Fix touchpad problems
If your touchpad stops working, try these steps:
- Make sure there is no dust or dirt on the touchpad.
- Press the Esc key several times.
- Drumroll your fingers on the touchpad for ten seconds.
- Turn your Chromebook off, then back on again.
If none of these steps work, then you will need to contact LVS at your earliest convenience.
