Please make sure the Track Pad is not "turned off:" (HP Folio has a Track Pad on/off feature by double-tap in upper left hand corner)

1) Double tap the upper left corner of the Track Pad by the Amber LED

2a) If the LED is "On" then the Track Pad is "Off"

2b) If the LED is "Off" then the Track Pad is "On"
