Troubleshooting

If the TouchPad Does Not Work

Press the TouchPad on-off button to turn on the light.

Do not touch the TouchPad while the notebook is rebooting or resuming from Standby mode. If you do, try the following: press a key on the keyboard to restore normal operation.

If an external mouse is connected, the built-in pointing devices are normally disabled. You can change this setting with the BIOS Setup utility. See “Configuring Your Notebook” in this chapter.

Restart the notebook by selecting Start > Turn Off Computer > Restart.
