Dell :: Inspiron 1545 Touchpad, Bluetooth And Blu-ray Not Working

Aug 12, 2009

Purolator dropped off the laptop today and I was quite excited. I tried the Bluray and it's definitely worth the extra money. However, some things are going wrong.

First, the damn touchpad sucks. I want Synaptics back. But at this point all I can do is BAWW about it, so whatever. But when I try to install the drivers, the cursor flips out every time I touch the pad at all. It goes all over the screen in random directions.

Second, my bluetooth doesn't seem to be working. I installed the drivers on Windows Vista and Windows 7, but neither of them yielded results. The drivers install without a problem and then tell me to enable Bluetooth using the radio button. The radio button is already enabled, as Wi-Fi is working, but there is still no Bluetooth option in the Control Panel or anywhere else for that matter.

Third, Bluray movies seem to not work with WMP. What's the problem? If it's not supported, what program do you guys suggest I use for Bluray movies?

Fourth, no matter what I do, Catalyst Control Center just won't install. The drivers are there, but CCC just won't work at all, let alone show up in my desktop context menu.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Touchpad Stopped Working For No Apparent Reason

Feb 7, 2013

The touchpad on my dell inspiron 1545 has stopped working for no apparent reason. The left and right buttons still work. An external mouse works and I was able to check my touchpad settings using it, the touchpad settings all appear to be in order and I verified it was enabled. I can't understand why the touchpad suddenly stopped working...

I'm using Windows Vista.

Dell :: Unresponsive Touchpad On Inspiron 1545

May 22, 2009

I have a brand new Dell Insprion 1545. Everything has been good on it, and then all the sudden today the touchpad became totally unresponsive.

The pointer doesn't move AT ALL when the touchpad is touched. Luckily, I have a USB mouse, but having to use it kind of takes away the portability.

but it's entirely possible that I made some sort of stupid error or changed some setting to make the touchpad unresponsive.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Touchpad Is So Sensitive

Dec 9, 2014

I have a Inspiron 1545 and the touchpad is so sensitive that when I am typing, if my thumb touches the pad it usually moves the curser somewhere else on the screen and I continue typing in the middle of a different sentence.Is it possible to switch off the touchpad as I use a mouse almost 100% of the time on it?

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Touchpad Driver Keeps Disappearing

Apr 8, 2013

My touchpad driver keeps disappearing and its the only way I can disable the touchpad - I much prefer to use the mouse and I am a touch typist so the touchpad is a nuisance.  Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to find a win 8 touchpad driver or other way of disabling the touchpad - win 8 even on a standard laptop is magic and has improved my older laptop no end but its now annoying me due the limitation of drivers and the fact that the only way one can disable the pad is via the driver settings?

Dell :: 2 Finger Scrolling, Alps Touchpad, Inspiron 1545

Sep 17, 2009

I recently bought an Inspiron 1545 and absolutely cannot stand not being able to 2-finger scroll. The "side pad" function works poorly at best, and is so undependable that I am resorted to using a mouse whenever possible.

How on earth can I get my Inspiron 1545 with an Alps touchpad to have 2 finger scrolling similar to Mac systems? Is it even possible?

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Disabling Touchpad Running Vista?

Feb 15, 2013

I need disabling my touch pad. I have tried everything but the right way!  Maybe it is not possible with this hunk of junk, but I can no longer tolerate it.  Inspiron 1545 running Vista? Because every answer I have gotten so far, is from people who have something else and trying to apply the directions that they use.  It doesn't work mine.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Touchpad Left Half Can Only Respond To Up / Down Finger Movements

Mar 30, 2013

Laptop 3 years old and touchpad slowly stopped responding one night.

Downloaded new driver (ALPS Touchpad v7.1007.115.102. A05) no less than 3 times and had a partial success. Now right half of touchpad is ok but left half can only respond to up/down finger movements.

Run Dell diagnostics and all hardware is ok.

Run a full antiVirus scan and ok. Laptop says new driver is ok and running ok.

Touchpad does not work in BIOS and done a full diagnostic check and said the touchpad is fine!

Use of mouse is ok so not the end of the world!

Back to factory settings?

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Windows 8 - Both Mouse And Touchpad Operate Cursor - Disable Button Inactive

Apr 15, 2013

I wish to disable the touch pad on my Inspiron 1545 with Windows 8.. I have a Logitech wireless mouse.  Currently both the mouse and the touch pad operate the curser.  I want to only use the mouse. In Windows 7 the default was mouse only as soon as the wireless interface was installed. This is not the case with Windows 8.

I've been told to go to the Device driver and select the touch pad under Mouse and other pointers.  The touch pad is not listed. I've tried disabling the PC Mouse compatible but the disable button is inactive.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: E Folder Is Almost Full - Change Drive Letter Not Working

Nov 20, 2014

My Recovery E: Folder is full -- 31.9MB free of 14.6GB - Windows Vista. I keep getting pop ups/messages saying that my E: folder is almost full, and occasionally that I should close my internet browser so I don't lose information. 

Some of them discussions said to go into the E: folder and delete files which should be there (can't access it the folder -- there's only a warning message) or to change the Drive Letter (get a message that says it cannot remove "the letter drive of your volume", and now I'm not sure what I should do next.

Dell Inspiron 1545 :: Start Up Repair Not Working - Click Finish To Exit

Apr 25, 2011

My computer was being used by my girlfriend to watch some show.  During her use, my computer "freaked up" and she had to manually shut it down.  Now whenever I turn on my computer, it goes to my normal log-in page but instead of my password boz coming up, a gray window comes up.  It reads:

"Start Up Repair. Windows cannot repair this computer automatically.If you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer.  If you continue to see this message, contact you system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance, Click Finish to exit and shut down your computer.

Dell Inspiron M5030 :: Touchpad Not Working

Apr 20, 2013

I am having issues with my touchpad not working, I have gone through most of the troubleshooting tips such as hitting touchpad enable/disable hotkey, turning of the laptop and holding down the power button for 15 seconds, and downloading the suggested driver.  The most distressing thing is that when I go the mouse hardware/driver, the only thing that the computer is recognizing is the usb mouse I am having to use.

Dell Inspiron 17R :: Touchpad Is No Longer Working

Dec 29, 2014

Touch pad is no longer working.  I have had my Dell Inspiron 17R for abut 15 months and the touchpad has not worked for at least 12 of them.  At first I noticed the problem after my computer would install updates and I'd have to restore the computer to a particular snapshot point.  That worked for all of one week.  Then I also checked the drivers.  That was unsuccessful.  I have also tried pressing F3 + Fn and nothing.  I won't begin to mention that I have to hold this laptop a particular way to get it to turn on.... I do know, the touchpad on a basically new laptop is supposed to work and the device is supposed to turn on when you press the power button without having to do some form of sorcery.

Brand new laptop, received yesterday. Plugged in a USB mouse today. All was fine until I unplugged it - now the laptop's touchpad will not work, despite the fact that as far as the computer is concerned, it is enabled (have gone through control panel, touchpad controls, etc. - everything thinks the touchpad is enabled). Drivers are up to date. Mouse works fine when I plug it back in, but cannot get the touchpad functioning.

Dell Inspiron 5547 :: Touchpad Working Then Stopped Responding

Dec 5, 2014

I have a new Inspiron 5547 w/Windows 7, everything is working well except for the Touchpad.  Initially the touchpad was working fine, then it stopped responding, only when I attached a USB mouse could I use the laptop.  I re-installed drivers and the Touchpad worked correctly again. A few days later, the trackpad stopped working again....reinstalled drivers yet again and everything worked fine. Now for the 3rd time in 4 days the trackpad is not working. Is this a hardware or Windows 7 Issue?
