Sometimes there is a function key that will enable/disable the touchpad. [usually you have to press fn+'whatever key'] On some systems, it can also be controled in BIOS.

One other thing you could try is booting off of a live Linux CD, to see if it will work in a different OS.

Hi Westin how are you doing its been long..

Well this laptop does not have any key for disabling and enabling the Keypad.

and can you give me a like from where i can run the live linux version

This is a very small distro:

Just download the ISO, and then write that image to a CD. If you have trouble with that one, you could always use Ubuntu [ubuntu.com] or knoppix [knoppix.net].

Hi Westin,

I tried Fedora(Linux) the TouchPad does not works on it too.
Dont know what can be the issue.

Can you guide me in this

Thanks
KK

Check the bios and reset to default settings. Save settings and exit.

^^ I second brokencrow's suggestion. Could be a BIOS setting.

HI Westin and Brokentcrow,

I got it fixed by making the bios setting to default and it worked for me

Thanks a lot
U guyz saved me from having a useless boring weekend of transfer the data and formatting the system.

Thank
KK

Awesome. Glad we could help!

Just curious, KK, what kind of bluetooth device were you trying to install?
Some generic USB device? I've not messed with bluetooth on a laptop or
PC.

Hardware issues can be perplexing, so going back to 'baseline' is checking
or toggling the bios settings. Figured from your description that laptop is
too new to lose the touchpad totally.

Glad that worked. Don't tell anybody, but I just guessed on this one. ;^)

Hi Brokencrow,

Bluetooth in built in Sony vaio,

You know even i was certain and needed to post this on a new thread but since the topic is broken i will like to give the details about it.

As you told me to use fedora live(Linux).
I used the Linux and turned the bluetooth it worked just fine.
the same thing when i used on the Pre-Installed Windows-7 Home Basic. it says BlueTooth device not found.

Hi there KK please check out:

Your Sony laptop has an inbuilt BlueTooth adapter and supports the technology, as you have already proved with the Linux boot disk.

You need to set the device up in Windows 7.
