MacBook - How to disable sudden motion sensor (SMS)

I was having issues while watching video files. When i moved my laptop a little it would skip and become distorted. Someone suggested disabling SMS, so i thought i would give it a try. I looked at my system profiler under hardware, where SMS is supposed to be, but it isn't listed there. So i cant know its status. Is this a problem? (the fact that it isn't there). And, how can i disable it?

Thank you
