Touchpad not working post installation

I had arch installed on my pc, running very well and smoothly, but when I was updatong the packages, the cpu temperature went above threshold, and the system shutdowned middle installation, and the system crashed. So I deleted arch and installed debian, just to try it. It happens that, when the installation was complete, everything was working fine, except for the touchpad which was not working. So, again, I deleted debian, and installed arch. After the installation of the SO and the update of the drivers and such, the touchpad is still not working. Does anyone know how to fix it?

My synaptics config file

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "touchpad"
    Driver "synaptics"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        Option "TapButton1" "1"
        Option "TapButton2" "3"
        Option "TapButton3" "2"
        Option "VertEdgeScroll" "on"
        Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "on"
        Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "on"
        Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "on"
        Option "CircularScrolling" "on"
        Option "CircScrollTrigger" "2"
        Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" "40"
        Option "EmulateTwoFingerMinW" "8"
        Option "CoastingSpeed" "0"
        Option "FingerLow" "30"
        Option "FingerHigh" "50"
        Option "MaxTapTime" "125"
        ...
EndSection

And my xinput --list output

Re: Touchpad not working post installation

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

Tip: xf86-input-synaptics is in maintenance mode and is no longer updated. If possible, use libinput. It implements a different approach to recognize and process multitouch features.

Already have libinput installed as well, and the touchpad is still not working.

Re: Touchpad not working post installation

Well, I would remove synaptics completely to avoid conflict. But considering that it also didn't work with Debian nor when you reinstalled Arch, along with the CPU temp problems, it sounds like a hardware issue.

Re: Touchpad not working post installation

Already removed synaptics and nothing. Maybe it is an hardware issue.
