(Anywhere else to look for solutions?) Buy a new touchpad or a used pull on ebay. Look in the manual to see how to take the palm rest off. The touchpad unit will attach to the bottom of the palmrest with 2-4 tiny little screws and maybe some supporting tin and to the motherboard with ribbon cables. It's an easy and inexpensive repair. Hint: resist the temptation to pull harder or pry at the edges if the palmrest doesn't come right off. You missed a screw or there's a "secret" catch. Check the manual again. You *can* help the upper and lower parts to separate by gently wedging a guitar pick against the little catches. Another hint: you may be able to buy a palmrest that includes an installed touchpad. It's worth a few bucks not to have to mess around with rice-sized screws and those damned ZIF cables.
