I’m sorry you can’t get this working. Is there any bios update for this laptop?
I’m not sure. I’m checking.
What is the output of this command.
dmesg | grep -i elan
While it is working or when it isn’t working?
What do you mean it works sometimes? I didn’t know that. Just right now and let me know if it is or isn’t. I just want to see the output.
It works after a minute or so after it boots when not connected to power. If I connect it to the power cord the computer freezes after a few minutes.
For this session I had booted it when connected to power (but unplugged it) and have a mouse plugged in:
dmesg | grep -i elan
shows no output at all what so ever.
With power cord plugged in:
Warm Boot:_________________________ works, then freezes
Cold Boot: __________________________ doesn’t work
Wait 1 min with power cord
unplugged then plugging it in again:_______works then freezes
With power cord not plugged in:
Warm Boot:__________________________works
Cold Boot:___________________________doesn’t work
Wait 1 min. then Cold Boot
don’t plug it in afterward:________________works
Well the only thing i have for you to look over is this. You can make your own judgement on it.

I have a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad, and this solved my touchpad not working upon reboot.
Hi @Chronoshift
Did you solve your problem with the touchpad?
Will you please share what you did (if you solved it)
Thank you
