Accidentally disabled touchpad on Lenovo Thinkpad T15 - can't reenable

ru flag

I almost dropped my laptop, but I caught it! However, in catching it, I pressed a lot of buttons simultaneously. Now, my touchpad isn't working, and I have no idea how to reenable it.

I've found lots of similar questions, but the solutions don't work for me:

  1. Most questions about the Lenovo T15 laptop revolves around Windows, and I use Ubuntu.
  2. Must Ubuntu-related answers involve opening the mouse settings. My mouse and touchpad settings are fully enabled, so I suspect it's something hardware-related.
  3. Some answers state that there's a keyboard shortcut with an icon of a mousepad - I don't have that icon!

Any help is welcome. This is really annoying.

3: yes there is an Fn + functionkey combo to enable it. Probably Fn + F5.

This isn't really an answer, but I left it running for a few hours, and now it works. I really didn't do anything. But maybe this can help someone in the future: Just let it run unattended for a few hours - maybe it helps :-)

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
