Connect an external USB mouse to get at least the cursor to work, then download the latest touch pad drivers from Acer's site
Check that you have not disabled the mouse pad (FN and F7?)
If that fails, you may need to dismantle the laptop and check the small ribbon cable that connects the touch pad to the motherboard has not come adrift.
After that it looks like physical failure of the trackpad / touch pad assembly
If you are using the touch pad and the cursor will not move, you may want to try and use a mouse. The touch pad on your computer may have worn out. If the mouse works, it may be your pad.
Please check to make sure that touch pad button is on. If the mouse will not move the cursor, your drivers may have been corrupted and you have to download new drivers after uninstalling the old one. Which one you download will depend on what type of computer you have.
Make certain the driver for your touchpad is running- usually it is synaptic- would be found under syntpenh.exe in your task manager. Make certain it is enabled in the mouse properties. If that does not work, then connect an external mouse and then disconnect it... sometimes that kicks the service back into starting correctly
if it works with a mouse plugged in you might have accidently turned the mouse pad off, use FN key and on mine it's F7 to turn it off and on. hope this works for you
Sounds like the touch pad is not working anymore. try using a USB mouse and see if that works. also, see if you can reinstall the touch pad software to fix that.
check your key bord is working if it is working then you need touch pad drivers if you have other usb mouse you can check it with usb port of laptop if its work then you can solve this issue with touchpad drivers installation.
you can download your drivers from this link just select your odel from here.
Go to the 'start' button and then hit the 'control panel' option, then click 'mouse' then go to 'Device Settings' and then to the 'settings'. When you get to this screen it shows a list on lthe left hand side choose the 'tapping' option and then ok.
In windows xp go into start menu, then into control panel then click on appearance and themes, then move your mouse over to mouse pointers click on it , uncheck "enhance pointer precision, and click apply, that will stop the mouse from acting crazy, this will work with dell mouse pointers and most.
