E530 e430 touchpad and trackpoint questions

hi all,
please can you give me a feedback from your experience on e530 or e430 laptops
a) is your touchpad unit shaking? My touchpad has one milimeter gap, i mean when you tap it is going down one milimeter and this is very annoying.
b) are your trackpoint buttons working well on every press you make. My right button has a dead zone. Imagine that you divide the button into four pieces (two up and two down). The upper left piece of the button is the dead zone, so when you press it there nothing happens. The result is that i need to press it harder and at the most right side of the button.
Do you experience these problems at your e530-430-330 laptops?

noone has e530?
please, tell me about your touchpad. Is there a gap between touchpad and base? when i tap the touchpad it depresses about 1 mm and it feels loose. Is it normal? If it is defective i want to be on time for return - doa.

The touchpad and trackpoint don't work on X220

All greetings! I from Russia, therefore am sorry for my bad English. On my X220 (4290RV4) the touchpad and trackpoint have ceased to work, but the keyboard and fpr works normally. I tried different versions of BIOS and drivers, reinstalled windows, but it is ineffectual

hey Solo,
try removing the ultranav/mouse drivers from your unit via Device Manager.
go to http://support.lenovo.com ; download the latest ultranav/mouse drivers for your unit and install.
try again.

Touchpad and trackpoint problems, especially when resuming from sleep

I am having persistent problems with the touchpad and trackpoint on my L530. I prefer to use the trackpoint usually, and found that the touchpad was super-sensitive and caused the cursor to jump around during normal (touch) typing so I disabled the touchpad. Next time the thinkpad resumed from sleep mode, the mouse was frozen. Nothing would reactivate it. I had to switch user, which temporarily fixed it, and then reactivate the touchpad.
If I try and change trackpad settings at any time other than directly after a reboot, the settings are greyed-out and I can't touch them. Right now, both trackpad and trackpoint are completely dead again, but I've plugged in a USB mouse and that seems to be working, so I've given up fiddling with it. This will be a pain when I'm moving around with the laptop though!
The OS is Windows 7. Yesterday I went looking for the most recent driver, uninstalled the existing one (as per guidance) and installed the new driver. No luck.
I've heard this is a common problem and apparently installing a generic driver works, but I'm not completely sure what to use. Anyone know?
Oh, and I'm not sure if this is related, but quite often when I resume from sleep mode the keyboard is also dead. However, if I switch user it comes back to life. So annoying but not the end of the world.

Thanks for posting this information in this forum. You just saved me a couple thousand dollars!
Based on my experience if you want to get this problem fixed as soon as possible you need to do the following:
1. www.apple.com/feedback
2. Post a video of the problem on www.youtube.com
3. Send www.apple.com/feedback a link to the video on youtube.
4. Encourage others to visit your youtube video and to post their own.
Good luck!

T440s touchpad and trackpoint issue

I have a new T440s which came with Windows 8, and I upgraded to 8.1
Nothing strange installed in it.
Sometimes touchpad and/or trackpoint don't work at all after turning on, rebooting or recovering from a suspended state.
It never fails while the system is running.
When it happens, I reboot and it works fine.
Already upgraded everything using System Update (BIOS, etc) and Windows Update.
Sounds to me as a driver issue, not a hardware issue... but I am not 100% sure.
What should I do?
Should I reinstall any driver? How?

Uninstall the UltraNav driver from Device Manager or Programs and Features. Then run System Update; it should offer the UltraNav driver again.
Alternatively, here's the manual download:

Problems with touchpad and trackpoint (Edge E430)

Hello!
Please help me, I've tried uninstalling and installing the UltraNav drive without success.
Block trackpoint, and even use a regular mouse.
My problem is as follows:
The Trackpoint cursor is moving alone. After disabling the trackpoint, I could use the touchpad for a normal time. Then the cursor touchpad is also moving alone. And the same happens with the mouse.
Furthermore, the lower right touchpad button does not work as secondary click. Works just like the left, a standard button click. And sometimes not even working.
Please help me! This is bothering others. I have to hold the trackpoint cursor to stop moving alone and to use normal mouse.
Windows 8.1 64, ThinckPad Edge E430, core i5.
Thank you!

Yeah, the only soluton is going to be if they are going to decide to refine the drivers or something like that. Tried BIOS, no luck. Problem comes and goes. Really hope they at least try to update the drivers because so many people have this issue. Yeah I had one random restart and then, it has not happened since, so I am pretty much only concerned with fixing the touchpad or getting it to work properly.

X1 Carbon touchpad and trackpad stops working.

Received my new X1 Carbon 2014 this week. After only two minutes of use, the trackpad and toucphpad stopped working.
I hade to use an external mouse, and even after all driver updates it still didn`t work.
If I restart the machine, sometimes the track-touchpad will work, but suddenly it freezes up again (after only minutes of use), and I will have to restart to fix the problem. Have used it for 5 hrs now, and how probably restarted about 30-40 times.
Anyone know what is causing this problem and/or how I can fix it?

Same issue here.
Bought my X1 carbon 20A7 last month.
The touchpad and trackpoint stop working after a while. Sometimes after minutes of use, sometimes after half an hour. When I close the lid, to let it go to sleep, and wake it up again they both work again. Another interesting (might be a coincedance) issue is that when I wake the laptop up after this has ocurred, the fingerprint reader does not work to log back on.
I have done a fresh install of windows 8.1 and updated all windows and Lenovo drivers.
I hope this gets solved quickly. It's kind of ridiculous for such a premium laptop.

UltraNav and TrackPoint not working for my user account - but ok for others...

Got a strange one on my X201T. For some reason I can't fathom, my laptop's Trackpoint, Touchpad and all their associated buttons do not work when I log into my laptop - they did before but in the last few days, they've stopped. My external USB still works fine when connected.
However, if, for example, I do 'ctrl-alt-del' and lock the laptop, they start working again until the moment I'm logged back in. Also, If I log in on a Guest account, they all work fine! This suggests it's not the hardware, I think.
I've looked at the Control Panel / Mouse dialogue and the options under the UltraNav tab are all greyed out - but they are not on the Guest account. Somehow, my user account on the laptop is not allowing me to use the Trackpoint, etc.
My external USB mouse works fine in all accounts, btw.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. I've updated drivers through Lenovo update (though none seemed related to this problem).
Any thoughts how I can fix this?

kokoko, I had this problem last week. I solved it by removing "thinkpad ultranav driver" and "thinkpad ultranav utility," rebooting and reinstalling them. It hasn't happened again.

Lenovo G500 TouchPad and Keyboard wont function at the same time

Lenovo Laptop G500
Windows 8
Synaptics TouchPad V7.5
Driver Version 16.3.13.3
The Synaptics TouchPad and the keyboard won't function simultaneously. If I uninstall the driver for the TouchPad the keyboard and TouchPad will work simultaneously on the windows driver however the TouchPad is very limited. There is no option to turn off the palm touch listed as a fix in other forum post.
This problem makes it impossible to play games that require the TouchPad and mouse to work simultaneously I would appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance Dennis

hi djdishaw,
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try to:
1. Lower the palm tracking and touch sensitivity to minimum, apply the changes and observe.
- Link to picture
2. If same problem, try to update the Synaptics Touchpad driver to v16.3.15.1 and repeat Step 1.
Windows 8/7/XP/Vista 64/32-bit Edition v16.3.15.1

Keyboard, touchpad and assist button not working

Hello, I have a touchscreen VAIO laptop on which the keyboard, touchpad and assist button are not working. The touckscreen keyboard works, and if a plug in a bluetooth USB mouse it works too. Te problem as I said before is with the touchpad and physical keyboard, which don't work even in the BIOS inicialization. I tried the assist button but it doesn't work neither. Instead of accessing VAIO Care, it turns the computer on. I also tried to restore the system and update drives, but with no success. The problem started with some bubbles on the screen that freezed the computer. I restarted it and only the keyboard was working (the light under it was on) but the display was off. Then I restarted it again, and again and now only the dispaly is on (I can access Windows 8 via touchscreen), and the rest of it is off (not working, leds off, etc).

Hi Damares,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
I am sorry to hear your issues but it seems that you are experience a combination of hardware and software issues. First, the Assist button should work when you press it. Try to press Assist button again while the unit is off (just in case you were trying to use it while the unit is off).
Power cycle the unit - Remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals-> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds.
Test again the unit. If this won't push through then we highly suggest to visit Sony's Authorized Service Center in your area.
For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Best regards,
Vincent

HP Touchpad with battery question mark

Hi ,
my HP Touchpad shows battery question mark symbol, what should i do ?
Thanks in advance
Regards ermoberlin
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hold the Power button to attempt to turn the TP off.
When the TP is off, press and hold the power and volume up buttons.
The TP should power on and display the USB trident symbol.
At that point you're in USB mode and should be able to use webOS Doctor 3.0.5 I suggest using WebOS Doctor to reset the TP to its delivered condition
The forum with the greatest amount of resources for the HP Touchpad is the HP WebOS Forum. I highly recommend joining that forum.

Performance issue and functional question regarding updates on tables

A person at my site wrote some code to update a custom field on the MARC table that was being copied from the MARA table. Here is what I would have expected to see as the code. Assume that both sets of code have a parameter called p_werks which is the plant in question.
data : commit_count type i.
select matnr zfield from mara into (wa_marc-matnr, wa_marc-zfield).
update marc set zfield = wa_marc-zfield
     where werks = p_werks and matnr = wa_matnr.
commit work and wait.
endselect.
I would have committed every 200 rows instead of every one row, but here's the actual code and my question isn't around the commits but something else. In this case an internal table was built with two elements - MATNR and WERKS - could have done that above too, but that's not my question.
            DO.
              " Lock the record that needs to be update with material creation date
              CALL FUNCTION 'ENQUEUE_EMMARCS'

                  matnr          = wa_marc-matnr

          ENDIF.
Here's the question - why did this person enqueue and dequeue explicit locks like this ? They claimed it was to prevent issues - what issues ??? Is there something special about updating tables that we don't know about ? We've actually seen it where the system runs out of these ENQUEUE locks.
Before you all go off the deep end and ask why not just do the update, keep in mind that you don't want to update a million + rows and then do a commit either - that locks up the entire table!

The ENQUEUE lock insure that another program called by another user will not update the data at the same time, so preventing database coherence to be lost. In fact, another user on a SAP correct transaction, has read the record and locked it, so when it will be updated your modifications will be lost, also you could override modifications made by another user in another luw.
You cannot use a COMMIT WORK in a SELECT - ENDSELECT, because COMMIT WORK will close each and every opened database cursor, so your first idea would dump after the first update. (so the internal table is mandatory)
Go through some documentation like [Updates in the R/3 System (BC-CST-UP)|http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCCSTUP/BCCSTUP_PT.pdf]

Hi, I have a new computer and new apple id. I've purchased music with my old computer, email and apple id.
I cant access now the previously purchase music, because it wants to authorize the new computer to play the

What can I do?

Hi, Carmen.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you need to reset you security questions, do not know the answers and no longer have access to that email account, see the last sentence under Note in step 5.
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need tocontact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

Hello there, omsmac.
The following Knowledge Base article provides a great place to start with some good information that can apply to keyboard issues as well as trackpad:
Trackpad or Magic Trackpad is jumpy or erratic
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449
Aside from the usage recommendations, this recommended step is very practical:
If none of the above resolve the issue, try to rule-out software not created by Apple as a cause. To do so, start in Safe Mode.
There are some good steps for testing the keyboard as well found here:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1381
If the issue persists after attempting Safe Mode, then you may want to try an SMC (System Management Controller) reset. The steps on how to accomplish that are found here:
