| Hi Nick.
Managed to resolve this myself last wednesday with my sony vaio laptop.
The touchpad can be disabled by following these simple instructions:
1. decide it would be a good idea to upgrade to a larger hard drive & more memory.
2. Have no idea how to actually do this
3. Turn the laptop upside down and see loads and loads of screws.
4. Decide (in your own mind) this must be the way in......
5. Undo all the screws.
6. Attemt to open up the laptop.
7. Find it difficult
8. Here a small snapping noise.
9. Investigate said noise and find a broken ribbon cable.
10. S**t yourself as no back up has been carried out.
11. Quickly rebuild, fingers crossed hoping for the best.
12. Find that everything seems to be working ok, except for the touchpad, which is now totally inoperative (as are incidently the disc lights on the front)
13. Thank f**k that you have a wireless mouse.........................
You will at this point be in the position that all those annoying touchpad features are now tottaly disabled.....................................
Regards
Mark
NB. Know any cheap Sony Vaio repairers ????????
