Hello all,

just recently the touchpad on my Z60m (2529-FZU) stopped working.

It is turned on under BIOS but under Windows (with drivers and utility installed) it tells me the software needs to be installed.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but with the same results.

If I have both the trackpoint and touchpad enabled under the BIOS, none of them work, if I turn off the touchpad and leave the trackpoint on, the trackpoint works fine, if I turn off the trackpoint and turn on the touchpad the touchpad still doesn't work.

I have the latest BIOS update installed also.

I even tried reinstalling Windows hoping it would help, but it didn't.

Does it sound like I need to replace the touchpad/palmrest part or does it sound more serious?

They're both well connected to the motherboard, not loose at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

thanks for replying.

Yes, the drivers/software are installed.

When I press FN+F8, the message "UltraNav drivers are not installed..." or something like that, comes up on the screen.

I'm just hopping it's a touchpad problem and not the motherboard.

As I mentioned, the Trackpoint does work when enabled by itself (with the touchpad disabled).

Thanks.

Here is the list of drivers relevant to your laptop. Install the ultranav utility and drivers. 

All drivers/software ARE installed.

Thanks.
