My mouse pad quit working right after I cleaned it. How do I enable it?

My mouse pad was sticky so I cleaned it now it doesn't work. It is a Dell inspiron 1545. How do I enable it?

Dell Inspiron 1545 don't have hot keys or actual switch to disable touch pad.
You may have actually damage it with the cleaning.
What did you use to clean the touch pad?
