Some touch pads have a tap to turn off, and a double tap to turn back on... also check you F keys.

Hey!

What operating system are you running? All I could find was a manual for your model: http://tinyurl.com/6gc7pl

If you are using Windows XP, you might try going to Control Panel -> Mouse -> On the first tab (Buttons) check "Switch primary and secondary buttons." then hit "Apply".

Try left-clicking (currently assigned to be the right-click) on your Start button and see if the menu with "Explore All Users" on the very bottom opens. If it does, then your touchpad is most likely defective and would have to be fixed (www.fixmyacer.com). If the menu doesn't come up, then it is a software issue and is 100% fixable.

Try Fn+F7 to reenable the touchpad. Might have been disabled by mistake.

There are not working the touch pad

Hi,
Have you checked that the touch pad is enabled, as Acer uses something like the FN F7 keys to enable disable the touch pad.

If still facing the same issue means you need to download the touch pad driver from the Acer website and you can fix the issue.
http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/downloads.html
Select the product and download the Driver.
Please let me know whether this works or not.

The pouse pad on my computer is not working

Try installing / reinstalling your touch-pad drivers.

Go to this site, Choose your laptop make & model ("Notebook" ==> "Aspire" ==> "Aspire 5500")

Once done, select your windows from the "Operating System" drop-down menu. Then download the Synaptics Touchpad driver in the scroll-box at the bottom.

Run the installation and restart your PC.

Hope this helps,

Non working scroll control on acer aspire 5102 wmli

How long have you owned the notebook? This sounds hardware related. If so then the touch pad would have to be replaced.
Thanks,

Sounds like the touch pad is not working anymore. try using a USB mouse and see if that works. also, see if you can reinstall the touch pad software to fix that.

On your model, Function and F7 pressed together turn the pad on and off. Note that you can also advance the selected button or control with the TAB key and go back to the previous control with CTRL-TAB (space or enter selects) so you don't actually have to have the touch pad working to control Windows.

THE 4-way scroll button IN MY ASPIRE 5100 DOESNT WORK

Double click the icon in the toolbar. Click the device settings tab and then hit setting. select buttons in the list on the left side. Hit the plus sign(maximize) and select scroll up button action....scroll down button action...Etc. For each action select what you want it to do and just hit apply and move to the next. Once you have selected the action for scroll up, down , left, and right hit apply again just to be sure and try it. It should work. I just did it on my 5630 but Im assuming it works the same.
