Any chance the touchpad is simply turned off? Some mfrs offer this ability. Is there a small light on in one of the corners of the touchpad? If there is, try tapping the touchpad in that corner to turn it back on.

Sometimes you need to press FN + one of the F top row keys together. Usually it’s a little square icon. Try them all until the touchpad works.
