Your mouse pad ??

by mousepad I assume you mean the trackpad?

If you could clarify that it would help others to be sure of your question.

I'm kinda 100% certain he meant trackpad lol. I've yet to hear of a mousepad that stopped working due to upgrading the hard drive in the computer lol.

Stranger things have happened!

Don't you have to disconnect the trackpad cable in order to remove the keyboard cover to get to the hard drive?

Maybe you forgot to reconnect it.

lol... track pad yes...

ill have to take this apart again and check the connection. YEA !

and my 5 broke one of the clips !... so either i find a new #5 or get a new keyboard....

BUT I am still happy I changed it myself and got it working with ease.

thanks for the replies !

[EarthDawn]

Thanks for all the replies and advice and help my MacRumors people !

Yes... sorry... i should have mad an extra thanks to you .....
