  • 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:

    Ok, fair enough.  But since Job's death - Apple's control on leaks has been terrible.  I got the new iPhone, and I like it - but it hasn't made nearly as big as an impression as previous ones.  Because of the vast ammount of leaks.  With the iPad mini leaks, it's 99% sure to come out next week.
    Apple uses many manufacturers and it's massive also websites prefer to report on Apple whether true or false because it brings more hits.
    Amd by "others" I meant other people on iPads - not other devices/manufacturers.  It's possible to do so, I just want to know how.  I honestly don't think we'll ever be in a Post-PC era until all tablets allow us to use USB in the way computers do.
    No, USB is not the future, you missed the memo about cloud and wireless computing?

  • Touch Pad Not Working / Warranty Question

    I spilled coffee on my new HP computer and now the touch pad doesn't work. Have I voided the warranty due to liquid damage?

    Hi,
    Most likely that is not warranty covered. Please read more from this:

  • My touch pad is not working and HP tech support has already tried uploading a driver update. Help

    HP Pavilion g6 notebook pc, windows 7 64-bit. I have two issues with my brand new computer. I have recieve a low disk space error when I try to back up my computer and my touch pad moves to the edges when I tap the touch pad and often I have to tap the touch pad more than once to get it to respond.

    I have also recently also updated my Bios from version 1.90 to version 2.1. After that my touchpad is also not working. I have tried to install the latest driver from toshiba, and from Synaptics, but nothing works. My device is recognized in the control panel, but does not respond to any commands. I have also searched for possible solutions, but have found nothing. I have a Toshiba Satellite L300-21H. I also use my Touchpad often, and I would also like to downgrade my Bios, because I think that it will take a while before a new Bios comes out.

  • 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.

  • HP Pavilion 15-n221sa Notebook PC touch pad glitching frequently

    HP Pavilion 15-n221sa Notebook PC, windows 8.1, 8GB ram (7.89 usable), 64 bit os, 1.80 GHz intel core i3 processor
    I got my new laptop that I bought recently (3-4 weeks, give or take) and I've noticed that my touch pad us acting up OFTEN. Sometimes it brings up the charms bar and randomly opens an option while other times it just straight up freezes. I can tell that it is the touch pad freezing and not the pc because I can still use the keyboard to do things on my laptop and I use a usb mouse that always works without fail.
    I have installed quite a few things but I have done frequent full system scans using norton internet security and it has "removed" 1 virus so far. I haven't done a malware scan but I'm getting to it right now.
    My question is has a spirit possessed my laptop or is my touchpad broken?

    Hi lolful64,
    Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I will be happy to help with the TouchPad freezing. I don't think that you need to call the Ghostbusters quite yet. Is it only freezing when you try access Charms Bar or does it freeze at other times? Start by reinstalling your Synaptics TouchPad Driver.

  • Keyboard and Touch-Pad Not Working After Having to Install New Hard Drive

    I had to install a new hard drive in my HP Pavillion DV9700t that has Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  After going through the recovery process with backup disk the built in keyboard and touch-pad do not work.  During the installation, an error message came up saying something along the lines of "the drivers are not supported by this verison of windows because they are unsigned."  The drivers that had that error were "hpqkbfiltr keyboard filter driver," "HP remote control HID Device," and "hpqkdfilter driver."  I tried to update the drivers for the keyboard from the hp website, but the keyboard and touch-pad still do not work.
    My question is, where do I find the digitally signed drivers for the keyboard and touch-pad that Vista won't flag and disable?
    Help please!

    Sparkles,
    Thanks for the suggestions.
    When dealing with MS Fix It, I was choosing run.  Upon further investigation on that site, there really isn't a scan that applies to my issue anyways I tried the .NET Framework repair tool, and that seemed to work.  It told me to try re-running what I was having issues with, so I tried running the Windows PowerShell again, but again was faced with the following message "windows update standalone installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247." I went back to the .NET screen and hit "Next" because it didn't work, and that responded by saying they were going to submit logs to Microsoft.  I won't hold my breath on that one.
    I'm to the point where I honestly don't care anymore.  I have no idea what to do, because doing a clean install with the discs HP sent me isn't going to help because they are just recovery discs, and not an actual Windows disk.  This is the second hard drive I have had to put into my laptop and use those recovery disks on in the last 3-years.  The built-in keyboard hasn't worked during that time frame on either hard drive.  I don't think the recovery disks I was sent install properly.  Not sure where to go from here.  I spent way too much money on this laptop years ago having it custom built to handle all of my drafting programs, so I don't want to just kick it to the curb.  I was looking into the possibility of just replacing it, but I cannot stand the Windows 8 interface.
    I guess I should have fixed the issue with the keyboard on this hard drive before loading all of my programs.  Between the recovery disk install, formatting of the hard drive, and installing all of my programs it took well over 12 hours.  Not really looking forward ot that again Then there's shockwave and flash and all of the other goodies that my recovery disks won't restore anyways.
    Sorry if this seems like a negative post, but I'm just tired of trying to no avail.  Maybe I should just take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I can't see them being successful if the recovery disks won't help anyways.
    Thanks for you help,

    Hi Epco_yangchao,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community!
    As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with Touchpad on your ThinkPad T440p.
    Boot the system in safe mode and work for a while to confirm if it is working in safe mode.
    Uninstall UltraNav application for Control panel – Program and feature option and restart the system and check if you’re able to see any adapter in Device Manager under Mouse adapter.
    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp45001-45500/sp45019.exe
    Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features and if you see the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver', right click it and select Uninstall.
    If you did need to uninstall this, restart the notebook.
    When windows has fully reloaded, or if you didn't need to uninstall an existing Synaptics application, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
    You should now find the settings you require if you open windows Control Panel, open Mouse, click the Device Settings tab and then click the settings button.

  • How to unlock the scroll in touch pad hp dv6

    It get locked time to time the scroll which is on the touch pad in laptop HP pavillion dv6000. Pls. help me to sort this out.

    Oh I see then your Properties Window may look closer to this
    Expand Scrolling and click on each sub-item listed below Scrolling. As you click on those sub-items, you can read about their Settings in Box 2. The Settings can be enabled (checked) or disabled (unchecked) in Box 3. Just remember to click Apply if you've made any changes. If you have any questions about a setting you see. If you're not sure about anything there, please let me know! I'll be glad to explain anything
    I'm sorry. I know that the words and settings will not be the exact same as the screen shot above, but it is the closest I could get to 6.3. 

  • HP Touch Pad freezing and will not restart nor shut down.

    My HP Touch Pad will not reboot nor shut off. I have a "hp" logo on the screen that will not go away. I have tried all of the 5 Ts with no sucess. I tried downloading webOS Doctor several times but when it went to connect my device I got an error message that stated " Connect your device directly to your computer with your usb cable."  The screen below has "Help" and "Next". Next is greyed out. I inserted the usb cable into different ports on my computer and made sure that they were listed under my computer tab. I was unable to get the "Next" button to be useable.  Any ideas about how I can make this connect to the touchpad? or even how I can get it to unfreeze. Appreciate any help.   

    Just to be sure you've followed the directions fully, here is my "Doctor How To" file:
    How to Doctor an HP TouchPad (reflash the ROM)
    On your Touchpad be sure to have:
    USB cable. The battery is charged to at least 30%.
    Computer:
    Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista Available USB port (not a hub or secondary port). Java 1.5 or later is installed. If you are not sure about what version of Java you have, or even if Java is installed, go to www.java.com and click the Do I have Java? link to install the latest version of Java. 210MB of storage space. Internet connection.
    Miscellaneous Info:
    The update process will take approximately 15 minutes. During this process, your device will not be available for use.
    Downloading webOS Doctor
    Download webOS Doctor on your desktop computer. If you have a webOS profile, get it from http://ws.hpwebos.com/webosdoctor/sorry.htm
    If not, check the webOS Internals page: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions
    Get your TouchPad ready to update
    Hold the Power Button for several seconds until a menu appears. Tap Shut Down to completely power down your device.
    Running webOS Doctor
    Double-click the file that was downloaded to run webOS Doctor. Follow the on screen directions up until you are asked to connect your device. Select the language you selected on your device, and click Next. Confirm your language choice. Click Accept to accept the terms of use. Click Next. webOS Doctor checks your system. BE PATIENT! I've seen this part take a few minutes to complete. After webOS Doctor finishes checking your system, you will be asked to connect your device.
    Connecting your device and finishing the webOS Doctor update
    Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. You must connect your device directly to your computer, not through a USB hub or other intermediate device. Now the tricky part. Hold the Volume Up button on the device and insert the USB cable. After the large USB symbol appears on screen, let go of the Volume Up button. If you see the HP logo instead of the large USB symbol, you may have let go of the Volume Up button prematurely. If this occurred , wait until your device boots up, shut down your device and then repeat step 2. Windows will find your device and may offer to install two different drivers. When asked to install drivers of OMAP, select No, not at this time. When asked to install drivers for Palm Novacom (bootie), select Yes and let the drivers install. This may take a while. Once the drivers have been installed, the Next button will become available in webOS Doctor. Click Next. Do not disconnect your device from the computer during the update process. When the Reset Complete screen appears, click Done. Wait a few minutes for your device to reset. You're done!
