Hi @dipu5 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

The yellow light on your HP laptop's touchpad typically indicates whether the touchpad is locked or unlocked. If it's not turning on, here are some steps to troubleshoot:

Double-Tap the Top Left Corner:

• On many HP laptops, the yellow light is toggled by double-tapping the top-left corner of the touchpad. Try this to see if the light activates.

Check Touchpad Settings:

• Open Settings > Devices > Touchpad and ensure the touchpad is enabled. If it's disabled, toggle it back on.

Update Touchpad Drivers:

• Open Device Manager by pressing Windows + R, typing devmgmt.msc, and hitting Enter.
• Expand Human Interface Devices and right-click on the touchpad driver. Select Update Driver to ensure it's up to date.

Perform a Hardware Test:

• Use the built-in HP Diagnostics tool to check for any hardware issues with the touchpad. This can help identify if the light is malfunctioning.

Restart Your Laptop:

• Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve minor glitches with hardware components like the touchpad.
