Have you checked Youtube for tutorials on how to check if you have the correct drivers install, whether or not the device is recognized by the operating system etc. Have you checked the Owner's Manual to see if there is a hardware switch to turn the touchpad on/off? Another way to double check whether the unit needs repairing is to try booting a Linux version like Ubuntu on the computer. There is no need to actually install Ubuntu as it can be booted and used from a bootable USB stick. See https://ubuntu.com and https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tu... for more details. It could also be a case that a connector has come loose inside the computer so that the touchpad doesn't actually need replacing. Better to check out all possible solutions as much as you can before starting to take your computer apart.
Was this answer helpful?
Thanks i might check it out later
so i just check it. right now i'm writing this on try ubuntu and still my touchpad did not work. already update the driver tho. but i remember this, my brother said "the ribbon cable on the touchpad was damaged". so yeah anyway do you have any online tutorial on how to replace it tho?. btw Thank you for atleast trying.
@Bodybody Great to hear that! Suggest you go to Youtube and search with "asus k53e-bbr3 teardown" (or similar). I watched a teardown video from there (though I have no idea exactly which one it was now) to see how complicated it was to replace the touchpad on your computer. My suggestion of using Ubuntu to confirm that the touchpad was actually needing replacing was because of the complexity of performing that action,iirc. Anyways, you are welcome and good luck with your endeavours. :-)
