Touchpad on/off not working

I have an HP Pavillion G7 and the touchpad on/off stopped working after I uninstalled some programe that the previous owner had installed. Is there a programe that I might have uninstalled that would cause this?
This question was solved.

Hi,
Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your original Touchpad driver ( probably Synaptics ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
Recovery Manager - Windows 7
After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

If you are unable to get the iPhone working, it's almost certainly damaged. Take or send it to Apple for a definite diagnosis.

If you have AppleCare+ coverage, the cost will low; in the US it's $49. If you do not have AppleCare+ on your iPhone, see the Service Pricing section here:

Touchpad scroll gestures not working in windows 10

Hello,I have a HP Envy laptop and my laptop's touchpad scrolling gestures are not working since I updated my windows operating system from windows 8.1 to windows 10. Please help me out!

Hi : Did your scroll setting stay after you rebooted? I gave the same advice yesterday (see post below) and the one guy said the setting gets erased on every reboot. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Other-Notebook-PC-Questions/Synaptics-touchpad-doesn-t-scroll-after-Windows-10-upgrade/m-p/5173105#M126701 I could not say yea or nay because I rolled back my notebook to W7 due to the fact that it could no longer screen mirror to my smart TV (either the TV needs a software update, or W10 has a bug) and I can't remember if I had used the notebook scrolling feature again in W10 after I had turned it off.

Touchpad and touchscreen not working-Satellite C55Dt-B5205

I just purchased a Satellite C55Dt-B5205 on Tuesday, ran all the updates, and everything was working fine. I upgraded to Windows 10, and now my touchpad and the left/right buttons do not work at all. The touchscreen works on everything except only intermittently on the Google Chrome browser (at least everything that I've tried). I have tried enabling the touchpad, but it says it's already enabled. So then I tried turning my computer off, unplugging everything, taking the battery out, and holding the power key for 30 seconds. That didn't work either. (It was an idea I found online.) I've also tried the F5 button, that does nothing also. The touchpad DOES work when I restart the computer, at the screen where I have to sign in to the computer, but once I sign in, it not longer works.Any help would be greatly appreciated, and just FYI, I'm not hugely computer savvy, so clear instructions would be better.

I did some research last night. On Tom's hardware forum under post "Touchpad scroll not working - Windows 10" yoko_oh_no had a similar issue with their Satellite M-50-A and solved the problem with an earlier version of Elantech touchpad drive "Elantech_Touchpad_11.8.24.6". I've downloaded (from elsewhere) and installed this driver* 11.8.24.6 and all's fine on Windows 8.1 but I don't particularly want to re-install Windows 10 on my Satellite S50D-B-100 and find I've still got a problem with a non functioning touchpad. Perhaps someone who currently has Win 10 on their Satellite with a non working touchpad could give it a go? Important: Before trying the above first of all ensure that you have an Elan touchpad - not a Synaptics touchpad.Go to Control Panel and search for device manager, click on "Mice and other pointing devices" and check that it says Elan PS/2_SMBus Port Input Device or similar. *The only Elan downloadable drivers that showed for Satellite S50-B family on Toshiba Support (Computer Support -> Download Drivers) for my 64 bit Windows 8.1 were 11.8.22.3 and 11.8.29.5

On/Off Not Working on Zen Mic

Hi out there,
I bought a Zen Micro about two weeks ago. I did my first recharge on it yesterday, and after the battery was fully recharged, now the on/off button isn't working. I can click it over to the power on/off position and hold it for ten seconds or more, and nothing happens. It does turn on when I plug it in to recharge, and shuts off due to idle shutdown, but I just can't power it up or down in the usual way.
Any suggestions?

Ohh, I'm having the same problem as you. Exactly same as your situation.
I'm soo worry! Cause yesterday my thumbdri've spoilt, so I use zen as thumbdri've, happily transfer those important data to my zen. In the afternon time, i still can power on/off as usal and save my data. But then later on, there's something wrong with the on/off button! So sad, now i can't store my data and i need a data storage to store all my projects and my projects submission is due very soon.
To power on my zen, I have to charge the zen or connect the zen to the usb cable.
To power off my zen, have to remove the batt!
I tried the rescue mode, but it didn't work.
Then I upgrade my firmware as told by the technical, the lastest version release on st July.
Thought that it would help, but it is just a waste of effort! I have to backup my zen - all my music and data! wasting my time in transfering data to and from my zen to my computer. Then have to d/l and upgrade the zen.
I'm so disappointed with my zen! Since I bought my zen from the IT show this march (3/03/2005), it has been giving me alot of problem!
. At first, i bought the zen, the touchpad was NOT sensiti've and I didn't know it till I went home and charge my zen.
Then the very very next day, I have to go all the way to Jurong to change my player! Got back a new replacement immediately. (5/03/2005)
2. After I got a new replacement, happily went home, just test the touchpad sensitivity and it works perfectly! But never did i realise that the back cover was very loose, any slight push would be able to remove the back cover. Wanted to go back and change but due to project and exam piling up and I thought the cover was just a small matter so I only went to change it on 6/05/2005 when I finish my exam. The customer service representati've comment that my back cover was very loose and he give me a new replacement immediately. Pray and hope that there will be no more preoblems with my zen but now, it has a big problem. ON/OFF BUTTON! Why i so unlucky?
So if i went down to repair again, it gonna be the third time!! how sickening is it's? Why so many problems?
Within less than half a year, my zen got so many problem! **bleep** sad!!!

Iphone 4 on/off not working

[SOLVED] DPMS screen off not working with xorg 1.16.0, gnome 3

After the update of xorg into 1.16.0-2, screen is not turned off by DPMS in GNOME.
I also tried an manual command:
$ xset dpms force off
but it's not working.
In other WM, this command is working.
With xorg 1.15.2 and gnome 3, there is not this problem.
When I entered the command, the screen turned off for a couple of seconds and turned back on.

Updating xf86-video-intel to 2.99.912-4 solved the problem.

Satellite L955-10K - Synaptics Touchpad Driver does not work properly

Hello, ASRR here.
I've been having a problem with my Synaptics touchpad driver since yesterday. I am very used to using the "gestures" to work with my touchpad and the gestures haven't worked properly (in fact at all) for a while. The two-finger scrolling, the three-finger touch and others (actually all of the gestures) do not work anymore.
The cursor moves, and works fine but the gestures don't.
When I go to the Mouse option in the Control Panel, a window pops up stating that the PC is "Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver." and asks me whether I want to uninstall it.
I have tried uninstalling it, then going on the support page for Toshiba and downloading a driver that was suitable for my model, operating system, etc.
When I set up the driver I downloaded and restart the PC, the same window pops up when I try and go to the Mouse options in the Control Panel and the gestures do not work.
One interesting thing I noticed however, is the fact that when I roll back the driver (in the Hardware properties- then settings) the gestures work FINE. However, as it always asks you to restart the computer in order for the Rolling back of the driver to take place, when I do restart it, it sets the Microsoft touchpad driver from 2006; which does not include the gestures I need.
I have tried multiple times to fix it but I can't. I went to the UEFI firmware set up and tried resetting it to default but with no success.
I really do not know what to do. Could somebody PLEASE help?
My Toshiba Model is a Satellite L-955-10K with a 64bit processor and originally installed Windows 8 operating system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

To me it looks like the Synaptics touchpad driver could not be installed properly and after the new restart the touchpad driver isnt indicated by the Windows 8 system.
By the way: are you still using the Win 8? Didnt you upgrade the system to Win 8.1? Should do this since many different bugs have been solved in new Win 8.1 version.
Back to the Synaptics touchpad driver.
Usually the drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page but in some cases you could also use the drivers directly from manufacturer pages. In this case the touchpad driver has been released by Synaptics and it would be interesting to know how the touchpad driver from Synaptics driver page would act on your notebook

Win 7 Touchpad driver is not working on Satellite C855-21V

Hello everybody!
I have an Satellite C855-21V and it came with Windows 8. After one week of desaster Im sure I want never again a Windows 8 on my Computer!
So I installed Windows 7 and can find all the drivers somewhere in the internet.
The only thing what is not working is the touchpad.
Win 8 driver dont work and from other models the win 7 driver don't work.
Does anybody know what Brand is the touchpad or where to find a driver for win 7?
Thank you all for the help!
Best Regards
Frank

Hi
First of all the touchpad should work after Win 7 installation.
The Windows system contain an standard touchpad driver which should control the touchpad.
Of course the installation of additional Synaptics driver would provide more touchpad features (finger scrolling, etc) but also without the Synaptics driver the touchpad should work.
Anyway, I already mentioned the Synaptics driver and you can download this here:
http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers
PS: is the touchpad enabled? F5 Enables and disables the touchpad

Satellite C660-17L - Some TouchPad functions are not working

My touch pad functions are not working:
- I can't use it to scroll up and down
- I can't use it to zoom.
What should I do to fix it?

Yes the model number is Satellite C660-17L
And no I didn't install the touchpad driver.
I Have had this laptop for less than a month, I started it one day and tried to scroll but it didn't work.
Also i tried to search for the advanced settings under the mouse option but I couldn't find it.
When I enter the search directly into the search bar, the mouse option comes up but when I click on it, it asks me if I want to uninstall the synaptics driver.
I have no idea what this means but I click no and it comes up with all the mouse setting options.
What should I do now?

Touchpad, Mouse, USB not working

On 7/09/15 an HP update did not install items. Mouse and touchpad as well as usb stopped working. Mouse is Bluetooth. Drivers won't install. Touchpad drivers were reinstalled and did not work. Usb ports won't recognize anything plugged into them and won't install any drivers. Tried dinstalling chipset and it didn't work. Tried uninstalling all usb drivers but this didn't correct the issue .Tried changing ease of access to use the keypad to control the cursor but that doesn't work. Could a settings change have done this? I keep getting a notification for a split second saying settings were changed . Any help would be appreciated.

Hi! I know this is a very old post and forum theme (the hp 6220 is a bit old...) but i have one and it works fine after i changed the motherboard and i make it run with windows 7 , the wireless driver was so difficult to make it work but i succeeded, its ok now.
My problem is the touchpad, it dosen't works at all...nothing?! In device manager it says working properly but dosent. Is there something to do to configure or something like that while i replaced the whole motherboard. The cables are ok, its connected to the right connector and the touchpad was working on the old motherboard. If you could give me some advice / trick or something to make it work. Thanks in advance!

'flagged' to 'filters off' not working. still showing only flagged images.

Recent issue:
when I try to switch from 'flagged' to 'filters off', it is not working. The app is still showing only flagged images. I can't access my unflagged images in the gallery at all.
I have to exit the app completely to correct issue.
I'm using the most recent update of lightroom 5.5 from the CC.

A couple of things to try:
1. Exit LR and then delete the LR 5 preferences file: Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5. On Mac, you must then reboot.
2. In the Library Filter Bar, select Restore Default Presets:
3. If neither of those help, take a screen shot of the entire LR screen when you have Flagged selected, and again when you have Filters Off selected. Post these here. In the past, some others have experienced wierdnesses in the LR filter behavior, and a screen shot might give some more clues.
