According to the documentation on my system FN f8 toggles the touch pad. I notice from your original message that does not work, it does on mine although you need to do it every time the system boots up.
I got mine in December of 2009 if that helps you at all.

The F8 or FN plus F8 does not do it so hopefully there will be a lister who owns such a model and can tell me.

It's a toggle. I don't have it now, but the lenovo model i had access to didn't have an easy way to disable it completely, so you had to disable it per session. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DERICK GREEFF" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2013 7:27 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] DISABLING THE LAPTOP TOUCH PAD > Hi Jim > > Thank you for the response.
