how to get laptop touchpad to work again?!?

if all else fails, what ever you comp is be it dell, packard, acer etc etc. go to their site down load the current touch pad driver for your laptop and reinstall it....=]

first try to go to your control panel, system, device manager and see if you see the device there. click on its properties and see if you have an enable disable option. the first suggestion will work what ever the problem is, short of a defective touch pad.

did you alter any settings? if yoyu did visit the administration panel and good click on the icon of a mouse or touchpad and sroll right down to settings and you ought to grasp what to do from there. in case you didnt substitute any settings you're able to besides pay to get it fastened and regardless of you do dont hit it

should be a small button located centrally above the touch-pad. Depress it and it should switch back on. The lighted indicator should turn from red to green. Depends on your brand of computer though.

Start button, control panel, mouse, device settings tab up top. Enable.

Log off, turn off/power off then restart and all will work after system reloads.

It's nothing you can do yourself, time to take it to someone (not best buy they rob you) to be fixed. and that will teach you to be as overprotective with your laptop as you would a baby or an injured baby animal.
