Hello all,
I have a 4 yr old Toshiba laptop A25. The touchpad for the pointer started working intermittently. As if it was being somehow turned off, but I checkunder control panel and it is always on. The touchpad works sometimes when I powerup and other times it does not. it got worse happening more often over time. I never know when I power up if I am going to have to use an exernal mouse that day.Lately it is almost always. It is not showing "touchpad off" in control panel ever. Also now the keyboard is starting the same way the touchpad did. Now, every now and then neither the touch pad nor the keyboard will work at all, but if I quit,and wait a while, when I try again the keypad will work,but lately the touchpad never works anymore. I cannot figure out what the deal is.There are no viruses present. I also have tried using the restore disk, but all that did was make me loose all my files. Please help as I cant afford Geek squad with no warranty left.
Thanks!

Thank you for the 2 answers guys. But it is not the battery and it is not the hardware. there is some kind of glitch in the operating system that allows the touchpad and the keyboard to communicate with the cpu. thanks anyways though.. Can anyone else help me?

Four years old. That is about average. The keyboards (and the attached touchpads) on must laptops will wear out after about 3-4 years. Usually a new keyboard will run in the $50 range (by varies by model). And unfortunately they will not sell them to individuals, so you will have to take it in to a service center to be replaced. (And of course they will tack on labor cost.)
Good luck....
