Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A200, the touchpad does not work, I can't move the mouse nor click at all. I tried FN + F7, F8, F9, all that and that did not work. I tried installing the drivers from Toshiba's site and that didn't work either. This is a fairly new laptop that I purchased from a university student from my university. He claims that the mouse worked before he gave it to me, and when he did give it to me I had opened it up to clear the CMOS. If he is not lying then I must have messed the touchpad at that time. Thinking that I re-opened the laptop several times to have the touchpad wire (the wire connecting the pointer to the motherboard) re-inserted several times but no luck.
Right now I am out of ideas, I'd like you guys to suggest what I should do. I'm fairly knowledgeable with computers, but this is my first time dealing with a laptop. My own guess is that I have damaged the wire that is connecting the touchpad to the laptop, if that's the case where would I be able to get a new one to replace it?
PS. I have Windows Vista running on this.
Please help me.
