I'm not able to use my touchpad. My mouse pad stopped working suddenly. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Synaptic driver, I tried installing the latest version of the driver and even then my touchpad isn't working. A while ago, after few restarts it used to work before and now it doesn't work even after restarts. What do I do? How do I fix this?

@Mystic_Grey,

 

I recommend you download and install the below chipset driver and check if it helps.

 

https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp96501-97000/sp96855.exe

 

If you continue facing the issue, then uninstall the touchpad driver from device manager and then download and install it from the below link.

I have found that the issue is due to the i2c HID device. It says, This device cannot start( code 10). A re quest for HID descriptor failed. I'll attach the images in this thread. My laptop was bought a month and a half ago and it's cover under warranty but the problem is I had bought it from US and even though HP says, it's warranty is international, I would also like to have confirmation on that. But most importantly, I hope you can resolve this drive issue before it gets to me going to the HP service center. So please tell me how to fix this?

Thank you so much @The_Fossette. Couldn't thank you enough. I uninstalled the I2C driver and installed the driver from the below link below. It works now. Hopefully, it stays like that. Thanks a ton man! 🙂

Hey .@The_Fossette

I'm sorry to break this to you but unfortunately, I'm facing the same issue again. Could you please help me out again?. I really have no idea as to why this keeps happening. I tried what you told me above and  did it exactly like you told me to do. Now,even that's not helping me. What do I do? Why is this happening?Screenshot (26).pngScreenshot (27).png
