I have personally tried this method on HP 4520s laptop running on Windows 10 operating system. I don’t know about other models but if you have one which has this problem and it is not an HP 4520s but running on windows 10, then you can use the same procedure to fix it. Read with me.
Step 1
The first step is to acquire an external mouse. You may argue that you can still use the keyboard, but I don’t know about that but if you are good with that then you are free to. The reason why you need an external mouse is that your trackpad is totally locked or disabled and can’t be used until it is enabled.
Step 2
Click on the windows key on the keyboard or you can click on the windows button in the taskbar to open the windows search. In the search bar, using your laptop keyboard, type “TOUCHPAD” you will see the PRECISION TOUCHPAD SETTINGS. Click on it and the touchpad settings will open up. Now, click on the “ADDITIONAL SETTINGS”
Step 3
Open the ADDITIONAL SETTINGS. A mouse properties window will pop up. Now under the mouse properties window, now click on the hardware tab. Under the hardware tab, click on the SYNAPTICS PS/2 PORT TOUCHPAD
Click on the OK button and then APPLY.
Step 4
Still, under the MOUSE PROPERTIES window, click on the DEVICE SETTINGS tab on the dashboard.
Click on the SYNAPTIC CLICKPAD as highlighted above. Now beneath it, click on the ENABLE tab, this will automatically enable your trackpad and you will hear the connection sound on the HP 4520s laptop.
The LED light on the trackpad will go off and your trackpad will be active again. Thanks all for reading. I hope this article has been so helpful to you.
