Ok so, see subject.
I'm guessing there might be a hotkey control but I haven't been
able to find anything on the web about it. Just the one to shut
off the touchpad.
Maybe someone else might have better luck searching for a clue.
It was working, and very well I might add but it stopped.
I did reboot so I'm going to check the startups see if anything of
interest shows up there.
Hi Kate,
Seriousl long shot, and I'm sure you've tried it already, but..?..
Just the one to shut off the touchpad.
Try that to turn it back on?
It seems somewhat reasonable the touch screen would be turned 'off'
after a boot (reduces inadvertant 'stuff'). So...
The only other thing I can think of is hardware issue. So, possibly
the button is 'sticky?' So do a buch of gentle twisty, pokiey,
flexy actions to the touchpad while pushing that button?
Best,
Michael

Ok sooo Ali, Michael, humans, AIs and others.
The touchscreen is working again.

I booted up and did the tappy, giggling thing with the buttons so many
times but nothing happened. This time, something happened. Not sure
what.
Going to keep rebooting and see when it fails.
Clearly there are either laptop germlins, or MIB involved.
I will entertain any other theories.
Kate
You caught Murphy, of all those laws, drinking your last beer and threw
him out?
Last time he did that to me, I put a DOA bounty on him, haven't had any
trouble I could blame on him since.
Stay safe and well Kate.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
