Re: touchpad of the mouse light

You will need to double tap on that light to enable the touchpad back ON... If that does not working, can I get the drive version of touchpad...

 

To do that, you will need to go the device manager -> Mice and other Pointing Devices -> Double click Synaptic Touchpad, in the Properties Windows, Click on Driver tab... you will have it there..

Re: touchpad of the mouse light

Thanks for the tip, but I did that double click on the touchpad when it happen and wouldn't go off, so I went to the mouse settings and pointers to lowest setting and up to now it hasn't happen again.  Well I haven't used the laptop that much, let see. Thanks again.

Re: touchpad of the mouse light

Cool, In between there was driver pushed thru windows update...that was causing this issue... check if your touchpad driver verison is 15.0.17.4 or 15.0.17.0

Re: touchpad of the mouse light

Cyclops, I have a similar issue where I am using the touch pad and an error comes on it is a hand with a finger with a red line through it, at that point the pad no longer works and the little orange light on the corner of it stays lit. I have a CQ62-228DX DRIVER 15.0.7.0

THANKS FOR ANY INPUT YOU MAY HAVE.

Re: touchpad of the mouse light

So, do you know if 15.0.7.0 came out of the box...if no, I would suggest doing a driver roll back...

Re: touchpad of the mouse light

Yes, right out of the box, the only thing I have installed is Outlook 2010. How would I proceed with the driver rollback?

Re: touchpad of the mouse light

Ok, in that case update to 15.0.17.4 and check...

 

What i have seen, updating from driver version 14.0.13.1/14.0.11.2 to 15.0.7.0/15.0.17.4 cause the enable functionality to stop working...

 

Just want to double checking... that we double tap on that light back, as it will enable to touchpad...
