Edge S430 - Touchpad, Trackpoint & Mouse Buttons Not Functioning Correctly

Hi.
My new Lenovo S430's Trackpad works most of the time but sometimes just suddenly stops working and I have to restart the laptop using keyboard navigation Often this happens when the machine is under load like an antivirus scan or similar. Sometimes the Trackpad is also sluggish to respond, like it ignores the first touch.
The Trackpoint and mouse buttons (the ones above the Touchpad) work for the first 3-5 minutes after boot up and then suddenly stops working and doesn't start again until it's restarted.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling most of the drivers (for various other issues) on the machine but it hasn't helped.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Hi there.
First of all, I'd like to say that Lenovo Customer Care have been extremely difficult to deal with and quite unhelpful; They are no longer returning communications and have seriously damaged any faith I had in Lenovo as a brand and the extended warranty I bought is useless. I cannot recommend their products to friends or collegues as a result.
Now that that is out of the way, what I've gleaned from the hours spent trying to get through to customer care and the minutes talking to them is that the problem is in one of three places:
1. Microscopic crack in motherboard (highly unlikely, but still it's a hypothesis thrown around by my computer tech friends)
2. The keyboard and touch pad connectors are improperly seated or faulty
3. The RAM modules are improperly seated or faulty
As far as I know there is no solution to problem 1 IF it is indeed the cause. I tend to apply the following process to try to cover both possible causes 2 and 3:
1. Remove keyboard and connectors from laptop
2. Remove and replace RAM modules
3. Remove touchpad connector (it looks like a tiny connector like how the two keyboard connectors attach to the motherboard)
4. Replace all connectors very carefully and ensuring that they are fully installed
5. Replace keyboard
That SHOULD do it in theory. It's worth pointing out that I haven't had to do this with my laptop since January, but the trust is broken. I used to have to do it at least once a week since I got it and it was a nightmare, especially in the middle of a busy college term.
I hope that helps.

Simple Button not functioning correctly?

The button functions correctly, but for some reason when I launch the flash page, the button shows up with the alpha at 50%. I narrowed it down to the var elasticTween3:Tween = new Tween(my_box,"alpha",Strong.easeOut, 0.5, 1, 1, true); line of code, but I need that line to fade the alpha from 50% to 100% when mouse out occurs. Am I missing something??
Below is my code:
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0.5, 1, true);
myTween.stop();
var elasticTween1:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 35, 45, 1.5, true);
var elasticTween2:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 45, 35, 1.5, true);
elasticTween1.stop();
elasticTween2.stop();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER,hover);
function hover(e:MouseEvent){
myTween.start();
elasticTween1.start();
elasticTween2.start();
var elasticTween3:Tween = new Tween(my_box,"alpha",Strong.easeOut, 0.5, 1, 1, true);
elasticTween3.stop();
my_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT,out);
function out(e:MouseEvent){
elasticTween3.start();
elasticTween1.start();
elasticTween2.start();

make sure that code executes exactly once. ie, that frame shouldn't be re-entered. use the trace() function to confirm, if you think you've prevented re-entry.
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.transitions.TweenEvent;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
var myTween:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "alpha", Strong.easeOut, 1, 0.5, 1, true);
myTween.stop();
var elasticTween1:Tween = new Tween(my_box, "x", Elastic.easeOut, 35, 45, 1.5, true);

Y50 touchpad let/right buttons not working correctly.

When I try to do a left or a right click my touchpad will only register it half the time. Sometimes have to click around 5-10 times before it will work. I can usually get the left click to work after only a couple of clicks, but the right click hardley ever works. I feel like the whole thing needs to be replaced and I was wondering if anyone has had this problem and got it replaced?? I bought it 4 months ago and its been not working pretty much out of the box. Honestly, although I love this comp, I completly regret buying it and wish I would have went with the toshiba I was looking at.

Hi Wheatleylabs,
Welcome to the Forums
As per the query we understood that you facing issue with touchpad in your Lenovo Y50 laptop.
Try to update the driver to the latest version and check for the issue, after the driver update if still the issue perstists then it might be issue with the touchpad as you have mentioned that its been only 4 months hence you can contact the Lenovo support and get it replaced, or you can also contact the nearest service center.
Click here to open a link where you can select the country and get the exact contact support number. I’m sure they will be a great help.
Hope this helps. Do post back if the issue persists!
Best regards,
Ashwin. S

My mouse buttons not working correctly

I have my mouse set up to open dashboard with the center button, and spaces with the side buttons and it suddenly stopped working. I have checked it through preferences and it is still set up correctly. My husband and I split the computer into two users and it still works when he's logged onto his side, so I know the mouse isn't broken. Any ideas?

if you open your home folder, do you see a "Library" folder? if it's hidden, spotlight won't find it.
You can try from the Finder menu at the top, there is a "Go" menu. Select "Go to folder..." and type:
Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/
(where <your user name> is your user accout name, for example "Users/dianne/Library/Preferences/")
within this folder now open, you will have files starting with "com.apple.driver...."
one or more of those should say "mouse"
delete those.

Buttons not functioning correctly

Greetings:
I'm developing a site that has different pages on different frames. My buttons work correctly, and go to the correct frame, however, if I press it twice, it jumps to another frame. I have the actions to stop at each frame and this is the code I am using for the navigation. Any help?
//these are the navigation actions
//home button
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClickClick(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(2);
//about button
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(3);
//portfolio button
portfolio_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onPortfolioClick(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(4);
//services button
services_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onServicesClick(event:MouseEvent):void
gotoAndPlay(5);

You may want to remove the eventListener
home_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
then re add the eventlistener in another button so that when it is pressed you will reactive the listener that was removed .
e.g.
//home button
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick, false, 0, true)
function onClickClick(event:MouseEvent):void{
// will re-add about_btn event listener
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
gotoAndPlay(2) //I recommend changing from a number to label for example "start"
// eliminate the ability to click once pressed
home_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.Click, onClick, false, 0, true)
//about button
about_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick, false, 0, true)
function onClickClick(event:MouseEvent):void
// will re-add home_btn event listener
home_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, Down, false, 0, true);
gotoAndPlay(3) //I recommend changing from a number to label for example "next"
// eliminate the ability to click once pressed
about_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.Click, onClick, false, 0, true)

Mouse buttons not working correctly

For several days now, my mighty mouse (another does the same thing) is frequently acting with left button like I am holding down option key to select a group, when it should just select a single item (ie, it grabs a group). I can use escape button or right button to stop this, but hard to manage it when working in email, or any area to select. This happens in any program I use. Right button works correctly.
During times that this is occurring, activating the dock will cause the animation to last a couple seconds to bring the dock to top of window.
I have reinstalled with archive, have gone back to another hd with 10.4.11 on it, and it keeps happening. When I reboot, I am coming up in safe boot, and have to do PRAM zap to get it to start in regular mode. What the heck gives?

if you open your home folder, do you see a "Library" folder? if it's hidden, spotlight won't find it.
You can try from the Finder menu at the top, there is a "Go" menu. Select "Go to folder..." and type:
Users/<your user name>/Library/Preferences/

within this folder now open, you will have files starting with "com.apple.driver...."

Loop add button not functioning correctly

Hey all,
I have been trying to get a for loop to produce buttons based
on a value.
My current code is:
var xPosition:Number = 50;
var yPosition:Number = 15;
//problem one is that "rows" is a variable from the html page
the swf is
on, I have had it working on other flash programs, but unable
to get it
working on this, but for the purpose of this, I can replace
it with a
numeric value e.g. "3".
//but this causes the main problem, if it is set to 3, the
3rd button
only appears, if set to 2 the 2nd button only appears.
for(i=0;i<rows;i++){
_root.attachMovie("button","btn"+i,_root.getNextHighestDepth());
_root["btn"+i]._x = xPosition;
_root["btn"+i]._y = yPosition;
yPosition = yPosition + 25;
//Does anyone have any idea's for this?
Thanks in advance.
Slpixe

trace(btn0); ect
i was tracing out the btn in the loop. because its only
appearing once
is resulting in only 1 button appearing at a time,
I attempted having the resulting button componnents all
returning
different names, but that resulted in no buttons appearing
(_root.attachMovie("button"+i,"btn"+i,) i tried
OMG WOW
100+i works! all the buttons are appearing now! =D
Will do some testing
Thanks loads guys

Captivate 7 - Incorrect Answers not allowing quiz to Continue. Buttons not functioning correctly (Clear, Back, Next). I have Knowledge Check

I am experiencing a problem with the Quiz feature of Captivate 7. Correct answers are submitting o.k., but Incorrect answers are not. You cannot go forward with them, i.e., the program will not Continue or go to the next question with an Incorrect answer in the Assessment.
This presentation has 15 Knowledge Check questions (0 points) and 10 Assessment Questions (10 points each).
Also the buttons don't always work correctly, i.e. Clear, Next, Back.
What could I try?

Thank you for your response. No. I didn't do anything like that. I figured that I should probably divide this into 2 parts and aggregate them. That was going to work, but I checked with one of our other users in TX. He told me that what they always do is to divide up the presentations into 2 parts. They don't aggregate them, but instead, let the LMS take care of going from the learning module (with the Knowledge Check questions) to the Assessment Module. Once you exit from the learning module, you immediately go into the assessment.
Captivate 7 doesn't really allow for this type of test without aggregation or an LMS. You can have a pre-test, but it expects those questions to come at the beginning of the course, not to be interspersed throughout the course. I also found that using the Question Pools gave me more flexibility in moving Knowledge Check questions around using the Filmstrip.
The other interesting thing was that the TX expert told me to remove the Accessibility Feature because, apparently, it causes other parts of Captivate not to work. I found that to be strange.

Touchpad not functioning correctly

I have an Envy 17,(Windows 7) and the touch pad is not functioning correctly. I have had it do similar things in the past but they seemed to fix themselves after a few minutes, but this time it just keeps messing up. I CAN click on programs to open them but once in a program, I cannot click on anything. I CAN click on links when online, but they always open in a new tab and when I attempt to click on a new tab, the tab completely closes out. Once a program is opened, I cannot close/minimize/maximize it using the touchpad, nor can I access File/Edit/other menu options. I also cannot click in a typing field. (I'm using a different computer to do this post)I can barely move the curser around. It jumps or freezes up. I move it up about an inch and as soon as I take my finger off the touchpad the curser goes back to where it originally was. I've tried restarting the computer but that hasn't worked. I've attempted tried some other things as well, but since I cannot click on anything with the touchpad and can barely move the curser, I am at a loss for what to even try. Everything was working fine this morning. I literally got up from the computer, made breakfast and sat back down and it was all glitched up. No one had touched it... I had not recently downloaded anything nor have I made any updates to the computer. Thank you, Neyephe

Hello there, It sounds like there is a hardware issue with your touchpad, which you need to replace. As stated in the warranty, the touchpad may only be replaced by an Authorized Service Provider. If you cannot find any places that are authorized, you may contact the HP Support Center via phone and arrange a date for your touchpad to be replaced. In the meantime, you can buy a USB mouse to navigate your laptop. Best wishes getting your issue fixed! Best Regards,Shawn

Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
any ideas?

Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based. Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop. This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

My laptop touchpad left mouse key not working

I have a Elitebook 8440p with windows 7 professional.The touchpad left mouse key not working ,but right mouse key works well.my driver is synaptics 14.0.10 090ct09 and the touchpad name is synapticsTouchPadV7.2.
thanks in advance.

i had the same problem. what solved this for me was to simply go to device manager and under mice and other pointing devices uninstall the touchpad, i had a usb mouse handy just in case i needed it, but then i restarted the laptop and it auto reinstalled touchpad for me and then all options worked on startup.

My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.

Spry Menu Issues - Not functioning correctly in Microsoft IE

Hi there,

THE CONFLICT IS BETWEEN YOUR DOCUMENT CSS AND THE SPRY CSS.
It is because the <li> and <a> TAGS have been styled and therefore OVERRIDDEN THE SPRY CSS.
Use CLASS TAGS e.g. <li class="anyclass"> and <a class="anyclass">
and STOP USING THE <a> TAGS.
N.b. you may need to unstyle any <a> or other TAGS that conflict with the SPRY CSS. (However it's best to start over knowing that styling basic tags may affect the SPRY CSS).

Hyperlinks Are Not Functioning Correctly

I have a problem with the some of the hyperlinks in my
WebHelp Pro project not functioning correctly once the project is
compiled. What happens is that when I click on a hyperlink the text
doesn't change from blue to purple. Not all the hyperlinks on a
page are affected; some may work while others do not.
When I look at the HTML code, I see two different things
happening, and both things may not occur in the same code:
1) In some documents the code reads "a visited=0000ff." The
value should be 800080.
2) In other documents "font color=blue" is being added to the
HTML code for a particular hyperlink. Other hyperlink code in the
same document may be unaffected.
I have checked the font color in the editor to make sure it
was set to "automatic" before I created the hyperlink. I removed
the hyperlinks altogether, recompiled, then opened the document
back up and recreated the hyperlinks. The problem still exists.
Every document in my project is using the default.css style sheet.
I use the same paragraph style throughout the project, both on the
links that work correctly and those that do not.
Has anyone ever experienced this problem? And if so, do you
know the fix? I could manually edit the HTML code before publishing
my project, but that is just a bandaid fix.

The hyperlink color is controlled by the style sheet. I edit
my style sheets in a text editor. Make sure you clear your browser
history before testing the color changes.
FWIW, I like my links to stay blue--I usually have the color
change to purple in hover just to indicate that what is moused is
indeed a viable link.
