    acer extensa 5420; had for one week, touchpad scroll no longer works and neither does scroll button below the touchpad.

    Reading other posts, there is no touchpad option under pointing devices in control panel; not sure what to try now.

Double click the icon in the toolbar. Click the device settings tab and then hit setting. select buttons in the list on the left side. Hit the plus sign(maximize) and select scroll up button action....scroll down button action...Etc. For each action select what you want it to do and just hit apply and move to the next. Once you have selected the action for scroll up, down , left, and right hit apply again just to be sure and try it. It should work. I just did it on my 5630 but Im assuming it works the same.

You need to go to www.synaptics.com , go to support and click drivers. After that, choose your operating system and go from there.

I deleted the touch pad and rebooted, it was reinstalled as new hardware and then started to work again.
Start-Control Panel-System-Hardware-Device Manager-Mic e and other pointing devices- click + -right click and delete touchpad- Reboot- Hardware reloads- Reboot.

    if you e-mail me with more details I'll try and look for you.

    1 make of laptop.

    2 operating system you are on.

    3 run dxdiag and save info from this on laptop and e-mail me with it and I'll see if I can find drivers for you.

    my e-mail address is [email protected]

    this is all I can sugest at moment.

My 4 way scroll works on & off, usually only doesn't work for a few hours or so, but it's REALLY annoying! Will that fix this problem as well?

for touchpad, try to remove the battery.
for 4way scroll pad, try to re-install drivers, you can download the driver from acerpanam. they call it, synaptic pointing driver.
