My Father purchased me a refurbished Gateway cx 2610 notebook. I am currently in Iraq and its great for keeping in touch ect. This morning I woke and the touchpad is nonresponsive. I attempted to restore the system to an earlier date through system tools to a date I knew it worked but no progress. I'm using an external mouse. Any help out there?
Thanks

All you need to do to get your touchscreen pad working again is go to the F6 key at the top and it turns on and off your pad! May accidentally hit it!All you need to do to get your touchscreen pad working again is go to the F6 key at the top and it turns on and off your pad! May accidentally hit it!

Re: Touch Pad Problems
Check for new drivers for the touch pad out on Gateway's website and maybe check in BIOS to be sure that when you plug in an external mouse it doesn't disable the touch pad. Some laptops only let you do one or the other. Also if there is any software for the touchpad aside from drivers try reinstalling that also.

Touchpad settings: right click on the touchpad icon on the Taskbar at the bottom right of the screen. Click on Default button, then Apply, then OK. Re-try. If that doesn't fix, then TouchPad ribbon inside the laptop needs to be replaced.
There is a touch pad toggel button on the top of the keyboard press it and turn the light off , touch padd will work
Touchpad toggle
Turns the touchpad on and off.
Check in the control panel under mouse. There should be a setting to enable tapping. If there is a touch pad icon on the bottom right of the screen you can also right click on that and select options.
Thank you mewms_14904. The problem was the F key. In my case it was F7 that enables and disables the glide pad of my notebook.By pressing fn key and then F7 solved my case.
