Hi @RemnantMan,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To unlock the touchpad on your HP G60-441us laptop without using a mouse, you can try the following methods:

Keyboard Shortcut: HP laptops often have a function key to enable or disable the touchpad. Look for a key on your keyboard with a touchpad icon, which might be on one of the function keys (like F6 or F7). You usually need to press this key in combination with the Fn key to toggle the touchpad on or off.

Enable Via BIOS:

• Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS setup by pressing a key during the boot process (common keys are F10, F2, or Esc).
• Once in the BIOS menu, look for a section related to hardware configuration or integrated peripherals.
• Find the option for the touchpad and ensure it is set to Enabled.
• Save your changes and exit the BIOS. This should reactivate the touchpad if it was disabled at the BIOS level.

Hardware Button: Some laptops include a physical button near the touchpad that can enable or disable it. Check around your touchpad to see if there's such a button on your model.

Control Panel Settings (if you can navigate with keyboard shortcuts):

• Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog.
• Type control and press Enter to open the Control Panel.
• Use arrow keys to navigate to "Hardware and Sound" and then to "Mouse" under "Devices and Printers".
• This will open the Mouse Properties window. Use Tab to navigate through the tabs and settings.
• Look for a tab related to the touchpad (named after the touchpad manufacturer like Synaptics or ELAN).
• Ensure the touchpad is enabled within these settings.

Use Windows Settings (if you can navigate with keyboard shortcuts):

• Press Windows Key to open the Start menu and then type "touchpad" to search for touchpad settings.
• Navigate to Touchpad settings using arrow keys and press Enter.
• Ensure the toggle for the touchpad is set to On.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
