Hey, guys. Recently my touchpad went out on my Predator (PH315-51) to the point where I had to mash the touchpad button to make it do anything. So I broke down a bought a new touchpad to replace it. I've built gaming PCs before, so I know what I'm doing there, however after replacing the pad, it doesn't work PERIODE. I took it to the GeekSquad who looked over it for about 30-45 minutes and couldn't resolve the issue. I've spent hours installing different drivers (including the drivers here on the Acer site, of which are the only ones my machine WON'T install because "tHey'Re thE wRonG drivers for my machine" which is BS). I've tried all the other "eAsY 1-2-3 sTeps" the internet says, but still nothing. I even paid for DriverFix which said "driver needed updating", while Device manager said it was all up to date. Frankly I'm tired of wasting time; my PC is my work and I need to get this fixed. Otherwise, I'll just have to put the old touchpad on and pray that it works. I feel that I can't be the only one to have this issue and I KNOW that someone out there has fixed this issue before, (otherwise they wouldn't sell replacement parts). What step am I missing? Any help at all would be much appreciated.
