Hello!

After I used the help of this video to disable my broken touchscreen : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QgfpW65SwY It told me that this file : sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
I should write "Option “Ignore” “on” inside the touchscreen part to disable it and I thought that It meant the touchscreen or something because it didn’t get disabled after I did that I I saved it and my touchpad stopped working I even turned it on and removed the Option “Ignore” “on” thing and it still is not working Note: It’s and ELAN Touchpad and I did this on linux and now its not even working on windows, chrome os, or any other Linux Distro Kindly help as this has been a problem and I have to carry a mouse around with me In school and NO it is not school enrolled It is my own personal device as our school does not give chromebooks.

Thanks For Your Help!

use some common sense here. Accidentally disabling the touchpad under Linux via a config change can’t cause the touchpad to stop working under a completely different OS. It also wouldn’t take effect immediately. So something else is the root cause here – likely a physical connection of some sort/

Yes but It starts working randomly for some time after I install linux but then It stops working again I have even reseated the touchpad and reset the EC in chrome os
