Help : Touch sensor panel not working gt70 dragon edition 1

I have bought a gt70 dragon recently . Touch sensor was working fine . But after few days i reset the pc to default settings . Now i cant turn on cooler boost or any touch sensors . I'm using pre installed windows 8 . Do i need to install any drivers or something ?

Please help me out here .

 

LINK: MSI Global

scroll down and you will find what you need

 

Yeah, you'll need the drivers again. Be sure to double check your Device Manager for any yellow "!" as well.

 

More specifically, try this.......

If the touchbar is the only problem, reinstall the following from MSI's 'Utility' downloads, and you should be fine:

SCM

NVidia VGA OC Tool

 

already have installed scm and nvidia vga oc tool both . Is there any other solution . Or can i turn on my cooler boost fan manually ? Would really appreciate your help .

 

NVidia VGA OC Tool downloaded, it got installed and showing in the bar that it is enabled . but i cant run this application . is it normal ?

 

Guys help me out !!!!!!!! Help ! Help ! Help ! Help !

 

Ok, first of all, what GT70 model do you have specifically? This is why it is a good idea to have your notebook's configuration in your Signature. (look at the bottom of my post, my signature)

As far as the NV VGA OC tool, once installed it becomes one of your start-up items..... and there is no need to launch it. Also, you should see an icon for this in your Systray. This tool engages when you press the 'P1' button on your touch-bar, which launches TDE. If the tool is not installed, TDE will not function.

As to TurboFan, when you press this button on your touch-bar, the fan will spin-up to 100%. There really isn't any fan control..... TurboFan is either On or Off. Otherwise, just leave it to the notebook's automatic fan profile to do the job.

After installing the SCM utility, do all your touch-bar controls now work?

 

Hello mate, I have been having the same problem so basicly I went straight into MSI G70 DRAGON EDITION 2 Site i clicked on downloads and I RE DOWNLOADED THE FIRMWARE FULL COLOR BACKLIGHT KEYBOARD, I was shocked my Pc imidiately restart itself and it was working. Let me know if you will succeed

 

No luck. what did you do ? give me the link .

 

cheers my sensor pad works now, msi website is a joke though

 

thanks worked great for me also

 

Just shutdown your computer & unplug the power cable, then remove the battery and return it, then tun the laptop and it will work again, without downloading or reinstall windows, reply if it work

 

Hi, I know the topics a bit dated - are you saying you flashed the EC firmware and it fixed the issue?
I am wondering if the EC firmware can go bad on its own.
Did you flash the BIOS and then the EC firmware or just the EC firmware alone?

Thanks

 

EC normally doesn't go back unless force flashed to wrong version.
There's no specific order required to which firmware to be flashed first/last.

 

After visiting the GT70 site I verified that there are two keyboards so I presume you did indeed flash the EC firmware -- good information!

 

By the 3 or so people whose problem were fixed by this method (flashing the EC firmware) there is apparently some kind of issue with how the EC firmware is implemented/controlled and/or handshaking somewhere.
I would tend to agree that flashed data normally does not go bad but after seeing the flaky behavior involved I must conclude something in these setups is less than ideal.
Also the EC resetting method helping many (full power down) would seem to indicate that the volatile aspects of the EC are prone to some errors like anything else.

 

Thanks for the info Kevin on the BIOS/EC not needing any order to them.
