It seems like you touch-pad has been disabled from your keyboard. You can check your keys from F1 to F12 and see where is the touch-pad icon on which key. So all you need to do is to hold that key by pressing Fn key. In this way your touch-pad will be enabled.

"it is usually the fn + f9 key to fix it...

i made the mistake last time of pressing the fn + f9 too many times and there was a lot of ""static energy build up in the motherboard...""

I called the Asus support and this is how they fixed it

first they had me shut the laptop all the way down

then I held the power off button for thirty seconds(to remove static energy from motherboard)

then I turned laptop on again by pressing powerbutton

it took me to a blue screen

I was advised to press f9 key(optimized defaults) and press yes

then I was advised to press f10 to save configuration and press yes

then the laptop started back up

my touchpad still wasn't working but I was advised to press the fn button down and then tap f9 key one more time and... voila!!

hopefully that helps"

"hello mate

I just tried and it worked the actual way is press fn+left touchpad button(left click)+touch pad function key."

I had this issue of my touchpad not working (no cursor or ability to click anything). The keyboard shortcut didn't work and I tried updating the driver but it didn't work either. What did work: I opened "Device Manager". I went to view and hit "Show hidden devices". The grayed out devices are the ones not functioning. Under human interface devices a few weren't working. The driver for "Input configuration device" was the root problem. I held it and hit the option to uninstall it and restarted my computer. The computer automatically re-installed the driver and everything works!
