no. I can plug in my mp4 player...

Ok. Before you do that lets try something real quick. Colapse the tree your on. Highlight The "universal Serial Bus Controllers".


Then your going to need to right click.

To right click with a keyboard hold down the "shift" key and then press F10.

A box should open. Highlight scan for hardware changes and press enter.

It seems to be working... Guess I need to invest in a mouse to see if it really works...

Awesome. The power of the internet works again :)

Glad its working.


In that same place "device manager" you should be able to check on your touchpad and buttons.

Let me know if you need help.

Also don't forget. Dell has a diagnostic utility for your laptop.

Not always. If the laptop has a third-party utility then it won't always be listed in device manager. I recently worked on one that wasn't listed under device manager or anything until I downloaded the touchpad utility...

Did the USB's quit or are we now talking about the touch pad and buttons?

Both. The USB's never worked... They are reading but not actually letting anything work..

Did the diagnostic program on that link tell you anything at all ?

Did you say you tried an External USB Mouse?
