The BIOS detects the presence of the touchpad, so it is most probably a=20
hardware issue. Either the touchpad is dead (I don't think so), or the=20
connector of the touchpad went out of its socket.=20

I had these symptoms when the service technician forgot to plug the touchpa=

into the motherboard. It is quite easy to fix, as the connector is in case =

the R50p under the keyboard, and I assume the same for the R52, just remove=

the keyboard and then plug it back in again. Check the Hardware Maintenance=

Manual for Your model on how to do it. It is available from IBM.
