    As many of you may well know, the new cs series (mine cs110d) comes with this cool, albeit somewhat useless, av touch control just above the regular keyboard. The problem is, it isn't working. Started a couple days ago, no idea what happened, but i suspect that the driver is corrupt for some reason or other, the central button, or icon, "AV MODE" still works, but the rest is unresponsive. Can anybody give any pointers as to where to find a new driver, or better yet what is this thing within the device management tool? Much thanks.

    How to fix if the touchpad sensor that controls the volume does not work?

    Question:
    Touch Sensor that controls the volume, AV Mode, play, fast forward and rewind has stopped working.

    Answer:
    Reinstall the Synaptics Pointing Driver (Touchpad) when this symptom occurs.
    1. Click Start
    2. Click My Computer
    3. Double-click Local Disk C:
    4. Double-click Windows folder
    5. Double-click Drivers folder
    6. Double-click Pointing Driver (Synaptics)
    7a. Double-click on Setup to install the file (C:\Windows\Drivers\Pointing Driver\Setup.exe


    I found this while surfing around looking for some other info on the Cs series. Even though it's from Asia-Pacific it doesn't require a download, so I would try this. Next option is to take it in for service. Good luck.
