Walmart black friday emachines e627 touchpad help - So i'm sure alot of people bought the Emachines for $200 on black friday from walmart like I did for my G/F. Problem is I cannot find out how to disa. Do the touchpad drivers allow for the disablement when an external usb device is attached? Acer Emachine a wonderfull laptop, and if sudden the Mouse does not function anymore, you might get a sad. My eMachine E627 has a separate button (to the left of the main power button) which disables the touchpad. If the orange indicator light is on, the touchpad is disabled. My search for what was wrong (I didn't know about the button, nor that I had pressed it, and the setting is remembered even after reboot!). USA Canada Mexico Latin America Austria Belgium Croatia Czech Republic Denmark France Germany Greece Hungary Italy Luxemburg Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Romania Russia Slovak Republic South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Turkey UAE.

Title more or less says it all =] I bought the laptop in June of 2010, 6 months ago. I've never dropped it or spilled anything on it. Famous Colorado Serial Killers on this page.

The touchpad simply won't work! I've tryed pressying F7 and Fn+F7, no result.

I've restarted my computer, used a outdated driver, used the newest driver. Installed said drives manually and autmoatically. The device manager says everything is operational and functioning the way it ought to be. I reset all the settings to default and nothing. In the bottom tray bar theres an animated icon that shows pressure/location of my finger on the touchpad and when I touch it, it doesn't show it is being touched. No little finger, or rippling colors when the pressure increases or decreases.

It quit so suddenly I'm wondering if my cat may have just mashed the perfect combination of buttons to disable it. After all, my cat Alt-F4'd me out of World of Warcraft last night! The buttons just under the mouspad (left and right mouse buttons) are also unresponsive. Any suggestions besides the usual 'Derrr restart your PC' and 'Re-Install the driver manually!'

Would be most welcome. Give me something useful I can do myself so I can save $200 that Best Buy's Geek Squad wants to charge me!
