Beckyjlink Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Help! The mouse pad on my Packard Bell Easynote TJ71 had stopped working mid-flow. There is a red-lit icon at the top of the keyboard - pointing hand with +. I can use up and down arrows and enter, but can't get the arrow to move with the mouse pad. Quote
KenB Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Hi and welcome to ExTS If you plug in a USB mouse - does this perform normally ? Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
Plastic Nev Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Hi Becky, This actually might be a FN key related issue. With some laptops you can turn the mouse pad off when using a USB mouse. Look for a symbol similar to the mouse pad on one of the keys, usually the top row F keys, once you think you have it, try pressing and holding down the FN key then the other key that you find. In my case on a Toshiba it is the F9 key. Try that one first just in case it is a standard. See if that toggles the mouse pad back on. Nev. Quote Need help with your computer problems?

KenB Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I think Nev may be correct with this one. Mine is the blue Fn key + F7 Yours may be a different F key.
