Also on this laptop you can hit Fn+F6 to enable or disable the touchpad as well there should be a touchpad disable button to the right of the power button that can be very easy to accidentally press.

Hi there...

First of all has the touch pad ever worked?

Lets give this a try, go to the START button and left click, look for the CONTROL PANEL and double click on it.

When the Control Panel opens look for the MOUSE and double click to open page, on the tabs look for ULTRANAV, you should see a check mark box, ensure that there is a check mark under the Enable Touch Pad, hit the APPLY and OK.

Voila, your touch pad should start working.

First check: Control Panel -> Mouse -> TouchPad On/Off

Second check for a button near the mouse pad, often there are buttons that will enable/disable the touchpad

Thrid use the shortcut key FN+F9(or what ever F key that is used by your laptop) to disable/enable the TouchPad.

Fourth try this software: http://www.kingzm.com/eng/files/download/MouseManager.zip

Fith
- Select Start, Settings, Control panel.
- Open System, click on Hardware, and Device Manager.
- Expand "Mice and other pointing devices", and double click on the entry below, that may be called "HID-Compliant mouse", or "Alps Pointing Device".
- Under "Device usage", choose "Do not use this device in the current hardware profile (disable)", and click OK.
