Hello,

For the past two days, my touchpad buttons have not been working. I cleaned the underside as I was advised before, but it didn't work...

Moreover, it's not just the left and right clicks of the touchpad that are not functioning, but also a small "mouse" located in the middle of my keyboard that isn't working anymore...

What should I do??

Hi, try to find the drivers (drivers) for your hardware (for the touchpad, I think it's Synaptics, for the trackball (I think the "mouse" is a small ball that rotates 360°) I don't know, but it might be resolved at the same time (the ups and downs of computing), but otherwise, check with your PC manufacturer (if it’s Windows), your Mac (if it’s Mac), or your machine (if it’s Linux). To install them (on Windows), they are either in ".zip" format or ".exe". For the ".exe" (the easiest), you just need to run it (double click). If it doesn't work, it's because you are on Windows 8 and the driver is not signed; in that case, there are plenty of tutorials explaining how to install them. If it's in ".zip", you need to right-click on "Computer" (or "My Computer" before Windows 7) and click on "Manage". Then, go to "Device Manager", then click on the arrow in front of "Mice and other pointing devices" and right-click on "Mouse (with something written after)" then click on "Properties". In the new window that just opened, click on the "Driver" tab then on "Update Driver". Next, click on "Browse my computer for driver software" then search for the ".zip" file and select it, then press Enter. There may be the same problem as with the ".exe", so if it doesn't work, you'll need to find a tutorial on the internet (there are really a lot).
I hope that helped you.

Thank you for your reply, I just restarted my computer and the keys are working again. The "trackball" still doesn’t work (which isn't a big deal since I never really use it, to be honest) so I will look for a driver for that.

Hi,

Go to the All Drivers website and perform an analysis after installing their plugin.
If a driver is available, it will be written in blue.

Ok, so the drivers must not have loaded at the Windows startup, which prevented the touchpad and trackball from working properly. If it works normally after installation or magically (you never know), don't forget to mark the topic as resolved.
