I was watching a video on my laptop and the touchpad just stopped working. Everything else seemed to work, so I rebooted and the touchpad’s still dead. I fished out a Bluetooth mouse and that works fine. Thought it might have been accidentally turned off in the settings, so I checked but the touchpad isn’t even listed in the settings any more. I then ran `cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -i touchpad` and there’s no output. `Operating System: Ubuntu 25.10` `Kernel: Linux 6.17.0-12-generic` `Architecture: x86-64` `Hardware Vendor: Framework` `Hardware Model: Laptop 16 `_`AMD Ryzen 7040 Series`_ `Firmware Version: 04.03` `Firmware Date: Mon 2025-12-22` `Firmware Age: 1month 2w 3d` ---

Are you using a 3d printed touchpad frame? ---

Has also happened to me a number of times in the last few weeks. I _think_ it was after i updated my keyboard and bios to 4.whatever. I end up doing a restart and it’s back. Once i restarted and after it flicked over to the bios welcome image, it then had a message about ‘cannot find any touchpad’ or something message! I ended up disconnecting the touchpad and then connecting it back and it was ok agian. i’m on windows 11. i’ve also tried to remove the touchpad _while windows is running_ (when it suddenly stops working) and re-install it back .. and it’s still not working. BTW, i’m using a Razor mouse 99% of the time (i’m also connected to mains + a docking hub 99% of the time) ---

Then you might have a different problem than I did. But it couldn’t hurt to try a resolution that worked for me. Power off. Then, tap the power button in about 1 second intervals, powering on/off/on/off a bunch of times, like at least 10. Then boot up and see if it works again. ---
