Hi slimmerkitty...

To fix an unresponsive touchpad on your laptop, reactivate it by using the Function key on the keyboard and the Fn key.
This process is different for each computer manufacturer.
If unsure which Function key enables and disables the touchpad, try each one at a time(F1,F2,F3) and then attempt to use the touchpad after each one.
A...Locate the "Fn" key of the laptop keyboard.
The "Fn" key has different colored text or the key is a different color.
B...Locate the function (F1 through F12) key at the top of the keyboard that disables or enables the touchpad on the laptop.
The key typically has an icon that resembles a touchpad with a finger touching it or a touchpad with a diagonal line through it.
C...Press both the "Fn" and touchpad Function key at the same time to reactive the touchpad on your laptop.
Move your finger along the touchpad to verify that it works. Press the combination at any time to disable the touchpad again.
Note: Mac computers use "F2" to enable and disable the touchpad.
Please take time to rate me

    This is not working! It works on fiagnostics but in safe mode or regular mode I can not log in! The keyboard and touch pad is frozen! I think its a virus is there anyway to bypass the log in screen?

Touchpad jumps inspiron mini

Click Start/Control Panel and adjust the mouse touchpad.

I would set it to the default settings. If it still acts crazy download and reinstall the drivers.

Get onlineand got to www.google.com In the google search box type: "DellSupport" (without the quotes and put your manufacturer name before Support). Look for downloads and drivers. Enter your model number and operatingsystem when requested. Download and install the Touchpad drivers.

When i turn on my dell inspiron mini screen to log in appears but my keyboard is not responding to let me log in -- help!

Almost sounds like the keyboard has gone bad. Try this: remove the battery and power cable.
Wait 30 seconds or so and put the battery back in. It may work now.
Also, when the system starts up, can you hit the F2 key to get into setup (at least I think it's the F2 key). If so, you may be able to load the BIOS defaults and it will work again.
Otherwise, you are looking at a repair job.
