On the top of your keyboard there should be F keys like F1,F2 etc.
Every F key has a little picture.When you see a touchpad picture press Fn+F5. According to my Laptop. For example if your touchpad picture is at F6 then you would press Fn+F6.The Fn key should be located near the ctrl keys. If this does not work then try the following steps:-

1 Click the Windows "Start" button in the bottom-left corner of your desktop. Scroll up and click "Control Panel."

2 Choose the "Mouse" icon or type "Mouse" in the field in the upper-right corner. Click the "Enter" button and then click the "Mouse" link.

3 Press the "Hardware" tab or the tab to the right of it that specifies the type of touch pad you have. If you are under the "Hardware" tab, highlight the touch pad in the list of devices and click the "Enable" button. If you are under the touch pad tab, click the enable button.

4 Click the "Apply" button and then click the "OK" button.

If your operating system is Xp / vista reimage your unit by hit F11 on started up & Hp splash screen - select advanced - select full destructive recovery - you have corrupted your device controler for human interface devices - like your k/board & mouse - there is no way to reinstall the required dll's so full recovery is required.

During boot up get into the bios and make sure your mousepad is turned on.

SOURCE: the mouse on my laptop wont move

Boot up into safe mode and see if your mouse works. If it doesn't, then it is probably defective. If it works, then it would be a configuration issue in the normal side of the o/s. See if that will help you narrow it down. If the mouse pad is defective, it may not be worth fixing, just go out and buy a small usb laptop mouse. Good luck. -Carlos:

try to turn off the laptop, remove both battery and adapter, press and hold the power button for about 10 seconds, reconnect the power source and test the mouse/touchpad again. if same thing happens, test the system in safe mode and try to reinstall the touchpad driver.

I cant unlock my mouse sensor..
If you can't unlock your mouse sensor then follow these instructions down below:
To make your mouse MOVE first you must
1.Put your mouse usb in your laptop in the usb holders
2.After you done, something should pop up a few seconds later near the bottom right hand side, saying usb mouse connected.
Try moving your mouse now.

if doesn't work:
go in the control panel ( you can find that in your window by pressing the window button on your key bored)
3.Then there should be a topic named " Hardware and sound" click the first topic called " view devices and printers"
4. After you clicked that there should be on the top on the page "Devices" and the bottom should be printers and faxes.

5 then you can double click the device to look if right one. DONE!

I hoped this worked! ^-^

Mouse in laptop is net move
if the system isn't frozen, there might be something wrong with the connection, mouse driver, the mouse or your mainboard. So you can check them one by one. If you are using USB mouse and it works on another computer, try another USB port on this computer or open control panel and device manager and update the driver of the mouse or the USB device for your mouse (right click on it and choose update driver then choose the driver from windows system32 drivers folder for usb(something named as usbstor.sys or something) or the one on the CD come with the mouse) or you can try USB/PS2 converter if there is a PS2 mouse port on your laptop and also you can try wireless mouses for options if you do have one.

How to unlock the key pad on a dell latitude D600 laptop
Hi. Please do troubleshooting steps below:

1. Check to be sure your "Number Lock" or "Function Lock" keys aren't lit. These can lock out certain parts of your keyboard. If either of these is lit, press them to unlock the locked portion of your keyboard. These can be found at the top right on a laptop and between the number pad and main keys on a desktop keyboard.

2. Save all open programs using your mouse. Use your mouse to restart your computer. This will only work if your computer isn't frozen. If your mouse doesn't move, press the power button on your Dell until the computer turns off. Press it again to restart. If the issue was lack of memory or a locked program, this will unlock your keyboard. Continue to Step 3 if the keyboard is still locked.

3. Shut down your computer using your mouse or power button. Don't restart. Unplug your Dell.

4. Remove the battery if you're using a laptop by turning the laptop over and sliding the battery release latch. Slide the battery out and replace after one minute.

Have a good one!


  • Step 2 Save all open programs using your mouse. Use your mouse to restart your computer. This will only work if your computer isn't frozen. If your mouse doesn't move, press the power button on your Dell until the computer turns off. Press it again to restart. If the issue was lack of memory or a locked program, this will unlock your keyboard. Continue to Step 3 if the keyboard is still locked.
  • Step 3 Shut down your computer using your mouse or power button. Don't restart. Unplug your Dell.
  • Step 4 Remove the battery if you're using a laptop by turning the laptop over and sliding the battery release latch. Slide the battery out and replace after one minute.

    Laptop is turning on-but everything seems frozen
    If you have a second set of functions on the buttons that are in blue or another color they may have been turned off. My kids like to play with my notebook and they did that. Just hold the function button (mine is blue and labeled 'Fn') I just hold that and press the button that corresponds with my mouse (a pointing hand in a rectangle).

    Other than that I dont know what would work.

    My mouse is frozen and I keep getting pop-ups
    A frozen mouse is usually a driver glitch. Try uninstalling the driver from the device manager then reboot and see if it finds the mouse and reinstalls the driver. You will need to let me know what the pop ups read and do they pop up even when your off line? If they are what I think they are, you're not going to be happy. Let me know if the driver reinstall helped your mouse and what the pop ups say.
