Its been a while and a lot of travelling but there is an update to this tale.
I was happy that my matchstick fix had resulted in the touch pad ribbon cable being well connected in the damaged FPC connector but the pad still refused to work on any function.
A mouse in the USB worked perfectly.
Then, last week my wife went down with pneumonia and had to be taken to hospital by ambulance, 4 hours away.
I followed after grabbing clothes etc in a van. 6 days of IV antibiotics etc.
She has recovered, I had to stay in hospital as her carer, its not like the NHS here!
But that's not the news!
The touch pad has recovered and works fine now. Is this due to the hospital? Aliens? Updates? Luck?
The Acer techy was convinced it was dead, he was good, checked everything including drivers, bios and software.
But it has mysteriously fixed itself.
Any light forthcoming from anyone? Or am I in a parallel universe?
