Lenovo IdeaPad 3 touchpad not found (and not working)

Hi, just installed linux for the first time. Laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL05 core i5. OS: Manjaro KDE. When I go to system settings → Input Devices → Touchpad, an error is shown: “No touchpad found”. I tried this solution: h t t p s ://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1861610/+index?comments=all from comment number 66, but manjaro doesn’t have acpidump (the fix uses this program from apt). Then I downloaded icpica from pacman, which says it “provides acpi tools”. acpidump command started to work, and I followed the guide further. Next step was to edit /tmp/dsdt.dsl (firstly, find HID of the touchpad: ELAN063). But I couldn’t do it: the only occurence of “ELAN” string is this:
"
If ((TPTY == One))
{
_HID = “MSFT0001”
_SUB = “ELAN0001”
BADR = 0x15
HID2 = One
Return (Zero)
}
"
Seems like something is wrong. What should I do?
Some information, that I’ve seen others show:

Thank you! Sorry if I did something stupid

Hi,
Apparently you will need to add pci=nocrs to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT inside /etc/default/grub and the run from terminal:

sudo update-grub

then reboot

But probably you will have (also) to create a file to blacklist elants_i2c module. One single command from terminal will do that for you:

echo "blacklist elants_i2c" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/unneeded-modules.conf

Then you have to reboot. To remove the file in case is not helping:

sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/unneeded-modules.conf

Other people got it working like this

Thanks! Just running update-grub and rebooting works!
