I accidentally spilled water on my laptop yesterday so immediately wiped it off and turned it off for a few minutes. I turned it on to see if there were issues but saw that there was none. I was using a bluetooth mouse while using it and the cursor was moving and can click things. But after a few minutes, I tried the touchpad and saw that the cursor moves but doesn't click anything. I turned it off and searched for solutions . So I put my laptop upside down while placing rice on its keyboard and touchpad for 7 hours. I checked it again but it still doesn't work. I put it back upside down with rice again and hope that it works. Will my touchpad work again? I really need help.

Thank you for the fast reply. No, I don't have wired mouse but I'm using wireless mouse. Last time I thought I was using bluetooth mouse but it was wireless. It works fine when I use the wireless one but my touchpad still just moves but can't click up until now. Does this mean there's something wrong with the touchpad itself?

Firstly, perform Windows Update and HP Support Assistant: (do not skip any troubleshooting steps if you feel steps are repeating) 

To check for updates now, select the Start button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update, and select Check for updates.

Install updates from HP Support Assistant: Go to Download HP Support Assistant to install the tool.

  2. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.
  3. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.
  4. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.
  5. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.
