Method 1. Re-enable your Touchpad
Your laptop touchpad may have been accidentally turned off. To fix this problem, you need to re-enable your touchpad to be able to use it.
On most Acer laptops, press and hold the Fn key and then press the F6 or F7 key (the function key with a touchpad icon on it). After using this key combination, check to see if you’re able to use your touchpad.
If it doesn’t work, move onto the next method.
Method 2. Changing Touchpad Settings from BIOS
In some situations, the error might happen if the Acer Touchpad is set to use advanced configuration to run its drivers. So you will be disabling the Touchpad Advanced configuration and setting it to basic. Here are the steps to enable Touchpad from BIOS configuration:
1. Restart your computer and before it boots up, press the “F2” or “Del” key to access bios on Acer laptop.
