Touch pad and indicator lights not working

I’m sorry to hear that your Toshiba Satellite E55 laptop was dropped and the touchpad and indicator lights are not working.

Ive had the same problem with my laptop before and i just opened up to back removed everything and clean everything with a microfiber towel. i only reccomend you do this after eerything below doesnt work.

Here are some possible solutions you can try:

• Check if the touchpad is disabled by a function key combination. Look for a key with an image of a touchpad on your keyboard and press it. You may need to press the Fn key at the same time. This should enable or disable the touchpad. If there is no response, try the next solution.
• Check if the touchpad driver is faulty or outdated. Go to the Toshiba website from this link¹ and enter your laptop’s model number and operating system. Download and install the latest touchpad driver and restart your laptop. See if the touchpad works now. If not, try the next solution.
• Run the hardware troubleshooter to detect and fix any problems with your touchpad. Connect an external USB mouse to your laptop and follow these steps²:
  • Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot
  • Scroll down and click Hardware and Devices
  • Click Run the Troubleshooter
  • When complete, restart your laptop and see if the touchpad works.
• Check if the indicator lights are connected properly to the motherboard. You may need to open up your laptop and inspect the wires and connectors for any damage or loose connections. If you are not comfortable doing this, you can take your laptop to a professional repair service. You can also refer to this guide³ for some tips on how to repair your Toshiba Satellite laptop.
