    So, I sent in my laptop to fix a broken hinge. It was gone a week and came back repaired, However, they updated the BIOS, and i think that messed with something.

    Now my function key+F6 that normally disables my trackpad no longer works. I can still use other FN keys, such as volume and screen brightness.

    What drivers or options or steps do i need to take to regain this functionality?

    Thanks to all who read this and to those that reply.


    EDIT: I've already tried uninstalling my drivers and downloading the newest touchpad drivers from lenovo.com. That did not fix it. I also tried uninstalling them and restarting and letting windows find and install it's own drivers. that also didn't solve the issue.
