Read the book that came with it called "Getting Started". On page 18:

To turn the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator. When the TouchPad off indicator is amber, the TouchPad is off.

HP is one of the superior machines because it has all kinds of need tricks, information, manuals, and utilities to quickly find and fix problems. Go to HP's web site. Click on Support and Downloads. Enter your model number. Learn of all kind of things you will never get from crappier machines such as Gateway.

Also execute HP's diagnostics. Also called PC Doctor. Learn to run them now. Learn what a good machine does. Then if/when failures happen, you can quickly see when those diagnostics have identified a problem. And know how to execute those diagnostics.

Is that something wrong with the touchpad? First thing to do (other than reading the manual) is to execute comprehensive hardware diagnostics to quickly exonerate most suspects.
