[SOLVED] Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ITL05 - Touchpad not working

Post by modowd »

I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ITL05 this afternoon and put Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon 64bit on it and came across the seemingly common touchpad not working issue. I was brought to this forum where the best advice seemed to be to:
  • open /etc/default/grub
  • add GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs"
  • update with sudo update-grub
  • reboot


This didn't work for me despite everyone else seeming to have success.

What did work was updating the kernel to 5.13.0-21-generic along with the listed steps.

Just hoping this might help someone facing the same issue.
