After replacing the motherboard on a laptop (damaged by a drop), the mouse no longer works. The CD drive connects to the same component and works perfectly. Finding a damaged cable connecter, I replaced the mouse and the upper housing it's held in, only to find the problem persisted.
Laptop is an Acer Aspire 5810TZ.
I've already checked the function key combinations for disabling and reenabling the mouse. This version also has a quick button next to the mouse for enabling and disabling, and is non-functional alongside the mouse.

EDIT: After disassembling and reassembling several times, the mousepad disable light now flashes on and off as it's pressed, but the mousepad still does not work. Within Device Manager, the mouse is displaying a Code 24; This device is not present, is not working properly, or does not have all its drivers installed.
Device is present, connected properly. As for working properly, it's a brand new cover, and the drivers are installed.

Several restarts, driver uninstalls and reinstalls later, and still no mouse activity.
The BIOS has no settings for the touchpad, despite that it would throw a different code if that were the issue.

Perhaps the cable isn't in all the way? Ribbon cables are stubborn if that's what's being used to connect it to the motherboard.

Just pulled the cover off again to check; the MB to card cable is secure and flush (in fact, I can't even get the latch to budge card-side), the touchpad to MB cable is also secure and flush, anchored down.

Were that it was just a loose cable, though...
