Double-tap the touch zone at the top left side of the touchpad to disable it - once disabled the light will turn amber.

I CAN NOT DISABLE MY TOUCH PAD

I CAN NOT DISABLE MY TOUCH PAD. CURSOR JUMPING EVERYWHERE. I USE A MOUSE. I have gone into settings, and chosen the "long' response time, and other things. i have tried the FN +F3 key, which is supposed to disable it. That dosen't work either. i have the 2013 msi us g100. The slim laptop.

Which model do you have? Do you mean "S"100 or "U"100?
S100 doesn't have the Fn+F3 for disabling the touchpad, but you can try to press the reset hole to reboot the system.
For U100, try to do the EC reset by removing the AC adapter and remove the battery, then put them back and reboot the system.

How to disable the touch pad on the HP 6730b laptop? None of the prev sugg have worked

An associate of mine is working on an HP 6730b and her wrist or sleeve keeps brushing against the touch pad, making the pointer jump around. Since she doesn't use it anyway, she wants to disable it, but none of the suggestions I've found have worked. There is no on/off button near it on this model; nor a Device Settings tab in the touch pad's Properties, so she can't go the simple route. Thanks so much to anyone who can provide any assistance - Lorian

Need To Turn Off Touch Pad Tapping on Equium A60-173

Ok so I bought my father a laptop a few years back and now he has passed it on to me. I am wanting to turn off the tapping on the touch pad but I just can't find an option to do so.
I have installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Pro so there could be some drivers missing that come on the recovery CD.
I have tried to track down any drivers but I can't find my Laptop anywhere. I ran the Toshiba program which is supposed to detect which laptop you have but it came up with nothing when I ran it and I also searched in the drivers section on the Toshiba site but my laptop doesn't even appear in the choices of laptops.
It is a Toshiba Equium and on the back it says Equium A60-173 and the model number is PSA67E-00700C8J.
So if someone can please tell me how to turn off the tapping on the touch pad that would be great. I can't turn the touch pad off completely because obviously I use it to control the mouse pointer.
I saw a post that said to press Fn and F9 but that did nothing, probably because I don't have the correct drivers installed.
Any help would be great.

Hi buddy,
The tapping function of touchpad can be disabled in touchpad driver options. FN+F9 key combination will disable the whole touchpad so its another function.
The tapping function can only be disabled if the touchpad drivers are installed. If you install Windows from a normal Microsoft disk no drivers are installed and everything you have to install yourself. If you use the Toshiba recovery disk all drivers and tools will be installed automatically because it contains an image of factory settings. So recovery disk is more comfortable.
All drivers and tools that you need now can be downloaded here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
*Archive* > Equium > Equium A60 > PSA67E
As you can see you must only search in Archive to find the drivers ;)

Disable my touch pad please!

I have tried suggestions from various places. They all seem to work for OTHER people, but not mine. I have a Pavilion 17 notebook with Windows 8.1.

Hi,
First, I would like to know if the Windows 8.1 is preinstalled on your computer or you have perform a clean installation with other version of Windows.
This issue is mostly related to driver.
Please find the latest touchpad driver and mouse driver and install them, if there is no version for Windows 8.1, please install the latest one in Compatibility mode for testing.
Then refer to steps here tor disable touchpad:

V570 - I need help with my touch pad.

I just bought a V570 and it's GREAT, but whenever I install this Windows update, my touchoad scroll bar (The thing you slide up and down ont he touchpad to scroll a webpage) stops working. The driver is up to date and "This device is working properly" but it won't work. The only way I can get it to work is to run system restore (which I believe undoes the windows updates), but within a week the update comes back and when I restart my computer the scrollbar stops working. Is there a compatibility issue with the Windows updates or something? Please help, this is a GREAT computer but this problem is annoying.
-Matt

I have basically the same problem. At some point I installed an update that disables my ability to touch scroll. To get it going again I have to right-click on the desktop, select "Personalize" and then click on "Change Mouse Pointers" which loads the Synaptics control panel. For some reason, just opening the synaptics control panel refreshes the device or something and lets me touch-scroll again. I have to do this after every restart. It's annoying, but it works.
Let me know if it works for you or not. This is something Lenovo REALLY needs to address!

B570 - Disable Touch Pad

The laptop had to be rebuilt due to issues, and since then I've been unable to disable the touch pad, which is resulting in the mouse jumping all over the screen while typing. An external mouse is used, but need the Touch Pad disabled. The rebuild does not allow this to be disabled using the F6 key. Unable to use the manual settings instructions either. How else can this be disabled? Thanks.

Disable Touch Pad, WIN7, 15t or 17t

After reading several posts:
I don't see "touch pad settings" under mouse in control panel.
I want to either:
1. disable the touch pad so that it stays disabled, even on restart, or
2. employ the "touch pad disabled" when mouse installed option.
Many thanks.

Satellite A300 - touch pad dead after BIOS 2.20 update

Hi,
exact model is Satellite A300 PSAGCA-06M01N running Win XP.
i had a problem with the webcam, and i read in the forum that it may be solved by a BIOS update. so i went ahead and downloaded the latest BIOS from the toshiba website specifically for my laptop model. it went completely well with no errors.
however when the computer restarted after the BIOS update my touchpad doesn't work anymore.
i went to the Device Manager and could still see the Synaptics touchpad device and it says "This device is working properly". but its totally dead and will not respond including the 2 buttons. before i updated the BIOS i had never had any problems with it.
Tried FN+F9 to no avail. plugged in a USB mouse and it works with no problems. In fact, when i plugged in the mouse the synaptics software said " Disabling the touch pad due to external pointing device" so the device driver for the touchpad is working.
if i remove the mouse it will say the touch pad is restored but it is still not working. rebooted many times and still the same problem. went into the BIOS and selected "Default" still a no go.
Can someone offer any advice or ideas please?
I really need the touch pad for the way i use the laptop...

Hi,
thank you for your reply. i already checked the BIOS setting for "Pointing Devices" and made sure its enabled. its the only setting in there that relates to the touch pad. just to make sure though i disabled it and then rebooted, after which i rebooted again and enabled it to no effect. i know this is not an isolated instance, as my search has turned up some with exactly the same problem. I'm really disappointed with Toshiba.
regards,

HP ProBook 4530s mouse touch pad

I have disabled mouse touch pad. Having restarted laptop I noticed that LED indicator for mouse touch pad was turned off and mouse pointer accepts finger moves/clicks on touch pad (it was enabled) until I logged on when LED turned on and mouse touch pad was disabled . Is this normal behaviour? The same is happening when laptop is powered on.

Hi BoxIKG,
Thank you for your inquiry,
Your Probook is a commercial unit. I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure, I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums, since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial/Notebook - HP ProBook, EliteBook, Compaq, Slate/Tablet PC, Armada, LTE
I hope this helps.

Tecra A3X-112 : Fn + F1... Touch pad stop working

Hello everybody,
I have a Tecra A3X-112 on which Windows XP has been recently reinstalled.
I have installed Windows XP before with other different copies, but this is the first time I experienced some misadjustments.
My problem is that the Fn key combined with F1, F2... keys stopped working, as well as the Assist bottoms placed on the top of the keybord.
Besides, the Touch Pad works, but I cannot disable it.
I have been looking at the messages of some other users and it seems that it is a problem of downloading the proper drivers from Toshiba webpage.
My question is: which drivers for which keys?
a. for *Fn + Function keys* should I intalled *Utilities* or *Hotkeys Utilities for Display Devices*? There are even some users who recommend to installed a BIOS update or a Common Module driver, but I am not sure about that. By installing the proper driver, are all the combinations of Fn + Function keys work, or just some of them?
b. for *Touch Pad*, should I intalled only *Touch Pad On/Off Utility* or *Touch Pad Driver* is also necessary?
c. for *Assist bottoms*?
Send me some answers, please.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello
The FN keys functionality depends on few different factors. At first it is important to have installed Common modules. It is so called base for other Toshiba designed tools and utilities.
Just for example: for using FN+F2 (power saver options) you must install Common modules and Power saver tool.
So as first step I recommend you to install Common modules again.
When you are finished check FN functionality and post the result.
For FN+F9 you need to install TOSHIBA Touch Pad On/Off Utility. Before this it must be installed ALPS Pointing-device Driver.
You know, it is not easy to offer simply solution to this. All drivers, tools and utilities shuld be installed in right installations order. After doing this everything should work well.
One more thing, for assist buttons try with TOSHIBA Controls.

X240 touch pad issue and keyboard backlight

Hello all,
After last touchpad updates (Synaptics UltraNav Driver 7/8/8.1 ver. 18.0.7.57) my track point died (red dot middle of letters GBH) and I could select which parts of my touchpad/trackpoint I want to use. Because I have a mouse I usually dont use touchpad and if I'm on the road and I dont have mouse with me I use track point. I want to turn of touchpad because its really annoying to type anything cos my hand touched the pad and mouse makes mistake clicks. Now, If I want to disable my touch pad I need to make it from BIOS and still.. I cannot activate my trackpoint.
Another think that I also realize that my keyboard backlight is also dead no matter how much i tried to press fn+space nothing happened.
Did anyone else noticed this type of problems?

I had a few problems with the new update as well. I unistalled the driver and downgraded to the version before (16.2.19.14) and everything is back to normal.

Keyboard and touch pad acting crazy

Posted earlier today about crazy keyboard jumping all around.Read a few pages by others with the same problem so I stopped in to my local computer store and the tech said the best fix is to turn off the touch pad and use a wireless mouse. He also said you can't use another keyboard either that will act properly unless the touchpad is turned off.
So, here's the question. How do you turn the dang thing (touch pad) off?
All replies will be appreciated.
Edit: Touchpad turnoff button is just above the pad, hard to see but easy to touch. Turned it off, plugged in a wireless mouse and all is well again in Alabama. First time in months I don't have to re-write every line.

Hi cb! Thanks for clearing that up. I attached a detailed zip file that shows how to do that, step by step. As you have stated, either way will accomplish the task of disabling the touch pad. This doesn't have to be difficult. Choose one way or choose the other way. I personally like the flash card method. This screen shot is taken from the user guild, which I also provided in my other reply.
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.
