Compaq Presario CQ60 keypad and mouse are not responding, how do I fix?

If you have a recovery CD then boot up with this CD and follow the instructions.
If you do not have a recovery CD then you can download one from this WEB site.

Hook an external mouse to the laptop, if yes! do a system restore bringing the computer back to an earlier time before this happened, if the external mouse gives the same problem, do a full system recovery of the operational system if possible for a complete fresh install.

I experienced the exact same problem you posted! I found the following post on this HP website.

The HARD RESET steps listed in the solution fixed my Compaq CQ60 laptop keyboard! Good luck!

To access the mouse cable remove the battery - remove the screws securing the keyboard - carefully lift the keyboard out and check the security of the cable BUT in your instance look at the small on / off button in front of the mouse pad and ensure it is turned on ( blue light ) for on yellow off -- if it is blue go to Started - all programs - recovery manager - activate recovery manager - select advanced options - select reinstall a selected driver - select the touch pad driver - reinstall - reboot if that fails go to http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3872064#N1238 & download & install the latest touch pad driver. If still no go your up for a new top cover assy
498410-001 Chassis top cover assembly - With touchpad (Presario)


Also it maybe the on / off cct board assy that failed 502907-001 Touchpad on/off circuit board

os? vista, 7, x64??? ok lets get to a base point. you had a different mouse, is it still installed? Is the dongle still plugged in? are the drivers loaded? uninstall drivers in control panel. remove all traces of every other mouse, pad, pointers, etc from your cq60. in device manager you should show Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad under MICE AND OTHER POINTING DEVICES. if after reboot the touchpad is still not working then right clock the Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad in the device manager and select uninstall. reboot. let me know when you get to that point.
