2. This occurs when you use a particular application?

3. when the problem started?

    touchpad does not work on my laptop, it is a toshiba...

    Some have keys that turns off the pad and many Toshiba have card keys which have a control.

    Control Panel - mouse - Touchpad is here

    Panel of configuration-device - mouse and pointing devices Manager - double click on info pilot.

    If no joy go to Toshiba Support and download the latest drivers for your version of Windows and 32 or 64-bit.

    Go here and put in your info model and search for the drivers for your system

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

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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

  • Satellite X 200-219 - the touchpad does not work as it should

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite x 200-219. Had some problems with it that I have overcome now, except one... The touchpad does not work as it should. I think that the cable has been damaged at some point.

    So I'm wondering if I should use the same ribbon cable to connect the keyboard to the motherboard or can I get one of a different model of PC Toshiba laptop?

    I tried searching on the net for advice but have resulted in nothing so thought I would try the forums.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lee

    I think you can use the items to the satellite X 205 series since this seems to be the same series as X 200:
    Found some related parts the touchpad:
    Satellite X 205 / X 200 touchpad Board with cable: reference number: K000047950
    Satellite part number for the TOUCH PAD FFC X 205 / X 200: K000047980

    But why you n t come into contact with a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and order the part necessary and compatible?

    TouchPad does not work in mode 'sleep'. I can't wake up my computer using a touchpad. I downloaded and installed a driver for Windows 7 32 bit from a page of the Synaptics driver, but it did not help.

    Can you wake up your Qosmio using the power button / stop?
    You close the lid when the laptop enters the sliding mode?
    After you open the laptop lid should wake up. It work correctly?

  • Satellite A350 - Touchpad does not work, but an external mouse works

    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?

  • Satellite L50-A013 - touchpad does not work

    Hi all

    I've had my L50-A013 Satellite for about 7 months now.

    In the last month or so I started to have problems with the touchpad, freezing and does not not my contact.
    This lasted a few minutes at a time, then came the back of its own accord, almost like a very long latency period.
    This morning, however, I turned on my laptop and the touchpad does not work.

    Device Manager does not display a mouse or pointing device at all until I attach a mouse USB.
    By pressing the key that normally activates / deactivates the touchpad does not work - nothing changes and the light does not turn on in both positions.

    I tried reinstalling the drivers without result, and windows is no update that might help (or any recently that might have caused the problem).

    If anyone has any other ideas for what I can try, it would be amazing.
    The laptop is under warranty so I can hopefully get it fixed, but if possible I would really do not have to go without a computer until it's settled.

    Thank you all for your time,
    -Sase

    Hi Sase

    It is not easy to say what the problem is, but I can imagine that there is hardware problem. Perhaps touchpad loses the connection to the motherboard. I mean if this piece of hardware is not detected I can imagine this scenario.

    Of course best test you can do now is to reinstall OS and test functionality with the factory settings, but will delete your actual configuration of OS and software pre-installed.

    If this kind of test is possible do. If not, I think you must contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They have special diagnostic tools and they can check it for you.

  • Touchpad does not work on Satellite C55-A-184

    My touchpad does not work...
    I don't have a mouse to use to get the details of the driver etc.

    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 C855 - 1 HM-Touchpad does not work

    Hello

    My touchpad does not work! indications are he should be, pilot the newest, toggle F5 etc. Any ideas as to what may be wrong welcome. Machine is also only a few weeks, how do you contact technical support?

    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
