Actually, dust particles are always in the air around us and can get into the tiniest of spaces.

 

Touchpads can fail.

 

" some suggest restarting the battery"

I can't say that I understand what you mean by that. 

 

The Lithium Ion battery usually either works or it doesn't, unless it is failing.

A battery that is beginning to swell can cause touchpad problems.

 

Did you try the hardware reset that I suggested?

 

"However, I don’t know how to open the laptop because it’s so thin, and I’m afraid to damage it."

There is nothing wrong in recognizing that possibility and  realistically  knowing one's own limitations.  I respect that.

 

That is what we have laptop shops for and people  who like to disassemble and assemble devices, no matter how small.

I have no problem with opening a laptop, tablet or mobile phone, but that is because of my training.

 

Replacing the touchpad would involve an extensive disassembly of the laptop.

 

I suggest using a wireless mouse with a usb dongle or a wired mouse as a workaround so it won't interfere with your work.

 

It is too bad that this did not happen while the laptop was still in its one year warranty period.
