Mouse touch pad will not toggle off

HP G60 laptop, OS - Windows 7
My mouse touch pad will not turn off when the on/off button is toggled. This is a recent development. Is it possible that the button has been disabled, and if so, how can I reset it?

Hi. "This is a recent development". I'm quite unclear. Was this working previously? 
Yes. Usually, I work with an external wireless mouse, so prefer to turn the touch pad off to disable it (and avoid any spurious effects caused by accidentally touching it). Since just yesterday, when I operate the on/off button, nothing happens. It's possibly a hardware problem, but I figured someone might know if it was a settings issue.

  • My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work

    Hi. My Hp Pavllion dv7 keyboard and touch pad will not work. Been going on for a few months now. Read in the support forum that replacing the battery might help however it hasnt. Ran updates for Windows Vista and Microsoft Security Ess. Boots up just fine however unable to place in my password to get to my user profile and always have to work from guest......unless I have a USB keyboard handly at the time. I use a USB wireless mouse as well.
    Please help and thank you

    The keyboard and mouse (touchpad) are separate devices which could go bad at the same time but that would be a huge coincidence. I would try reseating the ribbon cables to the motherboard for both. Here is the Service Manual:

  • Elite Book 8460p - touch pad will not disable

    Hi everyone,
    I work on the helpdesk of a company and one of my users has been having an issue. He has an Elite Book 8460p and just recently started having issues with the touchpad on his computer. When he double clicks the upper left corner of the touchpad nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for the Synaptics Touchpad twice, with drivers directly from the HP site. I have also switch the user's hard drive to another 8460p but the same issue happens.
    I have attempted to disable the touchpad in the Synaptics Device Options under the Mouse section in the Control Panel. After I hit the Disable button, it does turn the touchpad off for a time, but it seems to turn itself back on randomly. I would disable it, apply and hit OK to close the windows, test the touchpad and it would reenable itself. Has anyone else seen a problem similar to this? I was hoping there was a way to disable it in the BIOS, but I did not see anything.

  • Hp touch pad will not boot up

    My HP Touchpad isn't working. It only turns on with holding the top right power button and the home button. Then it locks up with an HP logo in the middle.  We tried to download the Web OS doctor and it told us to plug in the USB, the "next" button on the software does not light up. We tried to hard boot it off or on but with no success with the Web OS doctor.
    Some forms are telling me to take out the battery but I do not know how to do this.
    Thank you for anyone that can assist.

  • Officejet Pro 8600 touch screen will not respond

    Hi,
    I have the HP Officejet Pro 8600 and the touch pad will not turn on. The power is on! I actualy cannot turn it off by pressing the off button, even when I unplug it and plug it back in it is like it was never unplugged. This all started when I updated my MAC to the new operating system and then I noticed where the paper comes out there were blue blinking lights. I pressed the off button and the lights stopped, but now nothing will respond. This is a wireless printer. Please advise what to do.
    Thank you,

    Hello Tanyaward,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with the touch pad not responding or lighting up.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Once the printer is connected to a wall outlet, please  attempt to use the power button to turn the unit off and then back on again.  This will do a semi reset on the unit.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • G70-250US notebook synaptics mouse pad will not work & keyboard will only work until I log onto pc

    I have a G70-250US model notebook with Vista 32. I decided to reload OS due to issues with mouse pad and keyboard. I still have the same problem whereby the mouse pad will not work and keyboard will only work until I log in and then it will not work.  External mouse and keyboard will work fine.  I tried uninistalling drivers for both and rebooting and letting OS find new hardware and install the drivers and this still did not correct.  I even pulled down the synaptics driver from HP site and still not working.  I checked the BIOS and it is the most recent. I am at a loss. Any ideas on these issues. 

    Ok I tested a bunch of different Firefoxes on my pos linux box.

    I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 I plan to use as a replacement for the Sony Vaio when it pops. I've held out as long as possible because it lacks a pci or usb wifi and I really didn't want to run 50 feet of cat5 up a flight of stairs to it. [as i type this i think i remember where a linksys stick for it might be]. Yes I guess it's about time I just do that.
    Don't laugh but the reason I held off adding a simple usb keyboard was just lack of space in my tiny bedroom. My setup is on two tray tables side-by-side. Sony Vaio is on left one, my lcd monitor and mouse are on the other. I barely have room to put a cup of coffee on the one with monitor and mouse let alone a full size usb keyboard lol.
    Anyway thank you again for all your help.

  • Ipod touch 2nd generation (works fine), but will not shut off

    my ipod touch 2nd gneration works fine, but it will not shut off.  This use to work:  I would hold down both top and face button for about 10 seconds and it would shut down. Now nothing happens no matter how long I hold those 2 buttons down.  Any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • My ipod touch will not shut off. lock up

    My ipod touch will not shut off. It is just a black screen with the time dial turning. It does not do anything. How can I get it to do something?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
