HP 4420s - How to enable mouse pad ?

Hi all, 
I have a user that has somehow disabled the mouse pad on this unit (HP 4420s laptop). I don't have a unit on had to test what he's relaying to me. He says there is a yellow light now near the touch pad that illuminates when he is logged into his profile and the pad goes dead..also there is a screen shoot on the monitor of a track pad with a finger pointing to it with a red x over it.
Obivously it's disabled somehow, so my question is how to enable? I've had him try (or atleast he said he did what I told him) hold top left corner of touch pad for 6 seconds and see if it enables...he said it didn't work.
Is there any other method besides this?
Thanks 

I have same issue with new 4420s. Waitigfor god advice!

    I'm using a friend's macbook pro with 10.5.7 with the mouse pad that responds to one and two fingers. How does it work? I find I touch and the page moves in ways I did not intend. I understand it responds to one and two finger touches but do not know how to use it. can anyone help?

  • How do i re-enable the mouse pad on my Probook ? the little LED light is on and I want it off

    I just received my ProBook and I prefer to use the mouse pad... not the button ... but somehow I have engaged the mechanism that turns the pad off and the button on ( the little LED light is on in the upper left corner of the pad)
    HOW DO I TURN IT OFF??

    Hi:
    There should be user guides on your notebook's support page that will tell you how to do that.
    Enter your model number in the Search Products box, and select manuals from the menu.

  • How come I can no longer scroll down via my laptop mouse-pad with Firefox 4.0?

    You know how you can use the mouse-pad on a laptop to scroll down on a web-page? I used to be able to do that in in the one before 4.0, but no longer can...anyone else have this problem?

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

    Help! My Mouse pad is not working properly. The arrow cannot be controlled, it just keeps jumping all over the page. How can I stop this?

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
    3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    5. Reset the System Management Controller.
    6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to  behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

  • How to enable my disabled I pad

    How to enable my disabled iPad

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

         I and my friend have the lenovo G560 laptops. I am running windows 7 ultimate and my friend is running ubuntu 11.04 OS in our laptops.
    In Ubuntu: The multi touch is enabled by default for the laptop touch-pad. For vertical scrolling, we can use two fingers to navigate.
    In Windows 7 Ultimate: I don't know how to enable this multi-touch feature.
    Your help is very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Using mouse pad to change desktop

    Hi, I would like to use horizontale two finger scroll to change desktops on my T61, I read the synoptics wiki and all I've been able to do is verify that my mouse pad supports it. I added the option in the 50-synaptics.conf.pacnew file but I just don't know how to set it so it changes desktop..
    PS: I run openbox.
    thank you for your suggestions

    Trixrabbit, do you really think that adding something to a *.pacnew file is going to have an effect?  Do you merge *.pacnew files?
    In any case, you are going to have to enable HorizTwoFingerScroll, then once that is done, you are going to have to configure that action to change desktops withon your openbox configuration.  From my time with openbox, I think this is the rc.xml.  Start reading the docs.  Openbox is very well documented.

    Hi, how to use touch pad (thinkPad T61) to scroll pages up/down, left/right? do I need any drivers?

    Hi daneeo, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
    In the Control Panel for your Mouse there should be an UltraNav tab. Under that tab are all the settings for the touchpad. Check to make sure scrolling is enabled.
    If you do not see an UltraNav tab in the Mouse Control Panel, download and install the UltraNav driver and utility:
