My acer extensa 4630z laptop's keyboard is not working mouse pad left and right click buttons work fine. I tried the fn f7 buttons but nothing works any ideas? The buttons worked fine yesterday.

Try disabling the track pad and enabiling it. Hot key is normally FN + F3

There are 2 possible answers to this common issue, the first is that the aspire has a mouse lock. check your keyboard on the function buttons for a picture of a mouse with a line though it, hit function and at the same time press the mouse with the line through it and if its locked off this will turn if back on. The second answer is driver issues, if the first suggestion dont work I would go to the Acer website click on downloads and drivers and enter your model number. Then download and install your think-pad and mouse pad drivers and install.

Try reinstalling the drivers for the touchpad. They could be corrupted or not there at all.

Hello,

Thank you for using fixya. My name is Carlo.

There are two ways that you can do to turn off/on the touch pad in your acer aspire.

1. Press FN + F7. It will turn off the touchpad and will turn on once you press the same buttons again.

2. If the buttons do not work. You can do this:

1. Go to control panel>hardware and devices>Devices and Printers>Mouse
2. CLick on the last setting on the right.
3. Click on Disable in the Mouse Properties.
5. Click OK.

Just go to the same area when you want to enable your touchpad again.

I hope this helps.

try pressing the Fn and F9 key to activate the touchpad if it is disabled..

go to control panel click on mouse and set for right handed

Just press fn + f7 or f8 funtions to unlock keyboard and mouse

thanks

Hi :

This problem is common with Acer Extensa seies . I've an Acer Extensa myself . and i always get this problem .
In future i advice you to not use the touchpad . Just use an external mouse to prevent this to happen .

good luck .

rate if useful please !

Try pressing the FN+F7 buttons together.. This enables / disables the touchpad

touch pad problem or keyboard short circuit
