HP Pavilion Gaming 16 - A00XX not working ELAN TOUCHPAD.

[Rushan009]

About a month ago I bought an HP Pavilion Gaming 16 - A00XX laptop with windows 10 (32 bit) operating system installed. After deploying the operating system, most of the drivers were installed automatically, including the drivers responsible for the touchpad. After a while, I noticed that the touchpad was not working at all. Looking at the data in the device manager, I found that the touchpad is configured when the computer is turned on, but it cannot start (hidi2c.inf). Since a virtual machine was installed on my computer to work, I thought that some drivers might conflict with each other, and possibly recently installed operating system updates. Accordingly, I deleted the virtual machine, but this did not give any results. After that, I decided to reinstall the operating system, resetting everything to factory settings, but this also did not bring the same result. I have tried many ELAN TOUCHPAD drivers that were downloaded from the HP official site. At the same time, the downloaded drivers were not deployed on my computer via the .exe file. There were also attempts to install drivers through the device manager manually, which also did not bring any results. Also in the settings, the touch panel section has disappeared, and in the ELAN TOUCHPAD settings program my touchpad is not detected.

Hi@Rushan009,Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand that touchpad has stopped working on your PC.

As you mentioned that touchpad is not getting listed in the device manager.

Have you tried checking with an external mouse? Does the external mouse work?

BIOS is updated?

Please try the steps recommended below.

Click the Device Settings or the Click Pad Settings tab of Mouse Properties. If you have an ELAN device, the tab includes the ELAN icon. 

Select the desired touchpad under the Devices list, and then click either Enable to turn on the device.

On some touchpads, you can turn the Touchpad on or off by double tapping in the upper-left corner of the Touchpad. Double tap to turn the Touchpad on, repeat to turn the Touchpad off.

Refer this article to further troubleshoot touchpad issues.

If the issue still persists please provide the product number of your PC. 

I will try to find the best driver available for your PC

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

The fact is that I do not know after what exactly the touchpad stopped working. Perhaps after the next update of the operating system. I could not roll back, since the backup was erased during the cleaning of the computer. I used an external device - a mouse, the performance is correct, without any problems. After the touchpad stopped working, the "touch panel" item disappeared from the control panel, as well as in the mouse buttons, the "ELAN TACHPAD" item also disappeared, respectively, I cannot activate it in any way. I contacted HP support a few days ago. During the conversation, I was advised to go into the UEFI diagnostics, where the touchpad was working. However, when the system starts up, it does not turn on. Now I will try to describe all my actions taken during the attempt to set up the touchpad.
Serial number of my computer:
5CD051K8B7
The touchpad in the device manager is defined as (HID device on the l2C bus), respectively, it is in the group with "HID devices". The hardware ID is "ACPI \ VEN_ELAN & DEV_072E"
"ACPI \ ELAN072E"
"* ELAN072E"
A compatible ID is:
"ACPI \ PNP0C50"
"PNP0C50"
The error in the device manager is as follows:
"This device cannot be started. (Code 10)
A request for the HID descriptor failed. "
Log error (hidi2c):
There was a problem starting the ACPI device \ ELAN072E \ 4 & 212a0dc5 & 0.

Driver name: hidi2c.inf
Class GUID: {745a17a0-74d3-11d0-b6fe-00a0c90f57da}
Service: hidi2c

Problem: 0xA
Problem status: 0xC000009E

1. I tried to install the driver from the official HP website: ELAN Touch Panel Driver
22.2.21.2 Rev.B 2.2 MB 17 Nov 2020, which was provided to me according to the serial number of the computer. I tried to install this driver using the .exe file, but the deployment files say "@echo off", so I didn't see the installation result. Next, I tried to install the above driver from the device manager, to which I was prompted with a message stating that I had the latest driver installed.

2. I downloaded HP Support Assistant, which did not recognize that there was a device on the computer that was not working correctly.

3. I reinstalled the operating system twice, both of different assemblies, which also did not bring success.

4. I have updated the BIOS, also through HP Support Assistant, to the last one suggested by him.

5. I also checked the windows update center for the latest mandatory and optional updates, there were none.

6. The keyboard and BIOS do not have the ability to enable or disable the touchpad. Tap or double tap on the touchpad did not bring the same result.
