    My touchpad has stopped working. Red rubber pointer in center of the keyboard still works. Plugged in USB mice. no issue. But the error above makes no sense. Everything is default. I have changed nothing besides being on the newest BIOS. I looked all over the BIOS and nothing. Everything looks enabled by default.

    I have taken very good care of my PC. i wonder if blowing canned air would have messed it up?

    I am on Windows x64 final RC.

    Everything else works fine with my Fn keys.

    Thanks

    *sigh* fixed. Took off the palm rest and sure enough the touch pad had disconnected from the mobo.

    works now.

    I for one am glad to hear got it working. I am a big T61p fan, but I noticed today that the thing is just getting too heavy.

    Heavy as in the weight of the unit itself?

    I agree with you Renee. I also love my T61p but the desire to have a lighter machine was one of the reasons that pushed me toward the X200.
