Anyway, did you try enabling the trackpad? Maybe Fn+9 or something. That seems to be ASUS command. Since it is "onboard" it may bypass the faulty I/O bus (of course, it may not).

Didn't work

E93 burnout over laptop

bimmette When you list "human interface devices", what do you see (or post a pic)? Maybe we can use the touchscreen to get the trackpad activated. I am thinking maybe it was inactive since you were using an external mouse.

On a serious note, back up your stuff, call Asus and yell at them.


If you need to type something out, but don't want to reinstall Word, use Google Docs.

Drive fast (topless of course) and hurl it out the roof, while on a bridge.

I gave up at that point. It's been 3 hours and I need to eat lunch. I've re-started again and will try that in a few minutes.

If its any consolation, know that I recently went through two different hard drives in the span of about a week. I had this computer with a really frustrating keyboard layout / trackpad and got so frustrated one time I pounded the keyboard with my fist. Turns out, not such a good idea, hard drive died immediately as did the computer. That was hard drive #1.

My buddy put a new hard drive in there for me and a few days later, I forgot about how hard drive number #1 tragically departed this world and hammered the keyboard in anger yet again. That was hard drive #2.

At this point my buddy said he had a connection coming up with some laptops designed for falls / military uses and suggested that might be more my style.

Turns out, it is. It is a little more bulky, but so far, I have not destroyed it, though I'm also on my best behaviour with it too...almost.

Tara, if the things old, start looking for a new one.

you could, and I would laugh, although I'm not dry cleaning anyone's clothes in this thread. I thought that was the point?

how new is it? When I first got an ASUS, I thought it was badass. The specs were killer. Then the next day it crapped out. Changed out to an Acer. Much better.

Less than two years. Ok ok not that new but there's no way I'm buying a new one.

Thanks for trying to help, everyone. I gave up. Heading to the library and hoping there's a computer available!

Nerd.



Good luck, I suspect there is a new computer coming in your not too distant future. I also suspect it won't be an Ass-us.
