Thinkpad T440 trackpad and trackpoint trouble

Hi,
My trackpad and trackpoint have stopped working on my T440 running Windows 8.1.
When running Lenovo Solution center it says that a PS/2-compatiable mouse is inactivated and I can't see any of the pointing devices in the device manager.
When I try to install the appointed UltraNav driver I sometimes get an error which says the installation was unsuccessful. Sometimes the installation is successful but when I reboot the computer the devices still doesn't work and when I try to configure them through the control panel I get an error which says that the driver doesn't work.
I have also checked so that both devices are enabled in BIOS.
Thanks
Jakob

Try a bootable Linux live environment and see if fails similarly there. If so, it's probably a hardware fault.

  • Trackpad and Trackpoint stop working all the time

    Hi Lenovo!
    I'm loving my thinkpad tablet! Only issue I have really had so far is that the trackpad and trackpoint stop working every once in a while... (as in once a month they will suddenly stop working). Then I install a driver, they start working again, only for the same problem to turn up after some more time has gone by. Last time this happened, installing the driver didn't help, nor did doing windows restore, which was very worrisome...
    I've had this laptop for less than a year so it is still under warranty, but I was wondering if there is a quick fix?
    Much appreciated!

    If two different ATVs are having the same problem on the same TV, the problem could be the HDMI cable or the HDMI port on the TV.

  • Spilt water on T420 - Trackpad and Trackpoint L-Click not working

    Hi there,
    So the other night I (quite stupidly) spilt water on my trackpad. I put it straight in the airing cupboard to dry it out for 2 days, and everything works fine except for my trackpad and the left-click button of my trackpoint.
    Is there anything I can do about this? Is it possible to repair the trackpoint? (I don't use the trackpad)
    Will sending it back to Lenovo (UK) do anything?

    Remove your keyboard and palmrest and clean up everything you can find with Isopropyl alcohol paying close attention to connectors. It doesn't take much to cause an issue with the keyboard connector.
    If the keyboard is gunked up you can always buy another keyboard on eBay.
    Good luck

  • Lenovo Thinkpad T420 trackpad and touchpad right/left click stopped working

    So I have had a very... VERY... irritating problem with my Thinkpad.
    For the first 6 or so months I had the laptop it worked fine. Then, the left click on the touchpad was functioning like the right click (bringing up a menu). 
    I immediately disabled the touchpad and then used the trackpad right and left clicks which worked perfectly.
    After another 4 or 5 months, those buttons stopped working altogether. I could still use the touchpad to move the arrow, but I couldn't click on anything.
    I bought an external USB mouse and that worked fine for another 2 months. Then for a few weeks, it would work on and off. I'd have to wiggle it around in the USB ports to get the laptop to recognize it. (it had nothing to do with the ports... there were 3 of them and they all worked fine).
    Then it stopped working completely, AND, my laptop refuses to acknowledge ANY USB I plug in. 
    I have run out of options now. I can't even install anything, download any files from lenovo website. I can't do anything. Does anyone know if it is still salvageable? Has anyone had the same problem?
    The lenovo digitizer for tablets.... would that work for this thinkpad? (sorry... not as tech savvy as the rest of you)
    Thanks a bunch,
    Amanda

    Here was my solution to this. My left click button on both the trackpad and touch pad suddenly stopped working on me. After putting up with this for a few weeks I decided to investigate. I found if I disabled the touch pad the trackpad left click would start to work again. So I investigated by carefully popping off the left click button for touchpad. Everything looked normal, so I investigated a little father buy removing the small round blueish rubber piece in the middle of the button. Once I did this I realized it quite dirty, with a soft cloth and a toothpick I cleaned both the contacts on the PC and the the black spot on the rubber piece, putting everything back together and my left click worked once again. 
    The cause of my problem was just a build up of dirt under the rubber contact which caused the button to short out and disable itself. 
    I didn't have to reinstall any software or drivers. 

  • T440s touchpad and trackpoint issue

    I have a new T440s which came with Windows 8, and I upgraded to 8.1
    Nothing strange installed in it.
    Sometimes touchpad and/or trackpoint don't work at all after turning on, rebooting or recovering from a suspended state.
    It never fails while the system is running.
    When it happens, I reboot and it works fine.
    Already upgraded everything using System Update (BIOS, etc) and Windows Update.
    Sounds to me as a driver issue, not a hardware issue... but I am not 100% sure.
    What should I do?
    Should I reinstall any driver? How?

    Uninstall the UltraNav driver from Device Manager or Programs and Features. Then run System Update; it should offer the UltraNav driver again.
    Alternatively, here's the manual download:

  • Thinkpad T440s - trackpad not working after wake up

    HI,
    I have an annoying issue with my new T440s.
    Trackpad stops working after I get it out of sleep. In fact, it works partially (two finger, edge scrolling is OK).
    Even I re-install the driver, it won't work everytime.
    Any suggestions? Is this a hardware issue?
    thank you.

    Just more information about the issue:
    The trackpad is acting like being disabled in BIOS.
    2 finger scroll , side scroll are fine. When my screen dims down, I touch the pad and screen is back up.
    "enable touchpad" is grayed out in Mouse Properties under control panel.
    All trackpad features are fine, only the mouse is not working.
    Another thing I noticed: when I get to Windows login screen works fine (sometimes), but then, once I get authenticated and get Windows loaded, its stops working.
    BTW, I'm using Windows 7
    Driver reinstall, reload factory image, enabled/disabled in BIOS.. nothing helps.
    Hopefuly a Lenovo stuff would read this and share some thoughts.
    This is my second 440s replacement. First one did not wake up, after it gets to sleep.

  • 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!

  • Ubuntu 13.10 on a T440 - Wifi, Sound, Fingerprint reader and TrackPoint issues

    I recently got my t440 and put Ubuntu 13.10 on it and have had a few problems pop up. Hopefully someone here can help, or I will find solutions and post here as things get working again.
    Wifi - I have a Thinkpad  11b/g/n 2x2 wireless card. I do not believe there are currently Linux drivers provided for this card. According to thinkwiki, the 1x2 version of the card works with real tek's rtl8192se driver; I have tried to load it with modprobe, but it does not work for this card. There might be a solution to this with ndiswrapper, but I haven't been successful. I have ordered an intel wireless card to replace this one.

    TrackPoint - The trackpoint pointer works fine, but lenovo did away with the physical left/middle/right click buttons.

    Fingerprint reader- above links do not resolve the problem. fprintd and frprint-demo do not recognize the Validity fingerprint sensor. My issues are the same as described in this post.

  • T440s: computations and trackpad

    Hi guys,
    Four quick questions for you regarding t440s, which hopefully will help me decide if to buy this model:
    1. In your experience, can you do computations on this ultrabook (assuming 12GB)? e.g. Eclipse, Visual Studio, Matlab, etc.
    2. Trackpad sound when pressing it down: how bad is it actually? Can you tap on the trackpad, without pressing it down, similar to Mac? 
    3. How would you rate t440s trackpad compared to Mac?
    4. Most reviews seem to refer to a Windows configuration. How would that change for linux?
    Thanks!

    I will answer this one:
    2a. Trackpad sound when pressing it down: how bad is it actually?
    It is louder than I would prefer, but it is not uncomfortable.  If I was in a room with several other people using the same trackpad, it might get annoying.
    My trackpad was defective to begin with - it was very loud.  I had it replaced and now it is more tolerable.
    2b. Can you tap on the trackpad, without pressing it down, similar to Mac?
    Yes you can just tap your finger without pressing it down.  And you can tap two fingers apart to trigger a right click.

  • External ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint issues with scroll (55Y9003) and hotkeys on a x201

    Hello
    Once more there is a glitch with the drivers for this external keyboard 55Y9003.
    I have the drivers:
    16.2.19.13 for the ultranav system of the x201
    1.10 for the external keyboard
    My system is XP sp3.
    The keyboard of the x201is fine relative to the one  55Y9003.
    The scrolling is set to standard for both systems.
    Please do not advise to select smooth; it is not a solution and the smooth scrolling has been systematically utterly unusable.
    The issues:
    -the hotkeys on the external keyboards are not all working:
    basically, fn+f4 and fn+nmlk work but the rest does not (say fn+f8)
    -the scrolling of the external keyboard is not at all identical to the scrolling of the x201.
    For instance, in pdfs viewed with foxit for instance, I have not a problem to scroll horizontally with the x201 starting with the hand tool.
    WIth the external keyboard, whan I press the middle button to activate the scrolling, it remains the hand tool, I can scroll vertically but not horizontally.
    FIrefox as also issues whith the middle button.
    -the external keyboard still suffers from the sticky shift key.
    I know the x201 and the 55Y9003 are no longer fashionable, but  Is there some directly  guy working at Lenovo who could help ?

    I have the ThinkPad USB keyboard on a non-Lenovo desktop, and it works.
    Yes the keyboard driver installs, but not the Lenovo System Interface Driver, for obvious reasons. All the buttons and TrackPoint work.
    Yes the TrackPoint does not scroll in all programs. Search the community for "trackpoint scroll fix" and you will come up with instructions on how to fix this.
    I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

  • ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053) and Keyboard Customizer Utility

    Hi:
    I have a ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053),
    I install the driver 1.0.7 and Keyboard Customizer Utility 1.0.01 for it.
    But, Browser Back/Forward Key of my ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053) can't control by Keyboard Customizer Utility.
    Keyboard Customizer Utility only work for my keyboard of R61.
    Somebody can help me, plz?
    My ThinkPad is R61, os is win vista business.

    Hi Jochem,
    I have an SK-8845 that I like a lot and I've been running driver version 1.06.  I didn't even know that 1.08 was out.  I'm not an employee, so I don't have any insight on future driver releases.  I've had some scrolling issues myself in some programs, but after I did this, I haven't had any issues.
    I just installed your driver, (1.08) and everything seems to be working okay.  I haven't tested it fully yet.  I saved my old driver though, just in case.

  • ThinkPad T440 and Windows XP

    Hello,
    does anybody know if the ThinkPad T440 still supports Windows XP (I don't think so)?
    Kind regards
    Alex
    Solved!

    T440 definitely does not support XP.  As Microsoft will stop supporting XP within a couple months it did not make business sense to provide/test drivers for XP anymore.  It is past time to start using a different OS.

  • Thinkpad T440s freezes with 2nd monitor via dock

    Hi there - I have a strange problem with my Thinkpad T440s:
    Connecting a 2nd monitor directly (VGA) works like a charm, however putting the Thinkpad into the docking station (with the 2nd monitor connected to the dock) freezes the system. Without the 2nd monitor the dock is working fine. When booting with the 2nd monitor connected to the dock, both screens stay black as soon as the kernel loads.
    Is this a known problem / any ideas? Can I somehow help fixing this problem?
    I know that I'm not the only one since I have found other people reporting this here: http://thinkpad-forum.de/threads/165520 … -und-Linux
    They also provided an xorg.log (http://pastebin.com/Qk7nHVwt) which shows nothing suspicious, I guess...
    Last edited by madevr (2013-11-18 16:32:21)

    Same issue with my T440p. Happens with VGA, DP & HDMI (haven't tested DVI) on the dock. Undocking unfreezes it. If X is running the X server freezes and consumes 20% CPU, if none is running a kworker process does that. Even with no monitor attached it will freeze when the builtin monitor wakes up from sleep (again, undocking helps).
    Here's a stack trace from the frozen X (^C'd while it was frozen from waking up the display, gdb only reacted again after undocking):
    #0 0x00007fe972febf87 in ioctl () from /usr/lib/libc.so.6

    Edit: "Solved" by returning the laptop. This issue plus the loud (and not well-controllable) fan and the lack of support for the fingerprint sensor (different from previous ThinkPad models, it's from Validity Sensors) just aren't worth the trouble.

  • Thinkpad T440s cannot connect to displayport

    Hi, I just installed arch on a Thinkpad T440s and I've managed to configure most things to my liking, but for some reason I cannot recognize displays plugged into the mini displayport. No matter what I have plugged in, the output of
    $ xrandr -q
    is always:
    Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1600 x 900, maximum 32767 x 32767

    VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    This also doesn't show the VGA port at all, which confuses me. I have the latest version of the xf86-video-intel driver installed. I also tried forcing output to DP1 with:
    $ xrandr --addmode DP1 1600x900
    $ xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1600x900
    but this failed with output
    xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
