AN515-52 Touchpad Synaptics or ElanTech

MaxGamer

Recently installed windows using ISO and now I am not able to get the Precision Touched drivers working again. Tried to install both ElanTech and synaptics drivers from Acer. Both of them are not working and even tried Advanced Touchpad from Bios with both of the drivers but no luck.

Hi MaxGamer,

Changing touchpad settings including enabling Precision touchpad settings
To change the touchpad settings to suit your personal requirements, please do the following.
1.In the icon tray in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, select the Notifications icon to open the Notifications pane.
2.Select All settings.
3.Select Devices > Mouse & touchpad.
4.Now you can adjust the settings to suit your personal needs. You can change the primary button for left- or right-handed use, turn the touchpad off if you prefer to use a mouse, or set a delay to prevent the cursor from moving if you accidentally tap the touchpad with your palm while working. Scroll down to see more settings.

Thank you for your reply.

The thing is that the touch is not recognised as a precision touchpad. So in the Touchpad settings I only have one option of sensitivity and nothing else.

Hi MaxGamer,
 Thank you for your response. Has the precision touchpad worked ever since you installed the new OS

No it has not. I am trying to get it working on the new OS.

Hi,
If that is the case then its not an issue with the touchpad. Its an issue with the OS. You may have to consider to go back to the OS that was originally there in this computers.Or else you may have to buy a RCD from acer store.
