Laptop touchpad mystery solved

The touch pad on our Toshiba Satellite laptop had suddenly stopped working. That was a bummer, because it's our first laptop and we've had it less than three months.

It turns out there's a function key combination to turn the track pad on and off. A simple FN + F9 set things right, and the laptop is back to 100% functionality.

I don't know why you would want to turn the touch pad off. Anyway, I'm glad I thought to check that before doing anything more drastic.
