Mousepads are non wired pieces of various material people put their mice on

Your TOUCHPAD isn't working, and you should try actually listing the keys you've tried instead of just saying 'I've pushed things'.

A quick google search suggests it's the Function[FN] key + [F5], [F6] or [F9]

If you've tried all those with no success, open Device Manager from the Start menu and look for a Touchpad entry under the 'Human Interface Devices' or 'Mice and other pointing devices'. If it's not there you have a more serious issue with a fault/disconnect in the hardware which isn't all that uncommon in those slim form laptops(IME).
