Left touch pad button fault?

Hi all,
I have had my G570 laptop for about two months after a very bad affair with an HP laptop which went back to PC World twice with the same screen fault, then when I went to collect it, I switched it on only to see the same fault
So they said I could have a new laptop and I chose the Lenovo, bumped the RAM up to 8GB and have been very pleased with it, it feels solid and I wish I had got it from day one.
Now, as the subject says, I have an issue with the left touch pad button. Some times it sticks down, seems to go down further and at a different angle to the right button and just feels like something is not right. Is there anything that I can do to fix it or am I heading back to PC World for a fourth time in as many months
Cheers,
Steve.

Thanks Duck3, I did think as much

X121e touch pad buttons stop working after a while

Hello everyone,
I have a lenovo thinkpad x121e.
The buttons above the touchpad (for right and left clicking) and also the trackpoint stop working after a while (about 45 min). Although the touchpad itself works without problems.
If I reboot the operating system (Windows 7, 64-bit version) everything works fine for a while and then the buttons and trackpoint won't respond again.
It is always the same routine. Rebooting windows, everything alright, stop working, ...
I am using the newest driver version and de- & reinstalling of UltraNav haven't solved the problem.
Has anyone an idea what causes my problems with the touch pad buttons and how to solve it? (I guess it's not a hardware problem.)
Many thanks in advance.

Hi again, li-lup
I would recommend trying to use the standard Synaptics driver found here. Synaptics is the company that develops the UltraNav software, so there should be no loss of compatibility/features. I have witnessed several cases where this driver has helped others with mouse issues, so it may help yours as well.
The first thing you will need to do is to remove the UltraNav driver from the system. To do this, open the Start menu and type Device Manager into the Search box, and then press Enter. Once here, double click on Mouse and other pointing devices, and then right-click on the UltraNav device. Naviage to the Driver tab and select Uninstall... from the bottom of the window. Follow the prompts to uninstall and then restart when prompted by Windows. Windows should install a generic driver that will allow you to use the TouchPad when downloading the Synaptics driver.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Touch pad button wobble/clicking sound.

Yeah so I have had my macbook for about 3-4 months and just recently the touch pad button is getting all wobbely and making an annoying clicking sound if i just touch it (not clicking something). Its VERY annoying. Basicly what i wanna know is if i can take it to the apple store or something and get it fixed?

Do you have applecare? Problem is on something like this we can't really say what apple service will do about it. The reason I asked about applecare is if you had it you could call in and talk to apple service on the phone. With the regular warranty you only get 90 days free phone support. That is one of the reasons I am getting Applecare before my first year is up. I luckily have had no problems but I plan on having this computer for at least another 3 years applecare will be worth it. One problem after the first year and it's paid for itself. To me the phone support alone will be worth it.
Thanks for the .

Pavilion dv3z1000 touch pad buttons do not work

Ideapad S400 left touch pad and clicker not working

I've had this device for less than a year now, and all of a sudden the left touch pad and clicker are not properly working. If i try to click on something sometimes it doesnt work. I've tried about anything I can think of to see if it would help and so far nothing is working. Now let me mention that it doesnt happen all the time sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

Yes I installed the right drivers before trying to dual-boot with Linux. The issue was there from the beginning. But the issue appears only after 1 or 2 hours of use. It was mandatory for me to install Linux, for my studies. So I hope it doesn't break the warranty, because it would be unfair for people who need to do what I did.
The problem is that I am right now in Finland, but I am French and I bought my netbook when I was in France. So if I send it back to HP France, it will take weeks and weeks to get it back here, and shipping cost will be really expensive, and I will be without computer during several weeks, which is impossible for me as I need it for my studies. That is why I want to go to HP Finland and ask them. I know I could call them but the last timeI called HP France, I waited for hours and didn't get any answer on the phone.

S400 Active touch pad buttons problem

Dear all,
i`ve just bought Ideapad S400 and a first question arise
Could you please advise me how to disable the two buttons part of my touch pad as a touch pad i.e. I want the buttons to be only buttons, not buttons + active touchpad zone nor anything else - only buttons function? This double tasking of buttons part of the touchpad is very unconfortable.
Thank you in advance!

Hi leverkuzen,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community Forums.
We would need to disable the tapping feature on the touchpad. To disable this, hit start then go to control panel. Under control panel look for hardware and sound -double click (View by: Category) then double click on mouse.
Under control panel look for mouse -double click (View by: Large or Small Icons)
Go to device settings tab, then hit settings, the properties of the Synaptics, click on the tapping item, then uncheck enable tapping.
Hit apply, then hit ok.
This should disable the tapping feature on the touchpad, and allow you to use the buttons accordingly without accidentally tapping or double clicking an item.
Hope this helps.
Don

Touch pad buttons disabled when keyboard in use

when a key on the built in keyboard is depressed the left and right cursor buttons are dissabled.
the synaptics touchpad (7.5) menu allows "palm check enhanced" that stops acidental keypad touches whilst typing to be dissaled,but this did nt resolve the issue, this allows cursor movement when typing, but not left/right button press when typing
the settings appear fragmented and the help section useful only if you know the correct term for the issue you are expreiancing, so any assistance woul be apreciated
-will

That normally happens when the person typing has inadvertently tapped the disable area on the touchpad.
I do wish I could have been far more specific, but you only gave a general identification of your notebook instead of the complete product number or product name.
Fn+Esc keys will show system information when you are logged into Windows. Post the complete product number here.

Touch Pad Button Paint or Coating coming off

Hey all,
I just got brand new T410 about two weeks ago and I love it except I have just recently noticed that the paint or coating on the touchpad buttons is already wearing off. What is my course of action, I dont really feel like shipping the computer in to lenovo to get fixed cause I use it for work and dont feel like risking any shipping mishaps, is this something that can replaced easily by myself and lenovo can send me the two buttons, or does the whole touchpad unit need to be replaced? Thanks for the help

can you post a picture of this? There shouldn't be any paints as such that can wear off on the Touchpad buttons.
If it is in need of replacement, it has to be done at the depot or onsite by a technician (if you have onsite warranty), since the T410 palmrest is one fixed unit with the keyboard bezel....

Awkward touch-pad on notebook

I have an HP Pavilion DV7 notebook with the touch-pad mouse and integrated buttons. From what I can see, the buttons are integrated within the touch-sensitive area of the touch pad, so when I position the mouse to where I want it and place my finger on the left touch-pad button, the on-screen cursor moves away from where I placed it. I have to be very careful how I press the left or right touch-pad mouse buttons so that the on-screen cursor does not move which is VERY annoying.
Is there anyway to change this behaviour so that the mouse/touch-pad buttons are NOT considered part of the tracking mechanism? Thanks.

Touch Pad left click button worn

Hi All
Satellite P30-119 P4 538/ XP HE/ 1024MB/ 100GB/ 17WXGA/ DVD-Supermultu/ WiFi
Is anybody else had problems with the left key pad button.(mouse pad section)
My paint colour has worn away already and its only a few months old.

Hi Tony
If the unit is not the old one you should contact your local dealer or maybe Toshiba service partner in your country. Your unit has a valid warranty and you can ask them if there is a possibility to do something about that.

W520 - touch pad left click issue

Earlier today my left touch pad mouse click started to stop functioning correctly. It will only work correctly every 8 to 15 times it is clicked leaving it unresponsive and unpredictable. The right works perfectly fine as do the trackpad buttons. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and have sprayed compressed air under the key.
I had a similar problem with the laptop when i first got it but at that time the touch pad itself as well as the left click did not function properly. The face plate was replaced which fixed the issue.
Is there anything i can do software wise that might fix the problem before i have to pay to fix the hardware?

Regarding touch pad left right click button

Hi All,
I am observing some problem in my touch pad right and left click, it needs too much pressing.
Its not working as smooth as working in other hp laptops.
Can you please help us on this.
Or send some technician to check at my home

Hi @RahulGa ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a great place to find answers and suggestions!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that your TouchPad is slow in responding to right and left clicks.
When I looked at the specifications for your notebook I see it came with Free Dos.
Here is a link to Using and Configuring the TouchPad (Windows 7 and Vista) that should help set the sensitivity.
Here is a link to HP 15-r074tu Notebook PC Drivers. Please ensure that you have all the drivers updated and have installed the Simplepass software as well.
Good Luck!

Satellite C655-S9521D Touch Pad Left Click not Working !

My Laptop (Satellite C655-S9521D) left click in touch pad not working from yesterday.
But i can move the cursor using touch pad. I think it just happened after disconnecting the wired mouse.
Looking for great support soon.
Have a good day!

Do you mean the physical button or that tapping on the touchpad doesn't work?

Synaptic + Clickpad / One big touch pad with buttons

I just got a new Thinkpad E420s!
The touchpad is just one big touch pad. There are no seperate buttons for the touchpad. However, there are buttons bulit-into the touchpad at the bottom. How can I figure synaptic to support this kind of touchpad. When I click and hold the button (left) and try to drag it gives me a right menu.
I can still use the touchpad when above the buttons as long as I'm not pressing down. I think synaptics is registering a touch on the botton and a touch another part of the touchpad when I try to drag things.
I know this is a crappy description, but hopefully someone can help me.

Well I guess it is called a clickpad and there is a patch for the synaptic driver. Some nice lad created an aur package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38120
Edit: That package helps but I can't hold the mouse button down and drag something using the mouse. The mouse stay stationary when dragging.
