Hello
So I just realised that my mouse is almost broken (twisted wire problem) So I decided to order a new one, but I still tryed the mousepad
just in case my mouse breaks before the new one arrives
But then, I realised that the mousepad won't turn on.
Usually, all Ive got to do to turn it on is to press FN+F9, but nothing occurs
Anyone can help me please?
thanks :)

Really shadow?

Anyways, have you tried f9 by itself? Also does your keyboard have a numbpad? If so you can turn on mouse keys in Windows. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14204/windows-7-use-mouse-keys-to-move-mouse-pointer

Its also entirely possible to activate this feature without a mouse

meh, its a bit too complicated for me that keypad/mousepad
Also, the F9 button alone doesnt work

Few months ago, I could easily activate deactivate the mousepad by pressing FN F9
but then, I sent it for repair (the screen border were broken), since then, I can't use the mousepad anymore
maybe it's due to that?
I didn't bother before, but now, I think I'll need it soon

Whoever fixed your laptop probably fucked up the mousepad and didn't notice. I recommend going to a used electronics shop and buying a super cheap mouse

yea well, I think I'll buy a mouse right now and hope my old one dont break before it arrives
The tech probably forgot to plug in the touchpad upon reassembly, ive done it plenty of times myself :X

anyways a quick lookup on disassembly for the GL553/GL753 link shows that ribbon cable is easily accessible (closest to him & closest to touchpad).

Note: If you are going to be doing upgrades or are going to unplug any hardware, first unplug the battery
