How to turn off or ignore trackpad on MacBook Pro running OSX 10.7.5?
My trackpad needs replacing, but I don't have the funds. It works fine with an external USB mouse, but the trackpad keeps "activating" on it's own (a la Poltergeist). An couple online searches have not revealed and option and the Mac store doesn't have an answer. When I go to the Apple menu, Universal Access that many sites talk about is not available for the Trackpad (only Keyboard and Voice).
Help, please?!
[If I can't get an answer here, is there a way to contact support via telephone? (It's difficult finding such basic information nowadays.)]
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
