Dell :: Latitude E5400 Palm/Touchpad
Apr 10, 2010
I've had a Dell E5400 running Windows 7 32-bit and the Dell ALPS touchpad driver from January 2010 for the past few months and I continue to have a problem with my palm touching something (I think the touchpad) while I typ
I was hoping someone could help me find a solution that doesn't involve disabling the touchpad.
Does anyone have some optimal settings for the ALPS driver that won't make this happen as much as it does?
I think the 3 settings that may relate to this are.

how I disable the touch-pad on my Latitude E5400 so that I can use an external mouse. I have a bad habit of brusing my touchpad with my palm and move the line on which I am typing to one elsewhere in the document.

I bought a D620 a while back and added complete care since I travel a lot.
About a month ago the computer was involved in an accident and was completely destroyed.
Today I got the word that my D620 most probably would be replaced by the E5400.

Recently got a Latitude E6400 w/ 2.66Ghz, 4GB RAM, nvidia 160m, 250GB (7200rpm). The left Palm rest is often very hot to keep my hand on it. I even use Antec Laptop cooler pad.

HDD - 42C
Temp1: 37C
Core 0: 32C

I've got a new Dell E5400 with a Crucial SSD drive it. After using my laptop for about 2-3 minutes the fan kicks on high.
Yet when I check the temps for the cpu and video card they are both pretty low. The fan stays on high for a good 10 minutes or

The E6400 would be great but it is way over my price range. With the current Dell's offering (35% off for E5400/D630).
I am seriously tempted by these two. I just want to know the difference between the E5400 and the D630...

I don't remember ordering a bluetooth option in my custom build E5400 but in the list it shows it. Do all E5400 come with some sort of bluetooth built into them now?

Do all Dell E5400 have a matte screen? I want a matte one not glossy. Also when I choose LED screen for my custom E5400 it would not let me. And in general how is this laptop for basic use?

One of the things that bugs me is the scroll down/up-swipe function; it doesnt allow for constant scrolling. Meaning, in most of the other laptops ive owned you would run your finger down the right side of the pad, the page would scroll but..
if you held your finger in the corner, the page would keep scrolling. On the Dells you have to keep swiping down to get to the bottom of the page (or use the circular scrolling motion) ....

Are Latitude D*20 or D*30 touch-pads compatible?
i.e D620 -> D820 etc.
I am looking into replacing a bad touchpad on a D820, I have found some deals on the touch-pads for other models specifically using a D830 for the D820 (I know the Bottom Base,
Motherboard, etc are not compatible but the touch-pads look identical from photos, wondering if they will mount up properly.)

The Vostro 1320 looks almost ideal for what I need (a pc easy to move around but can still serve as desktop replacement for most tasks). The matte screen is a big plus, as is the integrated optical drive. The price is also quite reasonable.
I however question his long term durability. I'd like to keep this laptop for around 4 years. Is the 5400 more susceptible to last that long ? It's a bit bigger but I'm ok with that, as long as there is a real quality difference. It's still smaller than my current 15"

Dear All
I've been using Dell Inspiron for more than 3 years. It had a nice touchpad driver with which i could assign shortcuts to all the four corners of touchpad (e.g., Maximizing a window, minimizing, closing, and running a special application etc.). Now i m used to those shortcuts but they are not available in the new drivers of Dell Latitude D830, that i recently got. Can anybody point to the D830 touchpad driver having this facility or any free third party utility for that?
Thanks

My Latitude E6410 Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine crashed yesterday and when it came back up I was no longer able to use the touch-pad buttons below the touchpad, or the middle button above the touchpad. The pointer stick, along with the right and left button above the touchpad are still working properly.
I have tried reinstalled the ALPS driver and the Dell touchpad software.When I open the touchpad software it shows the touchpad as being enabled but it does not show any configuration for the pointer stick or buttons above the touchpad. what driver or application I need to install to get my touchpad and buttons operational again?

This is not the newest topic but it's been well described that the Latitude E series' touchpad is crappy. With the launch of Windows 7, I thought that I'd give the new touchpad drivers a try. Still as crappy.
This is the worst touchpad and pointing stick that I can remember using on a laptop. Normally I wouldn't care, but actually having a terrible nav system really stinks more than I thought it would.
Well, my stop-gap solution was to simply remove the Dell touchpad drivers altogether and go native with whatever Windows 7 detected. What an amazing difference! The touchpad is usable now (it doesn't freeze and it tracks much better).....

I have a Dell Latitude E6430 and touch pad has not worked since day one I got it but I always have a mouse plugged into the USB so I never used the Touch pad since testing it on day one.
I download the Dell Diagnostic tool and ran it under the "Complete Setting" and everything back as passed.

I recently upgraded my Latitude D620 to windows 7 and now can't disable my touchpad. I've tried just about everything to disable it but have been unsuccessful.

I just upgraded my D630 from 32bit Vista to 64 bit Windows 7 (wiped the Vista off and clean install of 7). It's working very well, but the touchpad isn't fully functional. I have lost the scroll capability. Dell support says they haven't written a replacement driver and aren't sure that they ever will.

How do I disable the touch pad when using an external mouse?

Latitude E7240 has Touchpad Alps. All works fine except settings "Flick" (Gestures -> Multi Finger Gestures).
This setting works, but after some time (random period) stops working. To fix this I need restart Apoint.exe or go to settings, deselect Flick and select it again.
My laptop's BIOS has latest version A11 and all drivers installed from web site Dell.
Also, I tried to install Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 with touchpad drivers only, but this did not solve problem.

I have a Dell Latitude E6330 laptop and I recently replaced my hard drive as my old one had died--this was confirmed by the IT department at my school. After replacing the hard drive on my laptop, I found that the Fn+F5 command to disable my touchpad/touch stick was unresponsive. Upon further inspection, the touchpad button on my system tray was gone, and all touchpad related functions of my laptop were gone. In place of my touchpad (and all windows, settings, options, etc. ... that concerned it) was this ps/2 compatible mouse, which I am not allowed to disable.
I am a gamer and a student, and having my touchpad/touch stick enabled hinders my ability to type or play games as easily as I am used to due to misclicks. I used to be able to set my laptop to disable my touchpad (and other related hardware) automatically when I plugged in a USB mouse, and I would like to return to this setting if possible. How to do this without disabling the touchpad in the BIOS (as I do need to use my touchpad during lectures) ...

Mouse is jumping all over the screen - I believe because it is easy to accidentally brush the touchpad while typing.
The Control Panel - Mouse on this Latitude no longer has an option to independently enable/disable the touchpad and the pointing stick - but surely there is a way to do this on this e4300.
Am running XP - 32bit.

We recently purchased 40 units of the Latitude 3340 model. We have noticed on most of the new laptops when using the touchpad there will be frequent pauses in the cursor movement. It really affects the movement of the pointer. This behavior happens in the Bios, Factory image and our corporate image. It does not happen when we use an external mouse. Dell has replaced the touchpad on one unit and this has not worked. I am concerned that is may be an inherent hardware issue.
