Touchpad Problems in Dell G3579-5958BLK

Isn’t your laptop’s touchpad responding very well or did it stop working at all? Seeing any of these, you can’t really rest, no matter if you love to use an external mouse. Try the following steps one by one.

Use the laptop’s function key to enable the Touchpad functionality. For Dell laptops, the usual function key is F9. If nothing happens, try the next step.

Go to the Control Panel and re-enable the touchpad from there. Alternatively, you can go to the Dell Settings menu.

At times, update the driver may work. Also, rolling back to a previous version which was working properly may solve it. For doing any of them, you need to use the Device Manager.

Some users think that using a Linux Boot DVD to regain a laptop’s touchpad functionality is strange and risky. Well, a lot of people have success too.

You need to create a Linux boot CD or DVD. Use that to boot in Linux. Finally, boot back on your operating system.
