1455819 2018-11-22 00:37:00 Found a possible solution on the Toshiba Forums. Also double check or try the F5 Key, some toshibas use that.


Try swiping on the touchpad from right to left. This will bring up the little sidebar on the right of the screen and the date on the lower left in Windows 8. Then your touchpad should work as normal. F5 is the button to lock the touchpad. If your problem goes beyond that and is stuck in scroll mode like mine was, try the swipe from right to left and see if that normalizes things. I discovered this trick by accident when trying to wipe dust off my touchpad. ;)

1455821 2018-11-22 03:59:00 I have a Toshiba Tecra laptop. Just above the touchpad there is a small key to turn on or off the touchpad or a USB connected mouse. Is that your problem? Bryan (147)

1455823 2018-11-22 08:20:00 Do you have a users manual? If not you possibly could download a pdf copy from Toshiba as I did. It might be helpful. Bryan (147)
1455824 2018-11-22 08:27:00 Will try that Max (8180)
