Chosen Solution
Hi, I recently purchased an iBook G4 with no hard drive and when I boot into the installer from a disk to test out if everything works, the touchpad is unresponsive. Does anybody know why this is? If I boot into the boot selection or the installer the touchpad is still unresponsive. I really like this computer but why is this happening?
The trackpad is glued to the uppercase. Try using an external keyboard and mouse to do your system installation. Apple Part #: 922-6609 If it then fails to work use this guide to replace it: iBook G4 12" 800 MHz-1.2 GHz Upper Case Replacement
