Compaq presario r3000 touchpad scroll function not working after allowing remote access to a telecoms analyst to correct a broadband problem. I have reloaded the ALPS touchpad driver from HP. Still no scroll. I have tried changing setting to "look for wheel" & "assume wheel present" but still not working.

have it replaced. there is no magic fix. Cost about $75.00 for parts plus 1 hour labour so expect about $200

Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

Hi! You may access touchpad settings by accessing control panel then go to hardware and devices then click on mouse. It will show a tab that has a drop down option for left and right click functions. Thanks for visiting FixYa.com!

2. Under Mouse properties Window click the Device Settings tab

4. Follow the steps below to enable the Tapping Feature :

Highlight Tapping in the Left hand side , and Check the Enable tapping in the Right hand box .

check the connection or try redownloading the driver for it

There are two reasons for this, wrong or missing touchpad driver, or scrolling is disabled. First go to HP... http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html

put in your exact model number and click on the drivers link, download the touchpad driver and install, scrolling is automatically enabled. When you download a new driver it will over-write the present one and all it's settings.

you can order another one online and install it your self but be carefull ground yourself to the metal take out the battery and b on a solid noncarpeted floor and u may use small tools but if under warranty send it in

Sounds like the auto-dim in the BIOS is set too low. Fortunately the Compaq R3000 allows you to adjust the brightness right from the keyboard. Hold down the [FN] function key while tapping the [F8] key will brighten the screen, while [FN]-[F7] will dim it. The settings are different for running on AC power and battery, so you must do each individually.

I Think the latest bios update for R3000 is F.35. Sounds like you need to reinstall OS or buy a new HD

Have you installed the Drivers for the touchpad in your laptop ? Have a look at this http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=442914
