The keyboard on the Inspiron N4010 system has a new "Disable Touchpad" key. This is a toggle key which can be used to Disable / Enable the Touchpad. (See the below image).

In case this option is not working please check the function key behavior in system BIOS. If function key behavior is selected then you have to press FN+ disable touchpad key otherwise just press disable touchpad key and touchpad will stop working.

To enter in system BIOS follow the below mentioned steps:

1) Reboot the computer.

2) When prompted during POST, press thekey to enter the setup screen.

3) Click on Advance for function key behavior.

Please reply if you have any further questions.
