Left mouse button not working but touch pad is

on some models of compaq laptops there is a mouse lock button with an led a bit like this one.
press it to unlock your mouse pad.
If this was no help then check this video and it should do the trick.

-If me I'll buy a new mouse.

Good luck

To access Mouse Properties, select Start - Control Panel - Hardware and Sound -Mouse.

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer options.

I would verify that you have the compaq drivers installed for the mouse pad NOT the microsoft defaults alot of the time they add functionally like the double tap click and things like that. The link is

Its under input devices I selected windows XP I dunno your operating system but if your operating system is Windows xp that will work.

Like this if it worked for you. PLEASE!!!!

Determine What's Wrong
laptop's touch pad basically provides the functionality of a mouse for a desktop PC, typically with two buttons located just below it acting as the left and right click buttons on a desktop computer. A touch pad may be damaged by excessive use or foreign substances such as water, dirt or food items.

Hit the "Windows" button on the keyboard and then use the right-left keys (or hit 'C') to open "Control Panel." From there, again use the right-left keys to get to "Mouse" and then hit "Return."

Use the right-left keys to toggle between the tabs and open each to investigate whether any boxes had been improperly clicked by accident that cause the touch pad to become unresponsive. But if any of these steps fail to remedy the problem, then the touch pad may need to be repaired or replaced.

Repairing/Replacing TouchpadA touch pad assembly cost $100 or more and that's not including replacement installation. Hiring a specialist to replace a damaged touch pad, including parts and labor, may easily cost $200. Unless the laptop in question is worth well over $1,000 and the touch pad is deemed a necessity, such repairs are rarely worth the cost.

Attempting to replace the touch pad without certain expertise in laptop assembly may be dangerous and/or destructive. Also, getting a replacement part that's not compatible with the laptop may have catastrophic results, including irreversible damage to the laptop.So just attach a mouse to it so you can work easily.Please rate me if this solution works for you

Thanks......Have a great time.

try it with toggle keys it may be work

Try to check in the mouse properties if the tapping feature of the laptop is turned on. If the mouse button works and you can move the pointer throught the touch pad, then definitely its working.

Your touchpad may have stopped working either from it is damaged or somehow the driver/software was diabled or removed. You could try re-booting in safemode and see if the mouse can move to verify the touchpad is working. Also try using a usb mouse to see if you can move the indicator with that so you can try to re-install the drivers/software.
