annoying problem with touchpad light
I Have XPS 15 L501X, and I have a problem with touchpad light and notification on the screen related to.
There is a on/off button provided for touchpad on the keyboard which you can activate or deactivate with.
When I press the on/off button to deactivate touchpad, light comes on, and I see notifcation on the screen - touchpad activated.
Same situation in other way, when I activate touchpad, light goes off and I see message - touchpad deactivated.
It's not such a big problem, but it's very annoying.
Can anyone help me to fix that abnormal functionality?

raru,
I thinkl that's what it's supposed to do. It's turning on the light to show it's disabled and it's also notifying you on the screen. I really didn't know what the orange light was for until i tried the button.

Hello Rick,
In my case both, light and notification appears wrong.
When I activate touchpad, there is a message: "touchpad deactivated", and when I deactivate touchpad, there is a message: "touchpad activated"
So it's the other way round!
I'm not sure how it should be with light, but I know how I want to have it: touchpan on = light on, touchpad off = light off, and correct notification on the screen.
How I can change that?

raru,
Touchpad deavtivated, orange light on
touchpad activated, orange light off.
If this is incorrect, then contact Dell Support.

Without shouting about it, I, too, would like the sense of the touchpad light to be reversed. I want the light on when the touchpad is on, and vice versa. Is there any way to accomplish this? I have an XPS L702X.
