My touchpad worked coming out the box. So maybe this one is defective. It has been a great machine. Maybe you just got a bad one.

If you're running Linux ( such as ubuntu ) I can help you. If its windows And it is out of the box that might be a manufacturer's defect.

I think you may have a problem with the touchpad. Mine works fine right out of the box. You shouldn't have to do anything to make it work.

I just ordered this laptop. I read those reviews about the trackpad too, but found recent reviews stating that there is an update for the trackpad at Dell, that solves the problem.

Touchpad is nice in itself but there are some problems you may run into. When typing, I have accidentally hit the trackpad many times and it stopped me from typing. Also, scrolling with two fingers is very clunky, and you are restricted to a scroll area on the side of the touchpad. I have none of these problems any more because I use a mouse. The power cord is fine, long.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I don't have this issue with my 725-0687. One way is to use a mouse, as this will avoid having to use the touchpad. Not a proper solution though, so I'd be inclined to complain to Amazon and ask for a return ticket for either a repair or a replacement.

I am not able to play video on my HP touchpad. If I try to play the most recently added videos , I get a "unable to connect message". However if I play something like Spongebob season 1 it plays normally. Any help would be appreaciated.

Sorry, no touch screen on this particular model. The mouse pad is touch but that should be obvious.

I haven't owned one of these for years, but I recall the touch screen working just fine. Windows 7 wasn't really designed for touch interaction so it will never be perfect. But if it's not working at all, that's another issue. My guess would be that you need to install a driver. That should be fairly easy to find on Dell's website. Of course, there may be a physical hardware issue as well Impossible to guess at this end. Best of luck with it. It is a neat little machine.

The same thing has happened to me... started on Wednesday. Have you had any luck troubleshooting? Some videos work still, others don't. It seems to me like the TouchPad needs a Flash update.

I just downloaded the software but didn't install it.Ordered the touchpad,I will be using it for a desktop which I would hope doesn't make a difference. Already have a Logitech wireless mouse which works well with the desktop,didn't have to install anything for that. Thanks for the info Ata.

I haven't had that exact issue but I did have problems with the mouse/track pad not working right all of the sudden and I called ASUS tech support and they had me re-install the drivers for it which fixed the problem immediately. Maybe you just need to re-install some keyboard drivers, call ASUS they will walk you through it step by step or find another solution. Good luck! 888-678-3688 or customer service 877-339-2787

D.Cheng reports he found adaptor. I did too. However, keyboard still does not work when connected. Can D.Cheng tell us how he made the keyboard functional???

try reseting it... if it doesn't work then it might be a problem with the device.

if you bought this item I would ship it back as quickly as possible it is one of the worse touchpad I have ever see. I bought this item for a Christmas gift last year and it had malfunctioned by February and when I sent it in to get it fixed they never sent it back to me or gave me my money back or even heard from them.

Yes, we had a problem with the touchpad being pressed while using the keyboard and USB mouse. Fortunately, there is a setting that automatically disables the touchpad whenever a USB mouse is plugged in. Also, we had to disable the Win 8 gestures on the touch pad, because it kept doing weird things like pulling up the Windows 8 sidebar (which we never use).
