I am unable to enable my touchpad. The light on the touchpad is off, and when i press on the light, it does not re-light.

If you tap twice (quickly) on it?

Hello, thank you for your response, but it does not work after tapping twice. 😞 is there other way to activate the touch pad?

By the way, I also included pictures of my laptop notification.

 I am not sure if they are of any use, but if they do, please let me know what other details do you need.

By the way, I have also tried to restart my laptop but no changes. On my FN keys, there is no touchpad icon so i am not sure if FN key is able to enable touchpad. 

I haven't tried removing the batteries yet but don't think it will work neither, would it?

Hi!


What I know, that no fn keys for the touchpad.
Have you installed this?

You can switch it with the point 1:

And can disable it when you plug in a mouse:

The touchpad is on when the light is off. If you disable it, the amber light is on.
