The scroll on your laptop is controlled by the trackpad installed on the system. If you are having problems with the scroll on your laptop's trackpad, there is something you can do before you take it into a computer repair shop. Updating the driver to the trackpad will enable the scroll if it is not working at all. Once the driver is updated, your scroll should work again. You can access the driver through the Device Manager on your laptop.
