Is there a keyboard shortcut to disable the touchpad? It's usually FN+a F or number key.

You should download a copy of a bootable Linux distro like Knoppix. Boot off that and if the touchpad does not work in Linux, then you can be guaranteed it's not a software issue. If you have reseated the internal cable connecting the touchpad to the motherboard at both ends, and it still does not work, then I'd say the touchpad has failed. It is possible that the circuitry underneath the touchpad was damaged by ESD.
