mktutpramo,

To disable the touchpad on the Vostro 1540 you would press the FN+ F3 key combination. Below is the Function Key information for your computer.

Fn + F1 Switches the video image to the next display option. The options include the integrated display, an external monitor, and both displays simultaneously. Fn + F2 Switches on Wireless. Fn + F3 Disable/Enable Touchpad. Fn + F4 Decreases brightness on the integrated display only (not on an external monitor). Fn + F5 Increases brightness on the integrated display only (not on an external monitor). Fn + F8 Play the previous track or chapter Fn + F9 Play or pause Fn + F10 Play the next track or chapter Fn + F11 Turn down the volume Fn + F12 Turn up the volume

Thank You,
