Touchpad stops responding

[ashpire]

I have a problem with the touchpad and its buttons on my A110, sometimes it just completely stops to respond to any movements. Then sometimes it starts working normally again after a while, but not always. Fn+F7 doesn't help. When the touchpad gets stuck, the pc sometimes shuts itself down (!), (but usually not). I tried ubuntu and win xp, and the problem appeared there too, and also already during setup. A usb-mouse works perfectly.

So does anyone have any ideas what I should do?

This is really weird, mine just started doing the same thing. I checked to see if there is a new driver available, but the one I'm using is the latest one. If anybody has a clue please let us know.

Bump!

For me I think this happens a little bit more when the compter is connecter to the charger. I'm not sure but it fees like it happens a little bit less when the pc is running just on battery, but maybe it just feels so.
Any ideas on how to fix it would be appriciated

My track pad just quit all together, I reboot and it still would not work, then I shut down and pulled the battery out for about 5 min. That got it working again which tells me its hardware related and not software or drivers. Maybe a bios issue, I'm running 3309 right now, which version are you using? I would really like to get to the bottom of this, otherwise I will be sending it back to Acer.

have you ever opened it? done any mods?

No....
I've bought it yesterday. Worked fine with Linux....but after installing XP not anymore:(

well then it most definetily has to be a driver problem..checked the bios for any nessessary changes you have to perhaps make? (i dont know if there is a turn touchpad on in the bios) (what aao did you get the 110 or 150 with the 120gb/160gb?)

also, you said you tried Fn + Fkey right?
does it happen when you plug in a mouse?
what does it show on device manager? maybe its detecting something else as your touchpad?
when you installed the touch pad drivers did you install them on the correct devicE?

I have bios 3109, maybe I should upgrade it..
