Laptop experts help please

Is it easy to remove the touchpad from a laptop to relocate? Are they seperate units or attached to motherboard?

In particular i am interested in the acer laptops.

or can i get a small roller ball to fix into car somewhere?

Oh Dave. I really hope you get your problem sorted out straight away. I'll be praying for you, keeping a candle burning and wishing you all the best and I really hope you get your touchpad fixed and your laptop is fixed and all spangly and sparkly as soon as possible. God bless America.

something like that would be an easy solution via usb, but I would like to have the touch pad on the drivers arm rest. I want everything to look totally stealth and standard.

ah, now you are starting to make sense, this is for a laptop install in a car by any chance?

yeh, but that means having stuff lying around in the car.

Currently i have sat nav / tv dvd player tv tuner and road angel all installed in the car, but if you looked inside you wouldnt know any where there.

I was going to replace the dvd player and sat nav with a laptop hooked up to my tv screen, then have a touch pad on the arm rest so its easier to find.

sure is. I've been waiting for a cheap laptop to come along, now i have one coming.

I also plan on keeping standard headunit, for the ultimate in stealth.

I'll look into that, but it would have to be small enough to mount on a panel somewhere.
