Touch pad is stuck: I've had my Gigabeat for close to two years now and just recently the touch pad stuck (I cant select different modes) What do I need to do?

No, you're not. Unfortunately, this is a pretty common problem with this player, but it's also one that's easily fixed. Over time the battery inside the gigabeat will expand, and as it does so it presses more and more against the touchpad. There are two ways to fix this. One is to pop open the Gigabeat (pretty easy if you have a small set of screwdrivers, flip up the touchpad, and remove the two rubber pads on which the battery rests. Definitely try this one first. If that doesn't work, you can order a new battery online for about 30 bucks, and replacing it is easy. If you look at the battery the cord is plugged into a plastic housing. To remove just gently tug on the cord and it should come out. Once you've done that, just pop the new plug into that housing, charge it, and you should be good to go.

Try making sure its locked, go to settings and somewhere it lets you lock buttons and touch screen. make sure you are not pressing down the back/next buttons while holding it

You can bring it back by pressing the keyboard button as well. However, the issue I believe is that the touch and pen drivers turn off after while to conserve battery. You can disable it and it will always stay active.

Yes. Currently having trouble with touch pad though. Not loving this laptop much anymore. Buyer beware.

Cool... I struggled with this for a week. Could not find any reset button or hard reset. Turning the switch off for 15 seconds by holding my thump on the lower right corner of the screen. It asked with a message 'Do you want to erase user setup?' I pressed No and then it started working...What is this placing finger on the right bottom corner does, no idea. but it works! Thanks a million.

I've been buying PC's since before the Web was. This is the worst and most frustrating purchase I've ever made. As far as the touch pad goes, I finally figured out how to disable it. Unfortunately, I have to re-disable it every time I boot it up.

Yes, I have. The pad does not work at this very moment! I use a wireless mouse. Earlier this week, it did not work. I replaced the battery and it works again. Regarding the pad, have you tried the computer's built-in troubleshooting process?

No, first clean where the touchpad contacts the underlying circuit board. If this does not work, purchase a contact/ button repair kit to re-apply conductive material to underside of touchpad buttons.. Peace

I believe she is talking about upgrading the software to android (which now that hp has released an update to, some people don't find it to be an upgrade at all). She could also be talking about several software modifications that can speed up the touchpad.

I can't tell u why this is happening. I am having an issue with mines as well. The touchscreen on the corners no longer function.I have considered taking it to a Best Buy for inspection. Not happy with this purchase. I no longer use it.

Ok, so I just found out TODAY that Palm isn't making PDAs anymore. I understand they aren't the hip gadget anymore, but I use mine constantly everyday. I have used some form of a Palm Pilot since the Pilot 1000. I agree with the OP - I'm just baffled trying to think what in the world I will replace my TX with when it eventually dies.Any other suggestions??

Anyone have a problem with the mpuse pad....tried different drivers, but to no avail...when you use it it becomes very unstable...

I bought this touchpad for my windows 8 computer and had many difficulties with it because of the gestures settings.I would suggest returning this keypad and buying a more generic keypad. I wish I could be of more help.
