If your Acer Aspire 5740 cannot detect any touchpad device or the touchpad does not work at all, there might be no compatible driver software installed into your computer system. Please install/reinstall the touchpad driver software for this device to work properly. If you do not have the driver, you can download it here:
- Touchpad Driver from Synaptics
- Touchpad Driver from ALPS
The other driver software for this device can be downloaded here:
