I bought a NEC 2430CD with a non-functional touchpad.
I loaded the NEC drivers, but the device manager sez
it's not working or wrong drivers. win98SE
Took it apart. The ribbon is good, got continuity on all
contacts from socket to socket.
There's no mention of the pointing device in the bios.
Got the latest bios upgrade. External mouse works fine.
The way this thing is put together with the processor heat
sink and heat pipe, I can't get at any of the connections while
it's running.
Are there any common faults I should be looking at?
Diagnostic tools that can give me a clue? Can I peek/poke the port
and tell anything?
Thanks,
mike
