Acer chromebook 514 touchpad not working

filip_the_user

I have been using my chromebook 514 fo almost 2 weeks, suddenly my touchpad stopped working properly. When i click (not tap), it works, however i cant move cursor. USB mouse works. I already tried powerwash, which didnt work out.
Does anyone have any idea what could I do?
I would rather have this solved on my own, than sending it back to the shop.

Hi .
 Follow the Step and check .

Change how your touchpad works

You can tap your touchpad to click, or change the direction you scroll. Here's how:

1. At the bottom right, select the time.
2. Select Settings .
3. In the "Device" section, select Touchpad (or Touchpad and mouse).
4. Change how your touchpad works:
   • Turn tap-to-click on or off
   • Turn on tap dragging
   • Swap your primary mouse button, if you use a mouse
   • Adjust how quickly your pointer moves: Move the sliders next to "Touchpad speed" or "Mouse speed"
   • Choose type of scrolling: Traditional (swipe up to move page down) or Australian (swipe up to move page up)

Fix touchpad problems

If your touchpad stops working, try these steps:

• Make sure there is no dust or dirt on the touchpad.
• Press the Esc key several times.
• Drumroll your fingers on the touchpad for ten seconds.
• Turn your Chromebook off, then back on again.
• Perform a hard reset.
• If you have more than one account on your Chromebook, delete the account that has problems with the touchpad, then re-add the account.

Thank you, I tried all of this before asking .
Suprisingly the problem fixed by itself after 2 powerwashes and over night.
Still have no idea what happened.
