Touch pad not working on Lenovo T400

[Moltke]

Tried again with cutting and pasting using the USB mouse then disconnected it before pressing enter. So nothing listed re: touch pad.

Might this mean that perhaps the touch pad is simply dead?

Hard to say but it might as well be the case. Sorry but I'm out of ideas here, looks like it might require some "on-site" assistance, meaning someone has to take a look in the laptop and see whether or not the touchpad is in fact dead or something else is keeping it from woking i.e some missing driver.
