I was working on my laptop and suddenly my touchpad stopped working. Scrolling, left click,right click nothing is working now. However I tried attaching a mouse and it is working just fine. I tried to reboot my laptop, it did not work an later checked my mouse system settings and they were just fine.
Also tried through terminal by running query - sudo nano /etc/default/gruband changing line to -GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.reset quiet splash"and saved it and rebooted the system, still no help.

Your BIOS is really old.
As per sudo dmidecode -s bios-version you have version A04.
Using "Model is Dell Vostro 3458 and service tag number is DY5ZC72"...
Note: make sure you have a good backup before updating the BIOS.
The current version is A15, as per
See for how to do this in a Ubuntu-only environment.
