It is embarrassing when you work several hours on your computer, specifically on your laptop, doing some hard work and then suddenly, your laptop's touchpad became unresponsive. Have you tried to do everything just to make it work but still, nothing happens?
Most of the modernized laptops these days come with a touchpad mouse built into the computer. If you had tried to use the touchpad and the mouse pointer on screen is unresponsive, expect the worst, maybe you or anybody else had accidentally disable the touchpad using one of the Function keys without knowing that those keys were the reason and has the capability to disable and would be the reason why your touchpad mouse is unresponsive.
To fix an unresponsive touchpad on your laptop, you need to re-enable or reactivate it again using the Function Keys on your laptops keyboard. This is done when you know the exact Function key to make it work again since this process varies on the kinds/different computer laptop manufacturer.
The following are the things needed to be done in order to reactivate the inactive touchpad on your laptop.
1. You should locate the "Fn" key in the lower right or left corner of the laptop keyboard. This "Fn" key
typically has different colored text in it.
2. After locating the "Fn" key, you now need to locate the function key (F1 to F12) key at the top of the
keyboard that disables or enables the touchpad on the laptop. This key usually has an icon that
resembles a touchpad with a finger touching it or a touchpad with a diagonal line through it.
3. If you already located the specific keys needed to reactivate/re-enable your disabled touchpad, you need
to press the "Fn" key and the touchpad Function key simultaneously to reactivate the touchpad on
your laptop. Verify that its working by moving your finger on the touchpad. Press the combination
anytime to disable the touchpad again.
