I can start it in safe mode, but am not able to do anything. try plugging in a usb mouse that you can use to get into the device manage and see if computer is even detecting the touch pad anymore. if not, could be a bad touch pad, bad connection, or bad chip on the motherboard that receives the touchpad input |
