touchpad no longer works on my Dell Inspiron 14R

I have a gently used, Dell Inspiron 14R, my mother gave me a year ago.  It is 2 years old and was working fine until my child of 8 years began to play with her. I don't know what happened, but now the touchpad has stopped working. I have attached an external mouse which works fine, but I want to download photos from my iPhone and have that on the USB port. I can't have the mouse and iPhone connected together. Thanks for any advice. Karen Bigos

Buy a USB hub. They are inexpensive; Amazon has them from $5.99
US.

They transform into a USB port into several, as an extension or a cube
tap turns an outlet in several.

  • Touchpad no longer works after update BIOS on Satellite A500-1GL

    Hello world

    I just bought my laptop Satellite A500-1GL today. I started at the top and plays a bit (nothing serious). The touchpad worked very well at the moment.

    Then I discovered this tool to update the material and the update of the BIOS that worked without any problems. After I restarted the laptop, BIOS, loaded the default values of the installation and recorded.
    After that Windows 7 (x 64) started the touchpad no longer works...

    I downloaded the driver here and installed again once, still does not. I went into the BIOS, disabled the touchpad (I thought that maybe it's a bug...) and started again. It still does not...

    I enabled it again in the BIOS, tried to push the function + F9, but it still does not... Finally, I used the recovery and installed a Windows 7 costs.
    But unfortunately it still doesn't.

    Now, I'm out of ideas, can anyone help?
    Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    Thanks in advance ;)

    Hello

    It seems strange that after update Bios touchpad no longer works.

    > Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    To be honest, I don't know where to find. In any case, do a search on Google. Perhaps, other users of the forum can give you a link to download.
    The downgrade of the Bios is riskier upgrade procedure. So, be careful the next time...
    Advice for the future; Do not touch the running system.

    Good luck!

  • Dell Inspiron 14R WLAN Card disabled

    Hello

    I have a Dell Inspiron 14R running under Windows 7 64-bit. I had my PC from last November; about 7 months.

    I was with my PC, and all of a sudden, I started having problems with wireless. I was unable to get on the internet. Other devices on my wireless network are able to connect to our network, but it is not relevant because my radio was not picking up anything at all, when he was still in the same place. The connection worked very well using an ethernet cable. After that is the problem, my Targus Bluetooth mouse also stopped working.  That's what I tried:

    1. Enter the Network Center and sharing, disabling my network card and then allowing him once again. This is usually the case. After having it more than 5 times, it never worked.
    2. Do a simple system restore. I tried to restore 3 different times for an update in the last week, each of them failed (probably another issue altogether).
    3. Re-install my NIC driver wireless and then restarting. This does not solve the problem.
    4. Check the Device Manager. He said that the wireless card worked properly.
    5. With the help of the DW WLAN CARD Utility. It says on the Link Status tab, after the State of the connection, Radio disabled. I tried right-clicking on the icon in my Notification area and then clicking turn on the transceiver. He then shows an alert saying that "the wireless network card is always disabled. Use the wireless switch or the hotkey to activate it. "By pressing Fn + F2, which is also supposed to allow the radio is nothing, without any action or whatever it is sign of Windows. I also tried to run tests under the Diagnostics tab. All the tests of transmitted material, with the connection test again for giving me this alert: "the wireless network card is always disabled. Use the wireless switch or the keyboard shortcut to activate"and then failing. When you run the diagnostics of CCX Client is the same thing.

    What should I do? The problem is obvious that my card is disabled, as all signs point to that. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this? I have tried everything I know, not to mention countless Google searches.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Welcome to the community. On the Inspiron N4010, use the F2 key to activate wireless on or off. Use Windows Mobility Center in Control Panel to check the status of the wireless connection.

    Thank you

  • The speakers aren't working not on dell inspiron n5110 but headphones are

    Hello

    I have a dell inspiron N5110. He recently had a new hard drive mounted. Upon his return, no sound can be heard through the speakers inbult but sound can be heard with headphones.

    I am running Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit.

    The speakers are set to the default device in read mode.

    The pilot is IDT High Definition Audio CODEC and is fully updated.

    Any ideas?

    It is a non technical procedure of common sense for anyone who can use a screwdriver - but it's a job long enough. For a person unfamiliar with the tools at hand he would not be the first project, they should try.

    Clear a space to work on and a towel or something underneath to help catch the screws removed. Put the screws in containers and label those who are different from the rest.

    Before pulling a cable to see if there is a locking mechanism.

    When you follow the links to the service manual it will open in your browser, but you must download it and open it in Adobe Reader in order to view properly. It is a pdf file.

    Open it in Adobe Reader on another computer if you have one available, or print Adobe Reader, and then follow the instructions step by step, when you work on your laptop...
