    Hello,

     

    Have you tried to install one of the touchpad drivers (Elantech or Synaptics)?

    Hello,

     

    First you can check the bios version like this:

    1. Press [Win key]+[R]
    2. Type msconfig32.exe in the box and [Enter]
    3. Check the value of "Bios version/Date"

    He just had msconfig and msinfo32 cofused. Use the latter.

    I also have the same problem.

    Touchpad is not working. Then if I try to disable and re-enable the touchpad, the whole keyboard does not work afterwards. I had to restart the computer to bring back the keyboard to function again.

    I am now using the latest BIOS (v1.16) from the website for the Windows 10.

    Open Device Manager. At the top click View>Show Hidden Devices. Does the TouchPad appear ? (probably under Human Interface Devices). If so double click on it and there may be an error listed in Device status. What is the status please and what driver was it trying to use ?

    La solución es la siguiente:
    - Entrar a la Pàgina Oficial de Acer y Buscar nuestros respectivos Drivers de Acer E5-411
    - En la sección Bios, Instalar la segunda actualización del Bios que dice "Fix Touchpad"
    - Una vez instalado, entramos a la Bios, donde buscando nos aparecerá la opción Touchpad (Estará en Avanzado, la cambiaremos a Básico)
    Y listo, así se activa el Touchpad al brincar de Windows 8.1 a Windows 10 en Acer E5-411.
    El que hasta el momento aún no logro activar es el Lector de Memorias SD.
    Saludos.

    In spanish say this: Actualmente, este dispositivo de hardware no está conectado al equipo. (Código 45)
    Para solucionar el problema, vuelve a conectar este dispositivo de hardware al equipo.
    Is like, The hardware is not connected to the pc, try to connect that, but this should be connect

    hi did you your problem already? if not here is the way to disable the battery check when updating bios.

    1. Run the downloaded Bios file, you will get an error like "No battery" or "Low battery" or "Need at least 15%"  , stay on the error dialogue (!) do not close it
    2. Navigate to your current users temp directory %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp, there should be somewhere a temporary directory containing the extracted files from the EXE file (for me it was 7zS4A88.tmp) its always on the top list.
    3. Copy the folder of that temp directory somewhere (I suggest paste it in desktop), do not close the Temp folder yet. close the error dialogue first, then you will notice the temp files will be disapear. (meaning you copied the correct folder)
    4. Open the file platform.ini with a text editor or notepad inside the folder that you just copied and hit Ctrl+F and type to search BatteryCheck
    5. Change parameter BatteryCheck from 1 to 0 or just. 0 means disable (this disables battery check during BIOS update preparation!), save the file
    6. Then in the same folder Run as administrator the file InsydeFlash.exe or whatever the file name is. just make sure the icon of the file is like grey square with the green character in it, and make sure it's .exe file
    7. That's it, bios update should start now
    8. Then pray while bios is updating because if the power is out or you unplug the power cable accidentally while bios is updating, the motherboard will no longer usable.  Good luck!
