My cat accidentally pressed some keys on my Lenovo laptop, and now the touchpad is disabled. I don't have an external mouse, and I'm having trouble finding any button that resembles a touchpad icon. I'm at a loss and need some advice on how to get it working again!

You can usually re-enable the touchpad by pressing the FN key along with one of the function keys (F1 to F12). It's commonly one of those, so give that a shot!
If pressing FN and the F keys doesn’t help, try searching online for "how to disable touchpad [your laptop model]." That might lead you to the specific solution you need. Sometimes the instructions can vary by model.
I looked it up, but all I found were general instructions from Lenovo that just mention the FN keys, which aren’t helping me.
These cats seem to have a knack for causing tech chaos! 😂 If your FN keys aren't working, try a combination like FN + M or check the whole keyboard, since those FN keys can control more than just the function keys. Lastly, you could try restarting your laptop—it sometimes helps refresh things if it's acting weird!
I've tried that, but on my Lenovo Ideapad Pro 5, I can't find the icon for the touchpad anywhere, and nothing seems to work.
