As for the belt, I have no idea but it might be the touchpad cable. Try to replug the belt back in as it is needed to use your laptop. If that does not work it just may be the simple problem of re-enabling your touchpad through your keyboard. This will vary through models but for a Toshiba Satelite I think its Fn + F9. Just look for an icon that has a square and a hand on it and press Fn and then that key.
