Touchpad not working on HP laptop

The tiny area indicated with an arrow here is actually the switch for turning off the touch pad. Tapping here switches the touch pad off, after which, a dim amber light glows to let you know.



A tiny dot in the upper right corner is actually a sensor for switching the touch pad off. Double-tapping brings up an onscreen indicator that tells you the touch pad is disabled, and the tiny dot on the pad lights up with an amber glow. It's a handy feature, but if you're using the laptop in a bright room, the indicator light is easy to miss, and it might lead novice users to wonder why the pad suddenly stopped working.
