Latitude E6400 Mousepad not working

I purchased a second hand E6400 laptop and loaded it up with Windows 7 professional.

The mousepad didn't work, so i couldn't click terms and conditions on installation. To get the Windows 7 to load up I went into the bios and clicked on "serial mouse" and this enabled me to load Windows 7.

Now I want to enable "Touchpad-PS/2" in bios to see if the touchpad will work.

The problem is after pressing "F2" to enter the bios the touchpad does not work (because it is turned off) and the USB mouse doesn't work whilst in the bios menu either, so I cant change the setting (no way to change the radio button setting).

Any help appreciated.

hi

you can change the settings in bios by using keyboard arrow keys.

I cant see how you can do this. The up and down arrow keys allow you to go up and down with the list on the left but once you find the category you want and press "return", the arrow keys have no further effect and you cant change radio buttons, If im missing something here please advise

Navigation Keystrokes
Action Keystroke
Expand and collapse field , left- or right-arrow key, or +/–
Expand or collapse all fields < >
Exit BIOS — Remain in Setup, Save/Exit, Discard/Exit
Change a setting Left or right-arrow key
Select field to change
Cancel modification
Reset defaults or Load Defaults menu option

Really strange you are not able to use the arrow keys on the right panel. Above are the descriptions.

How about the tab key??
