My macbook touchpad is dead. Is there a way to get my magic pad working on the macbook?

I don't know how to navigate to bluetooth>browse device etc. without a mouse or touchpad...

Is someone knows please provide step by step assuming I know very little about Mac OS...

Thanks!
 
Do you have access to an external mouse?
Do you still have warranty?

Anyway, here are the steps:
press CTRL+fn+F2 at once
use the arrow keys to navigate the :apple: menu to "System Preferences", press ENTER
type "blue", as the search field is automatically selected in System Preferences
select "Bluetooth" and press ENTER
press the TAB key three times
select your MT via the arrow keys
press the TAB key two times (icon with the little gear is selected)
press SPACEBAR
use arrow keys to go to "connect" and press ENTER

No usb mouse, no warranty.

Thanks for the tip.
