Dear Harry,

The top-left area in your TouchPad, where there is a small hole with an indicator light is also an on-off touch switch that turns the TouchPad on and off.

So, press and hold this area for two seconds to turn the TouchPad on or off.

You can see it better in the picture below, extracted from the laptop manual that can be downloaded from the link at the bottom of this message:

Hope you may find this information useful!

Best regards,

SOURCE: my touchpad has locked on my ProBook 4720s. How do

Hi there,
Simply tap twice on the orange light and your pad will be working again, this is basically a lock like the HP had in earlier which was made enable/disable by Fn+F7 key, As a new advancement its a lock and also indicator, when you see orange light it means that touchpad is locked, for unlocking simply tap twice on the orange light on touchpad, and it will start working again

Based on the User Guide :

Turning the TouchPad on and off

The TouchPad is turned on at the factory. When the TouchPad zone is active, the light is off.
To turn the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator.

the indicator is on the top left side of TouchPad zone.

Good Luck

HP Lap top touch pad locked. How to correct please

By now you probably figured out you have to remove the power cord and battery to turn off the laptop. Let it cool down, 30 minutes or so, and then replace the battery and restart the laptop.

Touch pad locked on HP dv6 Laptop. There is a switch above the pad. White and orange when switched.

Hi Harry, I figure you will have had this answered by now but anyway,
double tap on an area in the upper left hand corner of the touchpad. This is how you disable and also how you enable it.

My touchpad left click wont work but left click and when i move it it works . i even installed Synaptics - input -synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad From windows update still the left click wont work...

I have this same problem on my pavillion dv6. sent it to warranty repairs twice they have replaced the keyboard, touch pad and mother board, worked about a week after last repair which took two weeks. I am sending it back on feb 10 for more replace parts and see if it works. I searched the web and I have not found any solution and hp won't even acknowledge the problem althoughit it is not limited to the hp product. Reconfigureing and downloading drivers etc. has done nothing but waste time. I am using usb mouse with touch pad disabled for now even that acts strange with the touch pad enabled.

Wireless mouse is not working. computer says the wireless button is turned off. can't find it to turn it back on. hp dv6 1030us

Check your bios settings when the computer first turns on it well say press F2 to enter setup (could be a different F key) if it doesn't say that, try pressing F2, F1, F10, and F12 or the DEL key. if these don't work, Try again and press all the Fkeys across the keyboard. on will take yo into setup and you should find a wireless device setting to turn it on. If you can't find one, you may not have a wireless adapter installed in your system.
