HP Probook – how to turn keypad mouse back on - keypad, mouse not working

HP Probook – how to turn keypad mouse back on when you accidentally turned if off.

This Trick works for ProBooks 5000 and 6000 series.
If you have accidentally disabled your Touchpad, you will see a Yellow LED light on the top left of the pad.

Double tapping the top left corner of the Touchpad
(where the yellow LED is ) toggles the pad On.
If it is On, it will turn it Off.

When it is off - you can only navigate your computer via keyboard commands, which makes it very difficult to get around, or you can navigate with a USB / wireless mouse.
This happened to a customer of mine and I found the fix on an HP Forum.

Hope this helped you.
