Disabled Finger Touchpad by Accident

Hello.

I have the Dell Inspiron 3135, Series 3000 and while cleaning I must have hit a combination of buttons or something because now my finger touchpad does not work. I am stuck with navigating through the touchscreen. What keys do I hit to turn the touchpad back on?

Hi Sjzimmerman

There are two ways to enable / disable the Touchpad.

  1. Press + to enable or disable the Touchpad.
    OR
  2. Double click the Touchpad icon in the system tray
  3. Disable it on the application window by clicking Touchpad On/Off.

Please let me know if this helps.

Are you sure you're talking about the Inspiron 3135 - 3000?

  1. Fn-F3 activates the FIND box & does nothing to the mouse pad.
  2. Can't find the Touchpad icon in my sys-tray
  3. Not sure I understand this.

Please help!  I'm always hitting the touchpad with my thumbs as I type & it messes up so many things!  I've never owned a laptop that didn't have the ability to toggle off the touchpad.

Please see my post 

"Inspiron 3135 hot key to disable touch (mouse) pad."
