Touchpad??

Mr.Binary10 · 08-27-2009, 11:37 AM

I have a toshiba satellite a205 s4577, its running vista and the problem is that the touchpad stopped working all of a sudden. It works fine with an external mouse but i want to fix the touchpad cause the external is a hassle. Any help?? it will be much appreciated.

Hello mr binary

Welcome to the tech forums!!

i have just fixed two mousepads on two different laptops this month!!!

The only advice that i have for you is to buy a new one.
I know that's not much help but i have gone over this with dell and HP and from my experiences the mousepads magnetic s is out of wack and the only way to fix that is to replace it.

Do you still have your warranty?

Only other option that you might want to try is updating or rolling back your mousepad driver. (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...rrollback.mspx)

Thank you for the welcome,
but how did you fix the other two?
Did you just replace them?
And my laptop doesnt have a roll back option it only has update
and uninstall, but it also says the driver is up to date already.

to roll back a driver go into device manager go to the device right click go to properties then click the driver tab at the top and rollback driver should be in there!
