    Friend of mine just brought ASUS 6000 with broken internal keyboard. Is there any way how to turn off/disable internal keyboard and works only on an external one?
    Thanks for advice

    Are you sure? If you haven't tried it.

    But to the OP: why do you want to disable it? If you don't use it at all, even if it's broken, why do you care? Unless it affects the notebook functioning in other ways.

    One sure way to disable it is to unplug the signal cable. You need to pop up the keyboard for that, you will find instructions on many threads -- I know I posted them at least 5 times in the past few months.
