[QUOTE="techiesteve, post: 1911929, member: 98520"] Although described as the trackpad flex cable, when it fails the trackpad and keyboard is inoperative, and the caps lock key LED and KB backlight are also inoperative. Only the keyboard power button functions. As you have found you can use an external mouse and keyboard. Apple's technical documentation doesn't explain why, as only modules and cables etc are simply replaced/exchanged. [/QUOTE]
