Software

Check drivers are good in DeviceManager:

Type devmgmt.msc in Start Menu. Delete Touchpad but not the drivers. Then at Menu click Action and "Scan for hardware changes". The drivers will be re-installed by Windows. Touchpad should work now. If not check below.

Try booting up in Safe Mode and see if it works there. If all is fine some other software could be interfering with the TouchPad's drivers.

Hardware

Check that all connections are secure:

If still not working then you may have to replace the TouchPad.

Here is one possible source but pick your own:

TBH I'd just tap a lead and buy a nVidia unit if I needed parts ;). Dead or alive, I'd canabilize one of those.

The motherboard instantly devalues them to the parts bin, so I would have everything but a heatsink and motherboard to play with for future spare parts too.
