Replaced keyboard bezel, but touchpad not recognized

I have T410, Windows 7, BIOS 1.44 (recently updated) and a few days ago the touchpad buttons stopped working. I could move the cursor with the touchpad but I couldn't select anything by either tapping the touchpad or using any of the buttons. When I would disable the touchpad and selct the option of only using the trackpoint then the trackpoint (upper) buttons were fine (I'd lost the red rubbery thing for the trackpoint a while back so couldn't really stick with that option).
So, I figured I must have messed up the buttons somehow (I suspect liquid or something although I don't remember having spilled anything). I ordered a new keyboard bezel and installed it, but now the computer does not recognize that the touchpad is installed at all. I tried installing new hardware but its not there, reinstalling the drivers but the install wizard says there's no Synaptics device installed. When I press Fn and F8 I get the message that I must enable the trackpoing and touchapd in BIOS. I went into BIOS but under Configure - Keyboard/Mouse there is nothing at all about trackpoint or touchpad (just some fn and cntrl options). (My BIOS is unusually slow when moving between the different categories for some reason too)
I thought maybe the wires that connect the touchpad are the culprit but with the old bezel the touchpad could still move the cursor so I'm thinking it must be something else.
I'm using a wireless mouse without a problem, but having dropped $80 on the new touchpad, I really want to make it functional.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks!

So, I got the trackpoint to work now by installing the Synaptics driver from their website. The touchpad is still not working. I'm even more convinced this is not a matter of corrupt BIOS but rather something else because after I installed the new keyboard bezel the trackpoint did not work either and could not be found in BIOS but now works with a new driver.
I still can't install the Ultranav driver because I still get the message No synaptics device found.
Any other ideas on how I can get the driver to recognize that the hardware is installed?

3. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service
4. Empty your Temp directory and restart
5. Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed
6. Change your iPod's drive letter
7. Remove and reinstall iTunes
8. Disable conflicting System Services and Startup Items
9. Update, Reconfigure, Disable, or Remove Security Software
10. Deleting damaged or incorrect registry keys

I have updated my adobe digital editions but application not recognizing it, can't open epub book

I have updated my adobe digital editions but application not recognizing it, can't open epub book

What Adobe Digital app on your iPad? If you are talking about a third-party app (like Bluefire Reader) you need to connect your iPad to your computer, open iTunes, select the iPad, and select Apps in the Sidebar. Scroll down to the File Sharing section, select the app you plan on using, select Add (bottom right), navigate to where the book is on your computer, select the book and sync your iPad.

HT1583 After the Burn, I tried to play the DVD on my iMac, but will not recognized the DVD. It worked on my DVD player connected to my TV. First time it happened. ok.

After completing the Burn process, I tried to play the same DVD to the same computer, but did not recognized the DVD media. It worked ok on the DVD player connected to my TV. I've been burning DVD for a quite a awhile, this is the first time it happened.

Hi
This usually depends on
• BURN SPEED - not set down to x2 or max x4 - BEST IS N OT BEST - it gives max burn errors = BAD DVD
• Brand of DVD used - MeMorex, NoName etc are known problem makers - I only use Verbatim
• Type of DVD used - DVD+/-RW and DVD+R and DL-DVDs - can give a variety of problems - I only use SL-DVD-R
• Low free space on the Start-Up (Macintosh HD) Hard Disk - also gives bad result
- interlaced SD-Material (as on old CRT-TV (tube)) - I never go less than 25Gb
- HD-material - then 4 - 5 times more seems to be a good safe minimum.

Apple - Support - iPhone - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue persists after following the troubleshooting assistant, continue with the steps below, testing to see if the issue is resolved after each section.
Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. iTunes 10 and later requires Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later.
Update to the latest version of iTunes and Install software updates on your Mac.
Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you are not sure if your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications. Disconnect other USB devices, and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
Restart your Mac.

Ipod shows it is charging - but ipod not recognized by computer

My ipod mini is dead when not connected to the USB cord; once my ipod is connected to the USB cord, it looks like the ipod should be charging, but both my computers (laptop & desktop) are not recognizing that the ipod is connected through the USB.
I went to the store last night for service and the ipod genius told me it was probably my USB cord, since when he hooked up my ipod to his computer through his USB cord - it connected and needed to be reformatted.
I went ahead and bought a new USB cord - but that didnt solve the problem. My computer is still not recognizing my ipod.
Could anyone be of any assistance?
It broke 3 days ago and I'm lost without it.

Jersey, first off, it sounds like your battery must be almost dead (unable to retain a charge). If you are looking for quotes on having it replaced, I have found www.ipoddepot.ca to be very good and competitively priced.
As for the ipod not being recognized, it seems there is a lot of that being reported here, without any satisfactory solution so far. It seems like all are with Windows XP computers and I am beginning to wonder if it might relate to recent Windows security updates? In fact I think I will troll around the Microsoft site to see if I can confirm that theory.
As for taking it to a tech, I had exactly the same experience. The difference in result is due to the fact that he was plugging the thing into a Mac and not a Windows XP computer... Different software and environment, entirely!

Yoga 2 Pro touchpad not recognized as precision touchpad on Windows 10

Hi all, I was really delighted to see Synaptics drivers being available for the Yoga 2 Pro for Windows 10 on your site yesterday. However, I am really confused to see that the Yoga 2 Pro touchpad is not recognized as a precision touchpad. Does the hardware not allow it or is it Synaptic's fault or what else? I'd really love to have these settings: http://twitter.com/Daniel_Rubino/statuses/617023404911239168The Synaptics driver you provide doesn't allow me to change what happens when I tap with 3 fingers (btw, Cortana isn't activated by your driver anyway - it simply doesn't work) and I'd like to select by myself what should happen when I swipe with 3 fingers. Why do you stick to the Synaptics driver settings, if it's integrated into Windows 10? Thanks for any help and best regardsSebastian

Also, 3 finger tap doesn't trigger Cortana over here... Please integrate the touchpad into Win 10 settings and let Windows handle all the stuff.

My iPod touch 4g will charge but is not recognized by computer

I have done everything I know to do. My iPod touch 4g will charge from my computer but will not sync and is not recognized by the computer. I have tried it on 4 different computers and my brothers iPod touch 3G works and so does our iPad 2 but something is wrong my with just my touch 4g. Both of them have updated to the ios5 and I have not. I did the extremely stupid thing of resetting it and now it's just stuck an the original start up screen. So I can no longer even get into my touch. My 90 day has expired as well.
Please someone help me. My brothers have spent hours looking for ways to fix it but can't find anything. Nothing is working at all.

Did it work with previous ii.x version?
