Make sure the mouse itself is not dirty. Even optical and laser mice need to be cleaned from time to time, especially if you have any furry companions. A Q-tip moistened with alcohol does well to clean the sensor.

By mouse pad, do you mean the trackpad on a laptop? It would help if you gave specifics, such as make and model of your hardware.

He sent me a PM. It is indeed a trackpad. I asked if he checked to see if it was switched off; a Function Key or Fn+Function Key might do this.
Some trackpads auto-disable if a mouse is also plugged in, but I don't think that's the case here.

Ah, glad we got that cleared up! Some designs have a small sensor on the trackpad (in a corner of it, perhaps) that will lock the trackpad as well when tapped. Might be worth having him check that also.
