    I have the same problem, and I boot from the CD and it is working... so it's not an hardware problem but a software issue... did you manage to fix the problem...?

    Ok for those of you interested in the solution to that problem:



    it comes from a setting in system pref / universal access / mouse and Trackpad :



    If the Mouse Keys in On... that's your problem... just turn it off and it will work again... ;-)



    Thanks to the guys from Macbidouille forum...



    cheers
