Touchpad does not work on the Satellite A500

Hey,.

I opened for a long time as a result of thread:
http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=228228𷮄

I installed the driver. He worked for a while.

After a few reboots - the same error is back.

No scrolling (any question with 1 or 2 fingers) or other special features of the pad were more possible. :(

Can someone tell me why the problem occurs? Why again and again if I once fixed?
What can I do to ensure that the problem is solved at every time?

Hopefully, you can help me... ;) Thank you!!

Kind regards
PSP.

Hello

The special features of the touchpad can be configured in the control panel-> mouse-> device-> settings button settings
There you can enable and disable all the features possible touchpad like scrolling, tapping, etc.
Of course, the touchpad driver must be installed correctly.

I put t know why it happened again, but in most cases different updates (Microsoft updates) or other preinstalled software could cause this

  • Touchpad does not work on the Satellite A100-812

    Hello, I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A100-812 (C. Duo, 2 GB RAM, GF 7600, Vista Premium). I disabled the synaptics driver in msconfig. After a while, I turned on the driver but Touchpad still does not work. All the fn buttons work correctly (turning brightenswith FN + F6 or FN + F7 etc.) but FN + F9 (turning the Touchpad) does not always work.
    Help, please.

    Hello

    you did a reinstallation of the driver? I think that if you have disabled it with msconfig, it should work after reactivation and otherwise, to remove this driver and install it
    Once again. (So the touchpad) driver should be available after reinstalling and restarting Windows.

    Would be recognizing a few comments if it worked. :)

  • Touchpad does not work on the Satellite L50t-A-131

    All,

    My touchpad has stopped working. The light of the little mouse in the upper left corner is off. When I attach an external mouse pointer appears again and everything is fine, when I remove the mouse pointer disappears again.

    I accidentally turned off in the past by pressing F5, but that doesn't seem to be the issue this time.

    I have recently upgraded to windows windows 8.1 8 and do not know if this may be a factor

    All advice welcome

    We start with basic stuff. Touchpad is correctly recognized and listed in the Device Manager?

  • Touchpad does not work on the Satellite A100

    Hello

    I bought a satellite A100 (PSAA9) and have a problem with my touchpad. For some reason, the keys do not respond sometimes and I have to press the Fn + Alt keys to solve the problem, and it works well. Later, he appears again and I didn't Kow why?

    The only thing I can say is whenever I press the key as alt Gr, the touchpad everything is blocked.

    In addition, when the keyboard is locked, my mouse is not working well (left click does not respond and do a right click does the same thing as a normal left click). Again, I press Fn + ALT and it's ok.

    Hope someone can help me please!

    Thanks in advance!

    HM, sounds like a very boring and weird problem. Have you tried to reinstall your system or at least a linux live CD to see if the problem still occurs if you start a different operating systems?

    If you didn t tried, then it would be useful. Maybe just a problem of software it s. But if so and the problem doesn´t want to go further, then you have a huge problem and your next step will be to put your machine to an authorized service partner. Why?

    Because if so, then you would have probably a hardware problem and you won´t be able to fix it yourself. The explanation is pretty simple and easy...

  • 2.60 BIOS does not work on the Satellite A200 - 22 c

    Hi all

    I made the mistake to Flash my old bios Satellite A200 - 22 c (PSAE6E) to the new version 2.60.

    As I did this, the keyboard does not work on the bios screen, so I am unable to manage anything in the BIOS.

    When Windows Vista 32B starts the first time, the keyboard does not work. If I close the session and then I it again, it works correctly.

    The touchpad is lost and I need to use a USB mouse. Is not a pilot cause problem, all the drivers are updated and are working properly.

    The question is: why Toshiba didn't allow users to download the old version of the BIOS? ¿WHERE or who do I contact to get the original BIOS? Why do the flashing utility make a backup of the OLD BIOS and then does not give you the ability to recover it?

    Please, help me to recover the original BIOS to retrieve my keyboard and my touchpad because I can´t find any message or anything like that to get in touch with the technical support of this web site.

    Thank you!

    Which version was old BIOS?

    By the way: you can contact Toshiba. They have access to the Archives of BIOS and they can provide you with older version of BIOS.

  • 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?

    Hello

    What cell phone do you have?

    I imagine that your laptop comes with XP and now want to use it with Vista OS.
    Please note that you should install the Package Toshiba Vista value added to use all the features of the laptop.
    Very important is the pilot of common components and the TOSHIBA Flash Cards.
    The Flashcards provides the Hotkey function and function of pitcher who starts the Hotkey function.
    Please reinstall!

    The additional touchpad functionality must be configured first.
    This can be done in the control panel-> mouse

    Here, you should look for the touchpad settings and able to configure touchpad again scroll areas.

    Good bye

  • Driver Chicony webcam does not work on the Satellite A200-13O

    After the misfortune that occurred to my webcam, I tried to fix it by uninstalling the driver and then put it back in place (by the toshiba Web site).
    I did this twice and it does not work,
    allthought the pc installed the driver, the camera was not working because a file was for win95 and my pc has vista.

    After several reboots, I made the following
    -Start
    -all programs
    -camera assistant software
    -Right click
    -options (the last button in the right click menu...)
    -compatibility
    -Select work in win95 compatibility
    -ok
    Sorry for my English, I am Greek and my menu vista also... :))
    If anyone wants more details please to contact me.
    I hope this could help those in despair...

    Hello

    Yes I would like some details;).

    For example: manufacturer who is the camera, it is built, made, he has worked previously, and so on...

    So there is a lot to say, have you ever said to the second part, but I'm missing a few things as I've described above. By the way: you can try to recover your machine, if you really need on your camera, but it is really the LAST RESORT.

    Good bye
