[Solved] Touchpad detected but not longer work

I'm using my laptop (and my touchpad) for years.
Today my touchpad does't work and does't send any signal to linux.

libinput debug-events

-event7   DEVICE_ADDED     Toshiba input device              seat0 default group9  cap:k

(it prints nothing, if I touch or press the touchpad)

I tried different distribution, also Ubuntu, already installed years ago in another partition.
It seems hardware problem, but if I run Windows partition, touchpad return to work.

I tried to go in suspand mode and return.
I tried to press button to active touchpad (it never workd, but I tried...)

Another command i tried:

xinput list

Re: [Solved] Touchpad detected but not longer work

Make sure you have Windows 'fast boot' disabled.


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

I tried now to reactive 'fast boot', reboot, disable 'fast boot', reboot, but it still doesn't work.
I tried to disable touchpad in win partition and reboot. Enable and reboot. Nothing.

This problem appeared only reboot in arch partition. I don't use Windows for months.

It's a mystery sad

Re: [Solved] Touchpad detected but not longer work

I solved my problem!

What I did?

  1. Reboot system

  2. Press F2 for enter in BIOS

  3. Press FN+F5 (key sequence to activate/deactivate the touchpad in my pc)

  4. Press F10 to Save and Exit

  5. Reboot and... TouchPad work again!

Terrible days, but all is well what ends well smile
Thanks to all

Re: [Solved] Touchpad detected but not longer work

Sorry for answering to this Solved topic, but I may have experienced a related issue and I hope by adding some information I can make this easier to find for others and also add an alternative "resolution".

Suddenly (after updating the kernel to 5.11.16 and waking from standby) I have noticed very strange problem with my Thinkpad E470:

1. The trackpoint buttons suddenly did not work (they worked before)
2. When I touch the Trackpoint even a little, the Touchpad instantly stops reacting completely
3. Reloading the psmouse kernel module reverts to the previous state (Touchpad working, trackpoint not)

This can be reproduced deterministically. It also survived two reboots of Arch linux.

I rebooted into windows (dual boot laptop) and there everything worked just as normal. Rebooting back to Arch linux and suddenly there also works everything fine again. So somehow booting into windows once fixed the problem. Maybe a cold boot would have also helped, but unfortunately i didn't try that before booting windows.

I have not been able to trigger the problem again (now on kernel 5.12.5).
