2009 MBP TrackPad not working after 2 months of use..

Hey i bought it on late July, and i came back to Argentina (my residence country).I'm still in warranty, and i'm going back to US on July. The trackpad wont work when clicking in it, but does work when scrolling and tapping. The click only works sometimes when pressing hard, but i dont want to force it. Please help me if there's something in software,or tell me if Genius Bar in any Apple Store will help me replace/change the trackpad/laptop. Thank you very much.

Hi all, here in Malaysia I managed to talk to some technicians from the Apple Authorised Service Providers, and my trackpad was replaced. It was a bit difficult to demonstrate to them the "clicks" being lost but in the end they were able to help, my trackpad was replaced (as well as the display assembly - separate issue)... The problems I have been describing seemed to have gone away.
As such, I don't think it's clear cut with the trackpad issues whether it is a hardware or software thing. May be one or the other, or both.
Most importantly, get AppleCare. See the list of fixes I posted earlier.
If you are still facing issues, take it into the Apple Store Genius or an Apple Authorised Service Provider. As long as you can reproduce the issues even in say a clean install with 10.6.2, you should be able to hopefully get your Mac attended to.

  • Thinkpad T440s - trackpad not working after wake up

    HI,
    I have an annoying issue with my new T440s.
    Trackpad stops working after I get it out of sleep. In fact, it works partially (two finger, edge scrolling is OK).
    Even I re-install the driver, it won't work everytime.
    Any suggestions? Is this a hardware issue?
    thank you.

    Just more information about the issue:
    The trackpad is acting like being disabled in BIOS.
    2 finger scroll , side scroll are fine. When my screen dims down, I touch the pad and screen is back up.
    "enable touchpad" is grayed out in Mouse Properties under control panel.
    All trackpad features are fine, only the mouse is not working.
    Another thing I noticed: when I get to Windows login screen works fine (sometimes), but then, once I get authenticated and get Windows loaded, its stops working.
    BTW, I'm using Windows 7
    Driver reinstall, reload factory image, enabled/disabled in BIOS.. nothing helps.
    Hopefuly a Lenovo stuff would read this and share some thoughts.
    This is my second 440s replacement. First one did not wake up, after it gets to sleep.

    Is there already a solution to this problem?

    I am also having the same problem, although I'm on a PowerBook G4 12" 1.5Ghz.
    I have an Apple Wireless keyboard and a Logitech BT mouse. The PowerBook is set up not to wake the computer using any BT device.
    On two occasions, the computer woke up from sleep because it somehow lost the BT keyboard and mouse connection. Upon close inspection, that shouldn't have been possible, since that option was off.
    I subsequently checked the BT preference pane under System Prefs. There, I discovered the following message, "Bluetooth Device Name: Name not available."
    The first time, I restarted the computer and everything came back to normal. The second time it occurred, it I decided to log off and log back in. The log in process was fine, but my icons on beside Spotlight wouldn't load, System profile froze when getting more information on my BT module, and System Preferences also froze when trying to access the BT preferences. I ended up restarting the computer, and lo and behold, it worked again.
    This has happened twice in the last two months, and I can't replicate the problem. I also can't figure out if this is a hardware or software problem.
    I've read posts in the forums that describe BT going missing. This is not the case for me. BT is there, but for some reason BT is there but it's "Name not available."
    Plaese let me know if you figure something out.
    Cheers,
    LP

  • Ellipsis 7 not working after 3 months

    I purchased an Elipsis 7 for my husband to use while he is out in the field to do minor things such as check and respond to emails. Last week it simply quit working, He took it in to the Verizon store and had a sales rep look at it and sure enough, it would not turn on. The gentleman in the store explained we would have to call the tech line and have it replaced as it would still fall under the one year manufacturer warranty.  No problem, I understand there are channels to be followed. I called Friday 10/17 and spoke to a representative that informed me he was placing an order for a replacement device, (after we went through the same steps all over again to ensure the device was indeed not working.)  I even have my confirmation e-mail stating a replacement device is being sent and how to return the defective device. The associate went over with me the fact that if there is any water or other damage we would be charged the $300 for the device. Again, fine, I know there is a process. He also stated we would receive the replacement device yesterday 10/20. I did not receive it so I called back today as there was no tracking information available on my account.  The gentleman I spoke with this evening stated the order has not shipped yet and he cannot tell why and that he would have to cancel the original request and submit a new one. The main problem with this is he is stating they are having to send a recovery box, clearly different than the discussion I had with the rep on Friday.  So now, not only was our order delayed, but we will not even be getting the replacement until after they review the original device so we're looking at a minimum of another week. For an item that is only 3 months old that has been well taken care of this is a ridiculous amount of hassle. I have been on the phone now for a total of 2 hrs and still have a tablet that is not working. I am extremely dissatisfied with the lack of knowledge and consistency from one employee to another. They couldn't have been any more friendly, they are just kindly misinforming your customers. If this is how you all handle your claims on a new device, I will not be renewing my contract and will even consider going to one of your competitors that buys out your contracts.  This is the first claim I have ever had to file after a decade of patronage and I could not be any unhappier.

    Hi kld01
    Thank you for  your feedback. We were sorry to hear about your experience and have already made changes to internal resources about the Ellipsis 7 to hopefully provide more consistent communications about the recovery box process. Your tablet will be fixed through recovery box as this is the only repair process for the Ellipsis 7. Following is what you can expect as far as timing:
    - Your recovery box should arrive within 3 days
    - The box should arrive to the manufacturer within 2-3 days after you ship it
    - The manufacturer will repair the Ellipsis 7 and ship it back to you within 3 days
    - You should receive your device within 2 days

  • Wireless trackpad not working after lion update on May 15, 2012

    Right after OSX update on May 15, 2012, the pairing of my wireless trackpad to the desktop is no longer working.
    First the bluetooth found my trackpad.  After clicking "continue", the box showed: "No trackpad found  The pariing attempt was unsuccessful, click "continue" to try again. 
    I've been trying for several times.  Still not working!!

    Yes, I did replaced a new set of batteries!!  The computer keeps finding new wireless trackpad but once I click on continue, the box showed "the pairing was unsuccessful".  Again, this happend when I updated my OSX this morning.
    I clicked on the bluetooth set up box.  It shows a green light (connected) but sometimes turned red (disconnected) for no reason.  Then I clicked on "Monitor connection RSSI.  As I played with the trackpad, there seemed to be signals being detected by the desktop.
    Still, the mouse cursor cannot be moved by the wireless trackpad and the pairing is still unsuccessful.

    I brought my Iphone on the At and T site 3 months ago and it's not working how can I have it repaired?

    I think that you should just contact the place you bought it from and have them take a look at it,  and if you have the warrenty on your iPod you can get a new replacement too.

  • Acrobat does not work after one month

  • Keyboard letters and numbers not working after (?) serious memory use (?)

    So I've been having problems with my keyboard on my MBP 15-inch, Early 2011 (OS version 10.7.5, fully updated). It stops working after I use Photoshop or InDesign (cs6) for a long period of time or when I'm surfing the web a lot. The best example where it for sure stops working when surfing the web is when I'm on tumblr and I scroll through dozen of pages on my feed. When it stops working, the only keys that continue to work is everything but the numerals and letters.
    I've taken it in, replaced the keyboard and talked to apple support and they can't figure it out. I assumed that it stops working because of all the loading images, info and memory that is in use when applcations are open but I don't know if it's because of memory.
    One thing that always occurs right before the keyboard stops working is this sound from the speakers that sounds like gears turning three times or three fast ticks. Only once has the letters and numbers start working and I don't now what I did to make it come back but I heard the three ticks play again.
    But my only solution to make it start again is restarting the computer.
    Does anybody have this problem/know the solution to make this stop?

    The only Upperfilters and Lowerfilters you were supposed to remove were the ones in 4D36E965 which is for the Optical Drive.
    The other keys, for example 4D36E966 and 4D36E967 etc.. are for other devices, such as the keyboard, mouse, and possibly other devices like sound and graphics. This is not good, because its hard to manually restore those filters without knowing what was in there before you deleted them.
    Did you backup the registry before deleting the keys?
    You could try a System Restore to restore the registry back to a previous state. If you boot into Safe Mode (press F8 or F5 before XP boots up), you can select a previous date to restore back to.
    Then follow these instructions http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=314060

  • Trackpad not working after Security Update 2010-005

    I just bought a new MacBook last week (white plastic one). After doing the Software Update last night for the security update the track pad no longer works. I have tried restarting holding the cmd + option + p + r and still no track pad. Any ideas? Is there a way to back out the update?
    I connected a mouse via USB and that works. I tried changing some of the options under system preferences for the trackpad but still no luck.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    First run the hardware test from the original installer discs:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509
    If your data is backed up, just restore your backup.
    If your data is not backed up, see this user tip:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1308817&tstart=0
    Note, if that still doesn't work, your machine is likely still under the return/exchange period for most stores. You may want to just get an exchange if troubleshooting this issue takes too long.

  • Downloaded game not working after several months

    Castleville Legends game WILL NOT stay opened

    What have you tried ? Have you tried closing the game via the iPad's multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag that game's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Macbook Pro Trackpad Not Working After Accident

    I am a DJ and use my 2006 Macbook Pro to spin tunes. Recently, I did an outdoor gig where this big gush of wind knocked down one of speakers onto my head then fell onto the right side of my macbook pro.  =[
    The rightside of the MBP (right above the CD drive) was a big valley in it now.  And for some odd reason my trackpad is stuck in permanent click down mode.
    Even more odd.... I can click and double click right above the cd drive now?  What happened?  What can I do to remove the bend and fix the trackpad without it costing me a fortune?

    You'll have to replace the case & whatever else is damaged. Go to an Apple store or AASP for an estimate. No, this will not be cheap.
