is the touchpad turn on? I believe in your laptop the combination is Fn+F11.

and if that doesn’t do a thing, is it listed in your input devices? go to a terminal and run:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

if it’s detected it should show up somewhere in a line where it says something like:

I: Bus=00zz Vendor=000z Product=000z Version=0000
N: Name=“Manufacturer Touchpad”
P: Phys=isa0000/serio0/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serioz/input/inputz
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event1
B: PROP=5
B: EV=
B: KEY=
B: ABS=

Yes, combination is Fn+F11.

Thank you! Now its working!:)))
Unbelievable! But, I solve it!

  1. you need run:
    sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

  2. then add to this file:
    blacklist i2c_hid

  3. after that run :
    sudo depmod -a

  4. and finally:
    sudo mkinitrd

And it will work!!! (After reboot)
