T530 Trackpointer problem ...

I have a T530 (purchased in Aug 2012) and have had a problem with the Trackpointer (and it's associated buttons) ever since day one.
Many people dislike the Trackpointer (red thing between "G" and "H" keys), however, I have been using Thinkpads for many years and got quite used to it.
The problem is an involuntary activation of the left button (same as left mouse button) as soon as the trackpointer has been released.
Here is a description of what happens (in order) ....
1> Move cursor to a location on the screen.
2> Click left button to select an item or to start typing text.
3> Remove finger from TrackPointer.
4> Start typing text.
5> The typed text (or part of the it) appears at a different location, where the TrackPointer moved to after the last 'click' of the left button.
The problem appears after step 3 and before or after step 4 depending on how fast I started typing. So the result is
At first I thought that the left button was too sensitive and that the action of removing my finger from the button may sometimes cause it to activate a second time, however, the problem still existed after I replaced the keyboard.
So I now believe that this could be a software key-debouncing issue on the left button.
Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Pat.

Hello Patwassef!
Welcome to the support forums! There have been a couple of Synaptics UltraNav driver updates since August. Check to make sure you have the most recent drivers. On the very bottom of the link there are instructions to help determine which version is installed. If you do not have the most recent, do the updates and see if that helps.
There is also a new BIOS update that was released a couple of weeks ago. If you have not updated you may want to consider updating your BIOS as well. http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS029249
Let me know if this helps!
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

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!

X120e Trackpoint problem

The trackpoint on my x120e just stopped working, along with the accompanying buttons just below the keyboard. However, the touchpad and its two buttons still work. (This happened while I was using the computer -- no apparent change to system files prompted it.)
I tried Fn+F8 to turn the trackpoint back on -- I can select the option but it doesn't take effect. In advanced options, the option to turn the trackpoint on is grayed out.
I downloaded and installed the latest UltraNav driver; no improvement. I also looked in BIOS options and didn't see anything related to enabling the trackpoint.
Has anyone else had an issue with this, or is it likely an old-fashioned hardware problem?
Thanks for your help.

hey kdl79,
try uninstall the ultranav driver and software as well as the current mouse drivers that is installed. let windows install its generic drivers.
test your trackpoint and mouse and see if it works, then visit our support page and reinstall the drivers+software

Trackpoint problem

First of all, sorry if this questions been asked and answered. I've been searching off an on for several weeks for any online help to a trackpoint annoyance I've been having with no luck.
I'm on a T61p running XP. (I upgraded the stock Vista, following an online guide). I have the Ultranav utility installed (I can see and change the options for the trackpoint/touchpad in the mouse control panel).
Both the trackpoint and touchpad work. However, every once in a while the trackpoint just becomes totally unresponsive and the mouse pointer refuses to respond or move. For like 3-4 seconds. What's odd is that when this happens, the touchpad still works. (I'm trying to move or scroll with the trackpoint / topmost scroll button+trackpoint with now response, but use other finger to test touchpad and that responds.)
It's really odd and really annoying. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any advice?
Thanks!

I've had many issues with TrackPoint sensitivity in Windows 8 and 10 with both the T440s and the X1C3. In Win 10 I attempted to improve the scroll speed by setting the mouse wheel to roll > than 1 line at a time (e.g. 10). This worked well for a short while, but it seems that either Windows or the Synaptics driver constantly resets the value back to 1 for no apparent reason. I don't know why the TrackPoint requires such a high degree of force to make it move, even when turned to the highest speed. The driver on my T430s machine had a specific sensitivty command that functioned appropropriately. One change I would recommend is trying the concave TrackPoint cap. For some reason this helps the pointer move a bit easier without the need for such a high degree of force.

T530 Display Problem

Hi,
I got this problem last night, before restart, the display work well. But after restart, I found the display didn't work correctly, see the images I attached.
I tried to connect to extension monitor, the extension works well.
And I checked the Device Manager, it shows no abnormal device.
I am wondering if its a LCD problem or Graphic Card or Mother Board problem.
Could someone help me? Thanks in advance!

I mean there is still a good percentage that the screen is the culprit, but given your test result, the motherboard could also be at fault.
In this sort of situation, you have very little choices. You try to source a screen and test.
But given you said your warranty expired last month, maybe you can call up warranty and see whether they are willing to get the warranty extended under the grace period. Worth trying i guess.

Lenovo L430 trackpoint problems.

I've got a Lenovo L430-2465 with 64 bit Windows 7 Pro, an i5-3360M 2.8GHz CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and an Intel HD-4000 graphics card.
At seemingly random times, my trackpoint as well as the row of mouse buttons above the trackpad will stop working. It only happens when I'm playing a game. So far, it has happened in Team Fortress 2, Garry's Mod, and Half Life 2. The game never lags before or after the trackpoint quits. I can still navigate around using the trackpad. I can put my computer to sleep and immediately log back in, and the trackpoint and buttons will work perfectly. I don't even have to close my game. I've checked the control panel, and when it stops working, the trackpoint is still enabled, so it isn't an issue there. I can't find any evidence of this happening to anyone else, but any help you can give me will be very welcome.

T530 has problems running several programs

Earlier this week, my internet browser (firefox) started running like something was hogging my memory and I had installed a dozen toolbars installed. Neither of these occurred. While FF *does* tend to be a memory hog, it's not near what this system is capable of handling.
Every few minutes firefox will freeze up and 'Not Respond' for about five to ten seconds. Another application, yahoo messenger, has also stopped working completely. Other programs are afflicted, but not to this extent. Chrome, windows explorer (not internet exp. WINDOWS) will occasionally cough up if Firefox is panicking for some reason.
I've clean installed all the major afflicted programs, and have run my virus scanner, malwarebytes, and ccleaner.
Couple other things: 'Lenovo Communications Utility' no longer wants to work , and neither does the fingerprint scanner, and sometimes it takes entirely too long to recognize that I plugged in an external (if it ever does).

T540p Trackpoint - clicking virtual buttons on clickpad gives no response

I've just gotten what I hoped would be an awesome new T540p. So far, the experience is going horribly because I can't seem to use the Trackpoint reliably. Specifically, when I click the trackpoint button on either side - left or right -(virtual buttons along the top edge of the clickpad), absolutely nothing happens. No right click menu, no mouse click - no action of any kind is recorded. Let me be clear - the clickpad is visibly and fully depressed. There is no doubt at all that the clickpad has been depressed. But there is no actual mouse click action.
In order for me to get a reliable "click" out of the Trackpoint click area on the clickpad, I have to move my thumb down and in to the tracking area of the clickpad. This is very awkward and involves wrist movement. Compare this to the superior design of the old T530 trackpoint buttons - they are angled and shaped so that they are perfectly located to be pressed by your thumb without having to bend your thumb or move your wrist, your fingers get to stay right on the home row where they belong.
Lenovo: I use and love the TrackPoint. It and the keyboard are the reason I purchase thinkpads. Without it, I could and would buy any other manufacturer. Please put my TrackPoint buttons back. Or at least let me choose to order the T540 with a T530 keyboard/trackpad so that we have a choice! I would easily pay an extra $100 for the old TrackPoint buttons.

You are not the only one experiencing these problems.For a TrackPoint user the new "clickpad" is a physically flawed design. Too much pressure is required for a click, and the erratic behavior has not disappeared with any of the driver updates.
It seems that the whole physical desing of the "clickpad" without separate mouse buttons is flawed. The ergonomics of the keyboard not very good either.
I do not know any TrackPoint user who thinks the new desing usable at all. Some people liking it have written about it, but apparently most of the people who like the new desing are not TrackPoint users who do not move their hands when writing.

Replace W540 Keyboard with W541 Trackpoint Buttons

Could someone from Lenovo let the forum know if it will be possible to replace the W540 Trackpad / Bezel / Keyboard assembly with the new one from the W541 which has integrated physical Trackpoint buttons. This would make a very big difference to me and I suspect a lot of other W540 owners who use the Trackpoint. I am the current owner of 5 Thinkpads and have been a loyal customer since the 600 series. The increased pressure necessary to generate a less reliable click on the Trackpad has greatly exacerbated a problem with the top joint of my right thumb - I have had to retrain myself to use my left thumb to do all clcking. The problem was nowhere near as bad on the old Trackpoint buttons - where I could use them with my right thumb for several hours with no symptoms, I can now manage only minutes.

i too am EXTREMELY frustrated with the trackpoint. I also agree as to WHY the USB 2.0 instead of four (4) USB 3.0s. I have been a trackpoint fan since the late 80s which triggered my purchase of an IBM T21 still working having a Windows 98se operatring system. My next was a T42p having a Windows XP Pro ServPk 3. My third is a W500 for which I purchased a Microsoft Windows 7 Pro Operating System. My fourth is an x220 having a 500 GB solid state Hard Drive (upgrade from the 160 GB SSD as supplied). The fifth is the W540. It has high end upgrades of all components including a 1 Terabyte SSD I purchased and installed myself. I installed the 500 GB it came with in my W500. I read about the trackpoint problems with the W540 before purchasing but had no idea how SERIOUS the problem is until I purchased one! This Lenovo forum is LOADED with complaints and appropriate requests by dedicated Lenovo users to replace the Keyboard with a USABLE trackpoint. I am not surprised! I am a Professional Engineer having had my own consulting business for 15 years. I took a course in customer service during which I was informed of the results of NOT FIXING A PROBLEM FOR A CUSTOMER. It has a probable devastatilng affect on future sales, etc. Personnally I have always found your customer service acceptable...better with some techs than others probably depending on experience. It is extremely important you fix the problem with the trrackpoint ASAP AT NO COST TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. I haven't had the W540 very long but it's only fair to be upfront that it will be my last if IBM-Lenovo fails to fulfill a MAJOR NEED of it's otherwise dedicated customers. All else failing issue a recall and credit the owner toward a properly engineered replacement. My big questions for IBM-LENOVO are WHAT WERE YOU THINKING and WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE? Lastly I also concur with the USB Port error (WHY USB 2.0 since 3.0 ports are backward compatible). A minor problem for me personnaly is the inclusion of the number pad. It throws the trackpoint and the keyboard as typed on off center. However both of those are minor in comparison the nearly 'useless' trackipoint.

Possible firmware problem leading to bricked fingerprint reader on T530

I tried to send this through support channels but they told me there was no way to reach any developers through phone support. One guy said the developers do read the forums so I am posting this here.
Basically this is what happened: (twice!)
I had pre-boot fingerprint authentication and also swipe to power on enabled on my T530.
Everything worked great until I wanted to be sure I discharged the battery all the way by letting the machine power off from a low battery. The way I did this on previous laptops was to just run memtest86 or something until the battery ran out. but since I use the laptop in UEFI only mode memtest86 doesn't work. so I used the built in lenovo memory diagnostics. after the laptop powered off. I turned it on again. and it quickly powered back off. Afterwards the fingerprint reader refused to work for anything other than power on and refused to be connected to by the Lenovo fingerprint software.
I originally thought this was because I had turned it back on and the system was talking to the fingerprint reader as part of start up and didn't complete since the power went right back off again..
that is until I managed to break my replacement fingerprint reader. This time I just ran the memory diagnostics as before until it turned itself off. (and didn't try to turn it back on right afterwards) This time it also bricked the fingerprint reader in such a way that caused it to keep connecting and disconnecting from the USB bus somehow.
My theory is that either the UEFI firmware or the embedded system controller is not finishing the conversation with the UPEK touchchip that puts it into the low power swipe to power on mode when the battery is critically low and is causing the device firmware to become confused (the fingerpritn reader is not just a dumb reader, instead it's basically a small embedded computer). It's very easy to re-produce this problem. and I wish I had a way to just submit a bug report to someone instead of posting to a forum.
I now have a working fingerprint reader and I've disabled swipe to power on, hoping that this wont come up again. (I'm also going to avoid doing the memory test until power off thing too obviously...) Still I think it would be a simple fix to make sure it doesn't attempt to talk to the fingerprint reader as part of shutdown if the battery is low.
I still have the other 2 fingerprint readers if anyone at Lenovo wants to take a look at the state this leaves them in (although it should be very easy to re-produce this in house)
aside from this I'm very happy with my Thinkpad and I plan on getting an extended warranty and to also make my next laptop a thinkpad as well (assuming they don't do someting stupid like get rid of the trackpoint/trackpoint mouse buttons or decide to start making the thinkpad small and flimsy)

Yes I tried that. I also even did research into the upek (now owned by authentec) chip and found a dagnostics utility that also pretty much confirmed that the chip was failing to communicate. (and gave the same information that the lenovo fingerprint reader gave me) The. First one I killed could be seen but was stuck in the swipe to power on mode and wanted to be authenticated to somehow (error is could not authenticate pasport) before it would do anything else. And both the firmware and the fingerprint software had no luck doing so.
The second one I killed behaved differently, It shows up on the usb bus for a few seconds and then dissconnects and then does it all over again forever. In both cases I believe the firmware inside the fingerprint reader is being confused in a a way that is persistent across power cycles. Replacing the reader restores normal operation again. i didnt bother with thee diagnostics tool the second time incase you think I killed them with that. This time around it had problems booting and had to lift up the keyboard and unplug the cable from the palmrest, reboot and disable the fingerprint reader port before plugging the cable back in to restore normal operation to my system. otherwise it would boot only part of the time. (you could also disable pre-boot fingerprint support and it would also boot fine but then you would see a steady log of it attaching and detacthing in both windows and linux, which ofcourse is annoying)
I have saved those two parts and will ship them to you if you want to look at them.
I seem to have a knack of running into strange corner cases like this since I always seem to use my computers/software just different enough from the averge person to run into things the developers didn't consider.
I have no idea if this thing can happen any other way than the system powering off inside the memory test utility. but I would bet it is possible in other cases and might as well be looked into.
I would bet when you try to re-produce it that it can only be re-produced with the swipe to power on feature enabled. am also pretty sure that what my guess is is likely correct, that when the system forces itself off with a low battery either the UEFI firmware, or some embedded controller talks to the chip to enable the swipe to power on feature and it's powering off before the fingerprint reader is ready when the battery is critically low, screwing up the state of the firmware on the fingerprint reader chip. when I was doing searching around I was really hoping there was some vendor tool that could reset the chip, but no such luck at least nothing that's public. UPEK was bought out by authentec and a lot of their site no longer exists, authentec also seems to be bought out by digital persona and shut down much of the authentec site as well, and seem to be only licensing the IP of authentec to certain people.

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

When I navigate web with Firefox my Thinkpad trackpoint center button is not working. With other web browsers it works well. Where is the problem in firefox, how to enable TrackPoint center button?

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(

Problem T530 (Vertical thin blue line) HELP!

Hello Folks,
I just bought my T530 in July/August. I have been loving it so far.
While I was working on my laptop this morning, a sudden thin blue pixel line showed up (left corner of my screen).
What should I do? I have the regular insurance packet that came with it nothing extra...
I have never shipped back a laptop. How does this process work, and what are my next steps.
Thank you people.
I am pretty nervous about this issue. I am a student, and can't afford losing this laptop for a long long time.

Trackpoint Scroll Problem

Hi guys,
I switched to arch a few weeks ago and I love it... but one of the problems I'm having is with my xorg.conf.
I have a thinkpad t61 and I love using the trackpoint and center touch pad click to scroll up and down on webpages (much like center mouse click and scroll on a normal mouse) but I can't get it to work. I also had the tap to click running and when I upgraded synaptic it broke. Any ideas? Thanks

Problem with lenovo T530 display

I have recently bought lenovo T530, it had win7 pre-installed. and win8 upgrade disks available. I have immediatly upgraded to windows 8 then win8.1.
the problem is that the display is showing yello color instead of white, the yello keep flickering and although I have upgraded the drivers I still see the white colors as having spots of yello.
please help.

Okay here it goes...
1. First you need to save the T/W icc profile from this link: My custom profile
2. Right Click your Desktop and select "Screen Resolution"
3. Click "Advanced Settings"
4. Select "Color Management" Tab
5. Click "Color Management" button
This is where it can get a little confusing but I will try to make it clear.
6. Now that you are at the "Color Management" window, go to the "Advanced" Tab
7. Click the "Change system defaults..." button
Another "Color Management" window will open that looks just like the window you were in before, the only difference is that this one is called "Color Management - System Defaults"
8. Now go to the "Advanced" Tab in this new Window.
9. Next to the "Calibrate display" button there is a little square tick box which says "Use Windows display calibration", normally this does not have a tick in the box. Please tick this box and then press "Close"
You will now be back at the "Color Management" window, not the "Color Management - System Defaults" window.
10. In the "Color Management" window go to the "Devices" Tab
11. Place a tick next to the "Use my settings for this device" box.
12. Below go and press the "Add" button.
13. Browse to where you saved the .icc or .icm profile you want to apply and select it.
14. Now select your profile and press the "Set as Default Profile" button
If all has been done correctly you should notice a big difference on how colors are displayed. It should be for the better. If you want to toggle between having your profile ON and OFF, just tick or untick the "Use my settings for this device" box.
If you've been used to using your display with poorly calibrated colors, the new profile may come as a bit of a shock to your eyes but the colors should now be much closer to being correct than the default factory profile which is not even calibrated for the display. For example, if you are using the Windows 7 theme, you will immediately notice that the greys around boxes are grey now, not a light bluish grey.
