Hi, I just recently aquired a Toshiba Satellite r10, and I am trying to disable the touchpad on it. After a bit, I figured that I needed to use the Fn button to do so, so I held it down and hit the appropriate F9 button, nothing happened except when I held down the Fn button a box on the keyboard light up that has four arrows pointing outwards. Tried various Fn buttons and none of them worked at all.

My question is, how do I use it, the Fn button, and how do I disable the touchpad?

To disable the touchpad you need to press FN + F9.

Yes, I have tried that, but when I do, nothing happens, the touchpad still works.

So, I guess no one has an answer for me?

Myself, I would try the BIOS for disabling such.

Thanks for the tip, it worked! smile.gif

If anyone has an idea why my Fn key dosn't work, now that'd be cool... there's several functions for it I'd like to use if I could.
