#DELL LATITUDE TOUCHPAD NOT WORKING DRIVERS#

That got me thinking that 'if' one of the software packages was able to disable the pointstick buttons, then maybe the touchpad would work just fine.ДЄfter way too much time playing around, I finally found a software driver package I was happy with enough to call it good and that was the Windows 7 ењ†4 Input drivers for the Latitude E6410 which will work just fine on the Dell Latitude E6400. What I figured out was that various drivers would make the touchpad work the way it was supposed to but as soon as you hit one of the pointstick buttons, the touchpad would completely freeze up and quit working. I later gave up on this path and instead opted for an official Dell driver for the Dell Latitude D6410 instead because it has the necessary software to disable the PointStick which turns out to be the problem. I've had luck finding drivers there that work just fine. I decided to dig into drivers a bit to see what I could muster up.ДЄt first, I went to the windows catalog update where all drivers are available. He said the hardware was fine so that pointed to a driver issue.

Google didn't really help much in the way of figuring out how to fix the touchpad for the E6400 on Windows 10 but I did manage to run across a post where someone had the same symptoms I was having and mentioned installing Linux to test the hardware. Later though, after deciding to offload the computer, I figured it wasn't very nice of me to sell a laptop with a wonky touchpad, so I dove into it further. It would hang, the left click would actually be the right click but the right click wouldn't do anything, neither button would work, right click did nothing but left click worked fine, you name it not to mention the pointer was painfully slow to move around the screen.ДЄt first, I was going to just leave the wonky nature and chalked it up-to a hardware problem. I simply installed an external mouse to get past the problem of installation and figured I would see how it did once fully booted into Windows.Д®ven in Windows 10, I had wonky issues.

One thing I noticed from the get-go, was that the touchpad was extremely wonky, even during the Windows PE or Windows 10 installation environment. Surprisingly, that computer for its age, doesn't do half bad on Windows 10 once you throw a decent SSD into it. I recently had the 'fun' of working on a Dell Latitude E6400 and getting Windows 10 installed on it.
