Hi,<br />
<br />
Does anyone know how to disable the touchpad on an IBM Thinkpad r30 so an external keyboard &amp;&nbsp;mouse could be used ?<br />
<br />
Also, would anyone know the specific part numbers of the keyboard, mouse &amp;&nbsp;&quot;Y&quot; connector that would be required for this application ?<br />
<br />
It appears that generic mice &amp;&nbsp;keyboards don't work from a local Office Depot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Disable touchpad on IBM Thinkpad

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
