If battery works and ac adapter has problems that means electrolytic capacitors maybe dried up(not supplying the current needed to run the laptop) and has to be cured by using the laptop more often.

Turning the TouchPad on and off

The TouchPad is turned on at the factory. When the TouchPad zone is active, the light is off.
To turn the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator.

If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it and give a testimonial for my response.

> you just have to reinstall driver for your touchpad but if after doing that and still not working then touchpad might be busted
> sometimes a certain software might be causing the touchpad to not work and restoring computer to factory default might resolve the issue but this will cause your files so do a back-up first
> to get the driver for your touchpad please refer to your manufacturer or to the website of acer

hi locate the FN key on lower left side of keyboard next locate the touchpad key usually one of the F1-F12 keys,press and hold the FN + the touchpad key together and release, now check the touchpad.

good luck,
let me know how it turns out.

need to pick up the keyboard and make sure the ribbon cable to the mother board is fully seated. if it is. then the touchpad need to come out and clean it very carefully. the sugar and any sticky substances need to be clean off the machine, around the touchpad.
I hope the drink did not damage the touchpad.(it is heat senstive)
if it still don'e work aft reinstalled it. you need to call dell to get a replacement.
