Helo,

How to completely turn off the trackpad, since my trackpad - on the click button seems problem rite now, it suddenly click on its own. Physical hardware problem i need to go for repair soon. Im fully using external mouse right now.
Its not the option disable the trackpad when mouse appear that i want, because the problem is when i take off the mouse after class etc and need to connect it back at home, it will conflict with the trackpad as i story above since the click button stuck, i need to plug in and take out external mouse a few time and ketuk2 a bit trackpad before can using it. So i want to completely turn off/disable the trackpad

My trackpad for the click bar seems faulty, it stuck and alwiz-click ... so i need to use mouse all the time.
The problem is when at site or else that is hard to use mouse i need to use Trackpad.
How much does it cost for the repair? anyone experienced?

OSX Leopard run as usual, just now i want to backup all my data so i plugin in my 500gb ext drive (NTFS) into mac

1. before this i can write data to the external drive, but now cant. WHY?
2. So i reinstall back 3G-NTFS and Paragorn NTFS, reboot my pc.
3. All of sudden, cant boot OSX .. the apple icon appeared, but after the active circling things appeared .. suddenly PC off.

What happened? i tried get into XP (dual bootcamp) all works fine ..

When i insert Mac OSX Install DISC 1 .. reboot with pressing C it doesnt work .. the drive ejected the CD.

Try reset PRAM & SMC? You can try boot into safe mode by holding shift key.
Your optical drive have problem as well? I wonder why it vomit your OSX DVD.

If you have another Mac you can try firewire target disk mode to recover your files. If you have a PC instead you will have to remove th MB HDD and put it into external casing.

u asking me am i trying to reset PRAM & SMC or u asked me to do it?
Currently my Superdrive working good condition.

If i take out and put into external drive to backup all the data, can the Mac drive/hardisk being read it in Windows/Linux?

Since 2007 this white macbook never ever gimme any problems, but until today .. all of sudden when i turn it on its didnt on. LCD flash for a while, i can hear the hardisk and fan working. Only the white led at the right front is on
What is the symptom? Any possibility this mac is going to throw into trash? oh no cry.gif got sentimental value. See the video for the symptom here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y1nFge7zeE

You're the one who asked for the Leopard disc yes?

Ahhh, do not give up hope just yet. Why don't you try to bring in your MacBook on to the retailer that you bought it from, and ask the technician for further inspection. Your RAM or the LCD cable could be loose.

yes sir i am, last nite working perfectly. Didnt bring anywere the laptop hence drop it.
Ya sure, will revert to the retailer store soon rclxub.gif
