    fn+F12 switches the touchpad on and off.

    I have the exact same problem: enabling /disabling scroll lock (fn+f12) did not solve the problem.

     

    I see the driver is from 2006… newer drivers maybe? where I can find them? thank you

    I have had this issue several times, especially when after doing some updates, or sleep.

    I generally solved this by rebooting into the BIOS (alt-F4 to get power off options in Windows) and making a minor change and back again then saving the BIOS setup (and shut down – not reboot) then restart from cold and then everything back to normal.

    Give that a try.

    This is resolved even easier on Linux. No need to enter BIOS. Just run these two commands in a terminal window and the touchpad should be restored to working:
    sudo modprobe -rv i2c_hid
    sudo modprobe -v i2c_hid
