You should be able to find a setting there to disable the touchpad.Ĭlick to expand.Hello ease forgive me for being tardy in my response. The section on how to access the BIOS is on page 90. (Note: It's in PDF format, so Adobe Reader or some other PDF reader needs to be installed first) But it must be that it has been somehow installed as an integral part of Windows.Ĭlick "Manuals" and then click "Me And My Dell" so the on-line manual can load. I was so happy when I could type without any issues.
Here is what I did: I uninstalled the Touchpad. Since I was unable to take the action you suggested I tried another ploy, and that worked for a few days, but the problem resurfaced. If you still need it to be able to help me, I will provide it.
When I received your email, I hesitated to provide my service key, as it would feel like I was giving my identity away. Unfortunately, there is no page 90 in my manual, and a search didn't find BIOS anything. I set up my account when I bought the laptop and downloaded the user manual at that time. First, you are correct, I have the exact Inspiron 15R laptop you identified. Hello ease forgive me for being tardy in my response. What's the exact "service tag" number and/or "express service code" number on yours? You appear to actually have a Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 laptop. Turning on “Disable Touchpad & Point Stick when USB Mouse present” does not disable the touchpad. Because the touchpad will not turn off, I have tried to manage the buttons to turn down the sensitivity, to minimize movement of text. I have checked the drivers for both the touchpad and mouse and I get messages that they are each up to dateĢ. I can work these, but the Edge Scroll & Zoom buttons do not see to change the settings.ġ. Also this panel item allows me to manage sensitivity, buttons, gestures & edge scroll & zoom. There is an on/off light at the top of the touchpad that indicates the touchpad is on/off. Typed text re-locates within earlier typed text.ģ. Even when I don’t touch the touchpad, the cursor skips around the screen, highlights text and deletes text. Regardless whether it is in the on or off position, it is still on.Ģ. The touchpad will not “turn off.” Under "Mouse" on the Control Panel, functions for the Dell Touchpad should allow me to simply turn the touchpad on and off. I am using a wireless Logitech Mouse (uses USB hardware). I'm a first-time user and happy to have found your website!
