First diagnostic sequence

Do the high-signal checks before risky changes

  1. 1

    Confirm the touchpad is not disabled by key/settings

  2. 2

    Test simple pointer/click behavior before gestures

  3. 3

    Use OEM/OS settings for gesture-specific failures

What DeviceOK/browser can help check
  • Observe pointer movement/click/drag produced by the touchpad
What this browser page cannot prove

  • Read OEM touchpad firmware settings
