F9 key combination.
    Did you check that?

    In the worst cases, you must go to an ASP. It seems to be a hardware malfunction, and this must be checked by a technician of the laptop. Here, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • My touchpad does not work well on Satellite C55-A-1ND

    For several days my touchpad does not work well. It has nothing to do with the power touchpad button on the F5 key.

    The touchpad is most time does not and something a bit but I can't use the touchpad at all now.

    When I attach my external mouse on my laptop I can use my laptop otherwise I can't use my laptop.
    I already rebooted my laptop several times, but it helps not at all.

    I hope someone can help me!

    You said that this issue has nothing to do with the touchpad on/off function s.
    So what's exactly wrong with the touchpad? Is he disabled or enabled?

    Have you checked the settings in the control panel-> mouse-> last (device settings) tab-> settings button?

    Have you already tried to reinstall the software/driver for touchpad?
    If this is not the case, do.

    By the way: what model of laptop and what system you have?

    My touchpad does not work...

    Can someone please help
    It is so boring.

    I can't download the update of the driver as I'll have to use the kindle to find help,
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,

    Thank you.

    What happened exactly, or what exactly makes you in the past, until this problem happens?

    First of all, please post some details on your laptop model and the system you are using.

    Then check if your touchpad isn't disabled.
    To enable or disable the touchpad, you can use the function key. It depends on the laptop model. Either use the FN + F9 (F9) or FN + F5 (F5)

    In case this does not work you need to connect a USB mouse, just to be able to reinstall the driver for the touchpad, but to be honest, I t will think his problem of the touchpad driver.

  • Satellite P300D - touchpad does not work

    I have a Satellite P300D-131 with Windows 7 64 bit. The touchpad does not work.

    Activation with Fn + F9 has no effect. The device manager says that the device is functioning.
    Who knows the reason? Could be a driver problem.

    Where can I get a driver appropriate? I already searched the Download Center of Toshiba software without success.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to offer a diagnosis in order to answer your question may be some speculation on the possible reasons.

    In your ad, it is not clear since when you have this problem.

    I installed Win7 64 bit on several laptops P300 and everything was ok.
    Since when you have this problem? I can't imagine touchpad doesn't work all the time since when you use Win7.

    It is interesting that I ve seen that Windows update offers updates of the driver Synaptics listed as optional update. Perhaps you have it installed?

    Did you install driver touchpad of Toshiba download page? If Yes, have you tried to remove it and test the features?

    Does touchpad work in safe mode?
    Open the properties of the mouse and check if peripheral is enabled/disabled?

    ========

    It's probably the pilots who are responsible and who may not really be later or they need to be
    re-installed anyway. The best way is to manually review using the methods below.

    References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High
    Audio definition (this is an example and you can have an other name/maker).

    Write the description and the model double click on it - tab drivers - write down
    Version. Now click on update drivers who cannot do anything as MS is far behind certifying
    drivers. Then CLICK RIGHT on it and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver
    stack.

    You can have the default windows or a former certified pilot and it's all or part of the
    issue.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of the system and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put - right-click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN-

    Check the Version tab of the driver in the Device Manager as the restoration of the sound card drivers often
    and then install the latest version. Restart and check after each test, not
    rare to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more. Just the version make sure you
    installed shows upward on the tab of the driver.

    Go to the site of the manufacturer of the device, and then search for the even more recent drivers and install repeat
    operating mode. Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS
    ADMIN - Reboot

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Installation and update of drivers to 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above is)
    to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are are preferably)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    ---------------------------------------------------------

    After the updated driver.

    Click with the right button on the speaker near clock - recorders - right click in the box - check see the
    Disconnected devices and show disabled devices - check your micro - highlight
    then on lower right properties. Make sure that the appropriate injector is selected and check
    other parameters - levels tab make sure that MUTE is disabled and APPLY / OK to change
    .

    Also in the search for some Audio Manager Panel (perhaps named after the manufacturer of the sound driver). Mine
    is the RealTek Audio Manager, yours can be quite different name if you have one.
