Hi  Dexaj, Welcome to the Community, Try uninstalling the current Touchpad driver from Device Manager.To uninstall go to Device Manager,expand Mice and Pointing device,right click on the Touch pad listed,click uninstall,put a check mark in the box for Delete this driver software,click OK. Reboot the system and check under Programs and Features if Dell Touchpad is gone from that list.If its still there uninstall and again reboot the system.After rebooting the system download and install this Touchpad driver from the link below: www.dell.com/.../DriverFileFormats Hope this helps, Thank You

I did exactly the same but still no good.  :emotion-6:

Run hardware diagnostics and see if you get any error and also post a screen shot of the Device Manager after expanding Mice and Pointing device.

To run the hardware diagnostics,tap F12 on start up (Dell logo),select Diagnostics,press enter.  

Here the screen shot of the Device Manager with the Mice and Pointing Device expanded:

I also ran the diagnostics and it showed no error or anything. I even went ahead with "Full Test" but nothing. All it said that the system has been checked etc, but no mention of any problems.

I am having the SAME problem as well!! The mouse will move around but it will not allow me to double tap or click, and the two buttons on the touchpad stopped working as well. I have RE INSTALLED current drivers, ran diagnostics, restarted and even restored to an earlier point but NOTHING works!!! I am getting fed up with having to use a wired mouse some one PLEASE give us a solution and not make me regret getting a DELL.

Hello,

I seem to suffer from the exact same issue.

My service tag number is <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>. I bought my laptop in Israel, and I'm currently in the US for the next few weeks, hope to get it solved before going back - as it's really bothering my work with the laptop.

Thanks,

Effy

Completely the same issue with my 17R 5720. Have reinstalled BIOS, touchpad driver, run diagnostics - no errors... Nothing helps. Is there a solution or should I take it back to the shop?

Hi Ihor R.,

Welcome to the Community,

Is the indicator light on Touchpad turning on when you disable the touchpad(press Fn + F3 to enable/disable)?

Click Start  ->Control Panel->Hardware and Sound,Double Click Dell Touchpad to open the application and check if Touchpad is On or Off.

Try to uninstall the Touchpad driver from Device Manager and then reinstall the driver.

To uninstall go to Device Manager,expand Mouse and pointing device,right click on the Touchpad,click Uninstall,put check mark for delete driver software,click OK.

Reboot the system,download and reinstall the driver from this link below :

www.dell.com/.../inspiron-17r-5720

After installing reboot the system and check if it works.

Thank You

Hi Roshan L,

Thank you. The answers to your questions are as following:

>> Is the indicator light on Touchpad turning on when you disable the touchpad(press Fn + F3 to enable/disable)?

It's off and it doesn't change if Fn + F3 is pressed.

>> Click Start  ->Control Panel->Hardware and Sound,Double Click Dell Touchpad to open the application and check if Touchpad is On or Off.

Touchpad is On.

>> Try to uninstall the Touchpad driver from Device Manager and then reinstall the driver.

I can't see touchpad in the device manager, only the mouse, just like the guy above. That's the reason I went in this thread. Anyway, I have installed the driver you're pointing me to, reinstalled the BIOS, installed touchpad driver again. Doesn't help.

Could you please advise what to do next? How did you fix the problem of the OP? 

Thanks in advance.

Hi  waqar_u92,

Try to release flea power and then check how Touchpad works with AC adapter connected.To release flea power disconnect the AC adapter,disconnect all external peripherals(USB devices), remove battery,press and hold power button for 30 seconds.

Reconnect the battery and AC adapter and check Touchpad functionality.

If the issue persists try a different AC adapter(borrow from someone who uses a same watt Dell AC adapter).

Have you uninstalled and reinstalled the Touchpad driver?

Have you updated the BIOS?

Thank You

Hi Ihor,

Looks like a hardware problem as the Touchpad LED is not responding even after reinstalling the drivers and also the Touchpad is not getting detected in Device Manager. Most likely the Touchpad needs to be replaced.

Please private message me your System Service tag number along with your full name,address and phone number.To click on my user name and click start conversation.

I will check your system details and get back to you with repair options.

Thank You
