Touchpad isnt working properly

I have a HP Pavilion dm1-2150so with Windows 7. 
My Synaptic Touchpad isnt working properly. It is shaking and moving around and I have to use a mouse to use the computer. I downloaded the driver updates recommended on the HP site but then the Touchpad didnt work at all. 
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

did you un-install the current ones first? also, have you made any recent changes lately?

    Can I install the online version rather than using my dvd? it successfully installed (up to a point) that way, it just wont accept my serial number for some reason. my dvd isnt working properly.

    If it gets far enough to reject your serial number, it won't help to download it. It must have installed ok.
    What is the message you get (DON'T tell us the serial number!!)?
    Does it mention a "qualifying product" by any chance?

  • My iphone 4S is out of warranty and isnt working properly, can I upgrade

    My iphone 4S is out of warranty and isnt working properly, can I upgrade to the iphone 5S? and for how much?

    For as little as $199, depending on whether you're eligible for an upgrade with your carrier, or if you decide to purchase it out-of-pocket, and how much you can sell your broken iPhone 4S for.

  • Synaptics Touchpad not working properly

    Hi everyone,
    I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have my laptop since more than 2 years and never had a problem with the touchpad. Since yesterday it's all messed up.
    Touchpad is enabled and if set on right-handed and buttons and tapping enabled (the standard setting) it reacts as follows: I can continue to move the pointer, scroll and use the right button. I am not able to do tapping anymore and the left button doesn't react.
    If I set it on left-handed, tapping starts working again and the right button (now having the function of the left button) works. Still, the left button doesn't react. If I disable the buttons the touchpad itself works properly (scroll, tapping etc).
    I have googled and I have tried the following solutions: deinstalling / installing a new Synaptic / Windows driver (downgrading as well), than there was a suggestion to take out your battery and disconnect the power cable - did that as well, have tried enabling/disabling the touchpad - no change after that. I never have a mouse connected but I have now, tried disconnecting, made no difference. The day the error occured I had a Firefox upgrade - downgraded it again, no change. I used pressured air to clean the touchpad + buttons... no change...
    I don't think this is a hardware problem because the tapping function, although always enabled, would only work with buttons disabled or with left-hand setting.
    I really hope someone has a solution for this, it's driving me crazy!
    My laptop is a HP Pavillion DV7 with Windows Vista 32-bit.
    Many thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Steph

  • My power/sleep button on my iPhone 5 isnt working properly, if at all! HELP!!

    My power button on my iPhone 5 isnt working properly, if at all!! Pls help!

    What exactly happened?
    would you notice a mechanical issue with the button?
    if its a hardware issue and your under the warranty, you could have the device be repaired or replace as long as there is no accidental damage and liquid damage.
    you can always do a restore to isolate it from being a software issue
    please do back up when doing a restore for your device

    Hi @Mandeep2000 ,
    Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you!
    I grasp that your touchpad is not functioning correctly as you are unable to use the zoom.  You have the latest driver installed.
    Have you ran  The HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates and resolving issues?
    Have you tried Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 8) to help overcome this difficulty.
    Here is a link to Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8) that may also be of benefit.
    Have you tried deleting the driver and reinstalling it?
    Please let me know the results.

  • Touchpad not working properly after changing LCD and invertor

    Product - HP Pavilion DV4 1318TU
    I was having display problems, went through repairer. He changed the LCD, invertor and fixed some issues of motherboard(related display output). After fixing these issues i am facing touchpad issues. Touch is not working properly, and when I use USB mouse its working but after 1-2hr mouse is also not working properly. I connected to external monitor then touchpad is working fine without any issues. Kindly help me and tell me the root cause.
    Thanks

    Hey @ashfaque91 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the touchpad and mouse are not working on your notebook after having your display serviced.
    It seems quite odd that they would work fine on an external monitor, and to be totally blunt this is something I cant even attempt to explain. 
    Was this service provided by an HP service provider or was it done by an independent provider? 
    Try using the notebook in safe mode to see if there is an issue with the display driver causing some kind of wonky issue. Without knowing which version of Windows you are running I cannot tell you exactly how to boot safe mode on your notebook, but you can find this information easily by searching "Safe Mode Windows #" in Google.
    Other than this I would suggest getting back in touch with the service provider if the issue started immediately after they provided service to the notebook.
    Alternately, you can call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

  • My lap top wont import pictures from auto play. it keeps saying there is a file error and a device connected to the computer isnt working properly. i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste the pictures but this wont work either.

    my pictures from my i phone 4s wont import from auto play. a message keeps coming up saying there is an error and a device is not working properly. also i have tried going into the internal storage to copy and paste them but that wont work either. the page either stops responding or the picture simply dont copy. does any1 have any idea why this is happening. it has never happened before and only seems to be happening since i started using i cloud storage instead of synching my phone with the lap top.

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Compaq Presario mouse isnt working properly

    Im having certain issues with my touchpad. i jsut brought this computer about a week ago and sometimes areas of the touchpad doesnt bothering working. At some points and times the whole pad works but after a few minutes of not touching it it just stop working and only part of teh touchpad works. its very weird. the only area i can move the mouse after it freezes up is under the touchpad light where u can turn it off. only that area under it. ive tried windows update for synaptics touchpad/mosue drivers; ive tried device manage and select update, and also tried from teh site witht he highest selectable firmware.usually if i restart ,close the lid, or reset device it works fully again, but i dont wanna waste my time with a touchpad that wont wrok properly. i have to say compaq presario is a very nice laptop and i wouldnt want to take it back which the store i got it from ran out of stock. I just want to find a solution first incase i have to return it back.

  • Z580 touchpad not working properly with windows 8

    Bought a z580 laptop recently and upgraded to windows 8.  The vertical and horizontal scrolling features don't work with it anymore. There is also no zooming and rotating feature anymore.  I downloaded the windows 8 driver from the lenovo website, but it says that I need the 64bit driver for my laptop.  According to the lenovo download it was for both 32 and 64bit.  How can I get the touchpad functions back?

    I just purchased the 'new' Z580 with Windows 8. Lovely laptop, nightmare experience trying to get the touchpad working! After trying a few fixes, I tried to call Lenovo directly, after going through about 10 phone numbers, I finally reached Lenovo IdeaPad technical support, who told me they had no knowledge of this issue, that it must be a hardware fault (of which I was convinced it wasn't) and asked to send the machine back for a replacement. In other words, Lenovo could not be bothered to help me fix the problem, rather pass it off to the retailer to deal with. Very poor service Lenovo, and very lazy. Anyway, I managed to get the touchpad working perfectly using the solution here (thanks!), so just wanted to advise people to ignore Lenovo and follow the steps here before sending back the 'faulty'' laptop... - Plugin in an external mouse (guessing you have done this already as the touchpad doesn;t work!)- Close down all your apps- Uninstall all Lenovo mouse and Synaptics drivers (via Control Panel)
    - Go to device manager (search 'device manager' in settings using bottom-right corner action)- Right-click on 'USB HID drivers' and choose 'uninstall' - the mouse will stop working (which is fine)- Press ALT-F4 to close device manager and again to restart the laptop- The default mouse driver will install automatically - which is fine- Double-click the download here from Lenovo China (www.lenovo.com.cn) and click the left icon (will appear with ??? as it is Chinese) to unzip the file - a new folder will appear with the drivers in it- Go into the Synaptics folder and run set-up to install the Synaptics touchpad driver- Restart again and now the touchpad should be working perfectly! Good luck... 

  • My Touch Isnt Working Properly

    Ok basically i bought my touch earlier today and put it on charge straight away. Itunes DID recognise it and allowed me to sync music and videos onto it
    up untill now my touch was working perfectly
    it wasnt untill after that when i started downloading apps and tried to sync them all that my touch stopped working.
    it just comes up with a screen displaying the apple symbol on.
    i turned it off using the home and sleep button and left it for about half an hour. when i came back it showed the same screen. after leaving it another five minutes the screen changed and displayed the end of a usb cable and an itunes logo
    i once again plugged my ipod into the usb port and had to restore the original ipod settings.
    after competing that my touch was still not working and went back to the original screen with the apple logo and itunes does not realise that it is plugged in anymore
    HELP!!!

    Your info says you are using Windows XP, is it 32 or 64 bit?

  • Facetime isnt working properly

    My facetime keep cutting and dropping the call, wasn't like that before update's and this Icloud stuff, anyone know what i've to do?

    I also just noticed this. I am using my mac pro as a baby monitor while the little one sleeps in the other room and keep my iPhone 4S by my side. After updating to iOS6 on the 4s it will not connect my mac to 4s or vise versa. The call shows up for a split second and then I get a message saying I'm not available since I'm calling myself from mac to 4s. I'm am on the same wifi network. It worked everytime before these updates for iOS6. What gives Apple?

  • Camera isnt working properly in low light or during nights?

    Hi,
    How to take the clarity pictures during nights or in low light. Facing this issue from a long time.

    I have a brand new MAC BOOK PRO 17 inch as well and my camera just started doing the same exact thing.  Can't figure out what it is.  I've tried restarting, resetting SMU etc. nothing has worked.
    My system profiler also shows FACETIME HD CAMERA (BUILT-IN).
    I'm wandering if this might be an issue/bug due to a recent software update that has not been resolved.
    Anyway I"m taking it into apple tomorrow to see what they have to say.

  • Itunes isnt working properly

    I recently got a new computer. It has vista, which I was a little worried about because of all the problems it has had with iTunes and what not. I figured those problems would be worked out by now, but to my disma there are still problems. Well atleast with my computer. I have tried everything to get my library from my old computer to my new one and it still has not worked. I have tried to follow the directions online to manually manage my music. I have put my music as a folder on my iPod. I have reinstalled iTunes three times. I have downloaded a third party software to try to transfer them. I have also tried to call the support line but they suggested I post a question. So here it goes. Does anyone know why iTunes will not take all of my music in any way shape or form? I have authorized the computer, although most of my music has not been obtained 100% legally so that doesnt really do me any good anyway. I have gone into my preferences and changed a bunch of stuff. I have tried everything sort of putting all my 1000+ songs onto cds. So if anyone has had iTunes mess up this bad and you have figured out why please enlighted me. Thank you

    Open the Control Panel, click on Displays, and change the monitor's resolution to at least 1024 by 768.

  • Either itunes isnt working properly or im just stupid!
