I'm in the curious situation of having two iBooks fail in very similar
circumstances ie failing to boot.
Short version of story is that after a fiddle with install, reinstall,
target disc mode etc have established that both have intact and
permission-repaired HDDs and now have fresh copies of 10.4 loaded up.
Laptop 1 now has come to life but trackpad and button are
nonfunctional. System Profiler says the trackpad is there and gives
its specs. The OS however seems to think it is not and tells me when I
go to Help, that the trackpad button in the "Keyboard/Mouse" window of
System Pofiler, is not present because "this computer does not have a
trackpad installed"
So the question is:
anyone with experience on the Unix terminal know of a way to prod the
OS into recognizing the trackpad hardware? Or how to formally test it?
I have gone to the temple of Google but came away empty handed
Thanx
