can someone help me find a touchpad mouse and keyboard

[Arron]

i just got a new TV and i just hooked it up to my laptop and i love it. so im looking to get a touchpad mouse and keyboard so i can control everything from my bed/chair.

can you find me a reasonable priced touchpad? i'll be looking to buy online, so maybe ebuyer, amazon, play.com.

i know how to find them and that, but i just want the best deal and considering you lot are more into this sort of technology then me, i think it will be better if you decide for me

many thanks

I recommend that one too, it's very good!

It turns off after about 15/20 mins to preserve the battery, which is good :) Only downside I can think of is that the mouse keys are a bit noisy when you click them, but for your purpose it shouldn't be a problem, and that's such a tiny problem too!

right thanks guys i think ill be ordering this one.
still, keep your links coming, it's much appreciated.


edit:

i also need a 15-pin d sub cable and i cant seem to find one on ebuyer.

It's called a VGA cable. Search for that

[Arron]

the touchpad along with the VGA cable just got delivered. the VGA cable doesn't fit in my laptop??

also i have to press the f4nction key everytime i use the letters & numbers: "7,8,9,*,4,1,5,2,6,3,-,+,0,.,/" so it doesnt show that way, if that makes sense...

ok i'll repeat the same sentence as this in the line below and you will see how it displays
62 5'33 re-eat the sa0e sentence as th5s 5n the 35ne be36w and y64 w533 see h6w 5t d5s-3ays

You need to turn num lock off. Look for the button towards the top right.

What does the connector on your laptop look like?

[Sunny.]

The VGA should fit the laptop but it wont screw into the laptop like it does in the back of your television.

Post an image of your laptop connector just to make sure it is VGA.
It should look like this

erm i have 2 VGA cables, one from my desktop PC downstairs (before i bought the cable I had to keep moving it from downstairs to upstairs and it fits in okay)

its this new one, it wont fit in my computer screen downstairs either so i must have bought the wrong one.

from the order email:

Item: Plexus VGA Monitor Extension Cable Male-Female (Black) 2m
Qty: 1Cost: 2.30

i think you will find the trouble is in the male-female part, i believe they should both be male
i.e male-male or m-m

[Arron]

i was thinking that just..
right il order a male male one

slight problem, the laptop isn't showing on the TV and it's just a blue screen. I was messing about on Control Panel>Personalization>Display Settings then I clicked something and the TV showed a "No Signal" alert. It's not coming back up lol

[Jack!]

screenshot would help, have you messed with the dimension settings?

[Arron]

all you would see is a blue screen if i print screened..

[Arron]

some progress:
the tv now shows my desktop background but nothing else.

[Arron]

dw i solved it.

[GommeInc]

dw i solved it.
What was the problem? And on a slightly different note, am I posting in a closed thread, or is the quick reply button gone, or has there never been one and I've someone managed to gain consciousness of knowing this? :S
