I have lenovo n500 and the touch pad is not responding

It most likely has something conductive around the edges. Clean the pad with a cloth or paper towel that has 99% isopropyl alcohol on it. Use something like a toothpick to push the cloth or paper right into the edges. Once it is clean, and completely dry, try again. If it still doesn't work you may need to check the connection inside the laptop.

HI there press FN key as well as F7/F8/F9 key. One of the F key mark by touch pad. Just press that by pressing FN key. Thanks.

I do. Open the Lenovo 3000 N500 Notebook PC, and un-stick it.

You need the Service Manual.
Lenovo calls it an HMM.
Hardware Maintenance Manual

Below is the Lenovo Support link for the download page, for the Lenovo 3000 N500's Hardware Maintenance Manual. The Top file listed is the one you want.

Either the site is updating right now, or Lenovo no longer offers this manual. Clicking on the file does no good.

No big deal.

Copy this link, paste it into your address bar, and press the Enter key.
It's a direct link to the HMM file.

Hi!
- you can do this thru the Mouse properties
- go to control panel, look for & click the mouse icon
- on Mouse properties, got o the TAP Tab
- near the bottom area, Under Tapping, put a check on "TAP OFF while typing"


Hopr this helps.. :D

Hi richardta683 , since you are using N500 you can call their 24/7 tech support at 1-800-426-7378. They will certainly help you on your concern.

Hope this helps...

The mouse pad maybe faulty or the ribbon cable from the mouse pad to the motherboard may not be properly connected. Reseat this cable.
You can connect an USB optical mouse to the laptop. I prefer you use a USB mouse all the time over the mouse pad.

I had the same problem. There is a touchpad on the laptop, just above the Pause button, which turns the pad on and off. It is situated on the far right hand side (there are also touch buttons for the volume controls there), between the N500 logo and where the power supply jack fits in.

you need to go to device manager...
right click "my Computer"
select "manage"
select "device manager"
click the + sign for "mice and other pointing devices"
select your touch pad...

try to enable it or find what is wrong from there

You'll need a USB mouse or something of that ilk to do it.

good luck

You have a button just to do that simle task, its un the upper right side and it has a touchpad on it, press it, looks like a display but its a button :)
