Touchpad cannot move the cursor

Question

Suddenly I cannot move the cursor using touchpad, however, the clicking is ok (left+right click)

I have tried the following:

Fn+F10 to turn on my touchpad
Turn on touchpad in Mouse&Touchpad setting

>>xinput list

I also tried reinstalling, but the cursor doesn't move even during the installation.

Any idea?

UPDATE: This problem is specific to Lenovo Legion 5 laptop. I found a workaround solution here: https://www.linux.org/threads/lenovo-legion-5-touchpad.29536/page-2#post-104544
