You didn't say what the model number is for your laptop.

Many laptops like mine have a hotkey to enable/disable the touchpad. For example in the user manual it shows how to do that;

I can also enable/disable the touchpad in the Control Panel:
Select Mouse Properties
Select Device Settings
Select Disable
