Go into device manager and uninstall the driver for the touch pad. At the top of device manager, on the tool bar, select "scan for hardware changes". After it finishes, reboot the computer. Let me know if that works for you.

I did all of that and mine is not giving me anything highlighted under the device manager. 😞 I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but still nothing. Any other ideas. It just stopped working one day and I don't know why. The computer has been well taken care of.

again if the light is on try this too

 

gently double tap the light

 

tap tap right on the light

 

if you get it right it will go out

 

You are not squashing an ant

 

A very light double tap is all that is required.
