Gt780 brushed aluminum panel slightly "raised" near the track pad

I bought a GT780 i5 version about a month ago, ever since I noticed that the brushed aluminum panel is slightly raised at the top edge of the track pad, seems the adhesive didn't do its job anyway, when i try to press down lightly to try and set it back, i noticed that the track pad itself may have been installed/set too low... why do I say this? Because when i try to press down on the aluminum panel at the top of the track pad it sets lower than the surrounding aluminum, which indicates that the portion on top of the track pad is lower.
I have no idea how this unit is put together, I do not know if the plastic underneath the aluminum panel is a 1-piece design or otherwise...
anyway, that's my only gripe... as it looks cheap and unprofessional.

The first thing to do of course is take it back to where the repair was done and see if they are willing or able to make it right. If you get no satisfaction from them, you could then call Apple Customer Relations and explain that the repair was not properly done at their authorized repair facility and that you feel that the damage inflicted on your computer ought to be repaired. Be very nice and polite. You may need to send it off to Apple for proper repair. But if you are under Applecare, then they really should take care of this.
If you just have a one year warranty, you might consider purchasing the 3 year warranty. Otherwise, once your one year warranty is up, you will be on your own. If you are at all close to the end of your 1 year warranty, be sure and get a case number documenting that the problem first occurred under warranty.
Good luck!

that is not normal. Take it to Apple or an AASP and have them evaluate you mac.

With snow leopard, basic keyboard functions like double clicking on a desktop item now require me to hold control and then click on the track pad. I'm trying to recall, I seem to remember Leopard allowing you to double click items to open them?

I notice in iPhoto that if I used to be able to single/double click on a photo to view it but now if I click CONTROL and then the TRACK PAD, the options don't allow me to open JUST that photo in nearly full page format. Any suggestions?

"nearly full page" means that I used to be able to double click on a photo in iPhoto, and it would open up to a full image within iPhoto itself. Now, there is absolutely no option to enlarge a photo unless you go to slideshow - no option to double click or side click or Control+click or Command+click or anything at all. The small white arrow at the bottom right corner of every photo gives you options, but none are options that include enlarging a photo to see it bigger. And no, you cannot double click it at all to even open it up in any other app unless you click/drag onto desktop and then open in Photoshop, or equivalent app. Yes, checked TP preferences. No, it doesn't help.

NO Cursor scroll through any message thread using the track pad in the BB Classic

It very strange to know that I didn't find the cursor while i will scroll through any message thread i.e. Text msgs and in Whatsapp it will only selet the whole msg or multiple msgs rather then specfic text required, using the track pad in my BB Classic.
Where in my old BB 9780 there was a cursor which would always show there and would help in selecting text required.... Rather in BB Classic first you have to activate the selection mode in text msgs by pressing the shift key an slighty brush the finger against the trakpad. then you get the selection blue sticks on the screen to selet the text required.
Anyone who has noticed this short coming...?? Or it might be I am not very familair with the selection methods...!!!
Will appreciate your help
Thanks,

Anyway to change how the track pad behaves on Yoga 13?

Hi
I just bought a Yoga 13 and while I can change the speed the mouse moves is there anyway I can change:
1) the speed the track pad scrolls a page?
2) can I change the direction the page moves when I move my hand?
ON the pad when I swipe downward the the page moves upward ?
Is there anyway to make it to where I can swipe down and have the page move down?
The pads I use at work work that way and its far more natural to me that way
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The're all in Control Panel>Mouse>Device Settings>Settings
Turn off Ënable Reverse Scrolling and you can adjust the scroll speed in the same place

Why in the world would Apple make the track pad LESS useful in OS Lion? I hate that I can't g back to the top of a web page with a singe swipe. And of course all the other gestures are totally reversed. IMHO, this was not an imporvement.

No one here works for Apple.
Go to System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom, and uncheck Scroll direction: Natural.

I have just installed OS X Mavericks and I can't seem to right click on the track pad.

Also the track pad seems to be slower/ not picking up all my finger movements.

You might want to take the computer to an Apple Store or an AASP and have them give you an estimate, at least, on how much it would cost to 'fix' the trackpad - I've no idea what the cost would be. The trackpad on MBPs is one of the most sensitive elements in the computer's design. They usually don't go bad, but yours seems to be giving you some trouble: so just make a Genius Bar appointment and just get an estimate - might be something simple.

Can I use the mouse and the track pad at the same time?

I'm not comfortable with the track pad yet - can I use a mouse and the track pad simultaneously?

Yes, both can be used simultaneously.

Command + W will close a window. Command + Q will quit a program.

Where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?

where is the magnet located in the track pad and display lid?
have to see if theres a problem with the display magnet because when i close the lid, the sleep function does not work.
am using a fridge magnet to move around the track pad to see if this will activate sleep mode. im begining to wonder if its worth just going with out the auto sleep mode and maybe try n get some money of what i paid for it (it was a refurb machine)

as a guess, around the middle of trackpad, maybe half an inch moving from the lead edge towards the screen
also, give it a few seconds to activate in any one spot - it's not instant

HT203171 Track pad is erratic, sometimes scrolling without touching the pad. Also highlighting chunks of my Thesis with the touch of a finger. Frustrating because I have accidentally deleted during this out of control mechanism with the track pad.

My Mac Book Air has developed an erratic process with the track pad. Sometimes the page scrolls without touching the pad, great chunks of my Thesis can be highlighted and sometimes I delete without realising. Does anyone else have this problem. The Tech wants to replace my track pad today, not sure what to do?

See if any of these items apply:

How do you control the track pad?

The track pad seems to have a mind of its own after Lion installation. Seems to copy everything it crosses over. Is there a way to have it behave like it did in the Snow Leopard?

Press and hold the power button until the machine turns off. Then restart.
