1. Did u double check the cable connection between mouse pad n mainboard? i suggest u open it again n double confirm again..
2. What is the purpose for ur lappy? only surf net n some works?
I can't find the actual model in google...

hi bro i did check the cables... all in order, i suspect i might have bent a thin flexible cable?

this model is almost 5yrs old... but still very strong and stable.

use it for net, movies and some doc works

then just upgrade the ram and harddisk.. since u not a gamer... if u accidently bent the thin flexible cable may cause the issue.. u go to any laptop refurbished shop in sls ask them able to help u replace that cable or not.....

suggest you do your own backup of your data.
hdd drive / rams, ask yrself are you going to use this laptop for sometime?
are the rams worth investing in it?

edit:
you know what hdd/rams are you using?
ddr / ddr2 ? sata / ide?
