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....

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 .

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!
BR,

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.

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.

Help with coating coming off Apple Studio Monitor (17")

This morning the coating has just started to rub off a CRT screen monitor, making it unusable - the monitor is working fine otherwise, and we don't want to throw it away! Can anyone suggest anything to now clean all the coating off with?
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Try a product called "GOO GONE". It works on all sorts of sticky substances. It's citrus based and works wonderfully.
Just apply it to a small limited area first, as with anything new, to test its safety. But I've used it on a variety of plastics and NEVER had it cause any damage.

HP Touch Pad freezing and will not restart nor shut down.

My HP Touch Pad will not reboot nor shut off. I have a "hp" logo on the screen that will not go away. I have tried all of the 5 Ts with no sucess. I tried downloading webOS Doctor several times but when it went to connect my device I got an error message that stated " Connect your device directly to your computer with your usb cable." The screen below has "Help" and "Next". Next is greyed out. I inserted the usb cable into different ports on my computer and made sure that they were listed under my computer tab. I was unable to get the "Next" button to be useable. Any ideas about how I can make this connect to the touchpad? or even how I can get it to unfreeze. Appreciate any help.

Just to be sure you've followed the directions fully, here is my "Doctor How To" file:
How to Doctor an HP TouchPad (reflash the ROM)
On your Touchpad be sure to have:
USB cable. The battery is charged to at least 30%.
Computer:
Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows Vista Available USB port (not a hub or secondary port). Java 1.5 or later is installed. If you are not sure about what version of Java you have, or even if Java is installed, go to www.java.com and click the Do I have Java? link to install the latest version of Java. 210MB of storage space. Internet connection.
Miscellaneous Info:
The update process will take approximately 15 minutes. During this process, your device will not be available for use.
Downloading webOS Doctor
Download webOS Doctor on your desktop computer. If you have a webOS profile, get it from http://ws.hpwebos.com/webosdoctor/sorry.htm
If not, check the webOS Internals page: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions
Get your TouchPad ready to update
Hold the Power Button for several seconds until a menu appears. Tap Shut Down to completely power down your device.
Running webOS Doctor
Double-click the file that was downloaded to run webOS Doctor. Follow the on screen directions up until you are asked to connect your device. Select the language you selected on your device, and click Next. Confirm your language choice. Click Accept to accept the terms of use. Click Next. webOS Doctor checks your system. BE PATIENT! I've seen this part take a few minutes to complete. After webOS Doctor finishes checking your system, you will be asked to connect your device.
Connecting your device and finishing the webOS Doctor update
Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. You must connect your device directly to your computer, not through a USB hub or other intermediate device. Now the tricky part. Hold the Volume Up button on the device and insert the USB cable. After the large USB symbol appears on screen, let go of the Volume Up button. If you see the HP logo instead of the large USB symbol, you may have let go of the Volume Up button prematurely. If this occurred , wait until your device boots up, shut down your device and then repeat step 2. Windows will find your device and may offer to install two different drivers. When asked to install drivers of OMAP, select No, not at this time. When asked to install drivers for Palm Novacom (bootie), select Yes and let the drivers install. This may take a while. Once the drivers have been installed, the Next button will become available in webOS Doctor. Click Next. Do not disconnect your device from the computer during the update process. When the Reset Complete screen appears, click Done. Wait a few minutes for your device to reset. You're done!

Need Win7 Touch Pad Driver - Satellite A300D 13Y - PSAK4E

Hi!
Do you know when there is a touch pad driver for Windows 7 coming?
Cause my mouse scroll doesn't work...
Greez
Wendy

Hello Wendy
Please don't be mad on me but we cannot discuss on this way. If you want to have precise answer you must post your notebook model. maybe you have some old and not Win7 supported machine and this driver will not be relased at all.
So please post exact info and we can have serius discussion here.
Anyway, if you are missing Win7 touchpad driver try to install Vista driver.
I have done the same on my Satellite A300 and it works perfectly.

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.

DV6-1030US paint coming off left touchpad button

A small rice-sized irregular piece of the chrome paint has come off the plastic left button after only two months. It's not a nice smooth wear spot but with rough edges and is annoying.
I know it's just a cosmetic problem but it seems that the coating should not be coming off a two-month-old laptop that cost $700.
After about 90 minutes with HP Online Chat (who actually suggested I bring it in to the local Wal-mart for some reason !?), the Chat guy gave me a phone number and I talked with a Mumbai-based tech who was only willing to write up a service order for me to send it in which would entail unacceptable loss of use, risk of damage and the shipping expense.
I don't understand why they can't just send a new button cover. It would be cheaper than having me send in a functional laptop for a simple cosmetic repair. With 25 years of hardware & software development, I could easily change the part myself. If anyone has any clue as to how to get a replacement cover (even at my own expense), please let me know.
Meanwhile, I'll continue to be dismayed at the lack of common sense exhibited in my dealings with corporate America.

Satellite A660 - touch pad on/off and other buttons don't work

Dear People on this forum,
Recently, around 3 weeks ago i opened up my computer and i cleaned it, took the dust out because it was overheating.
around 2 weeks before I noticed that my touch pad is not working and the top buttons are not working, there is no light (wireless multimedia sound buttons) I cant turn them off/on or I either don't know how. I am not sure if the problem is because I cleaned my laptop and did not connect some wires back but I am including this detail because I don't use those buttons so I did not notice if they were on. but 2 days ago I am not sure how my wireless went off ant when I press fn+f8 (wireless) it says wireless communication switch is off, which is one of the buttons that is not working (at the top next to of/on switch including with my touch pad)
I have tried the following:
windows update
turn off computer take out all wires and battery and wait for around 30min. Then hold then on button for 30s
reinstalling the flash cards support utility, hw setup and value added pack
and finally a Toshiba out of the box recovery using the 2 product recovery cd's
I am not sure what to do next. it is either:
try something else
or is there a wire is connected to both touch pad and the buttons at the top and i should open up my laptop again and connect them.
please answer as to my next step to recovering my wireless.

Please dont understand me wrong but I dont know how to help you now. Notebook disassembling is for authorized people only and if you do this on your own there is always a risk that something can be done wrong or maybe damaged.
OK I must also say that I have also disassembled my machine too but I was lucky and everything is OK as before.
I dont know how A660 looks inside but the principle is always the same and I cannot imagine you have damaged anything.
You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you should do now is final functionality test and install original recovery image that you got with your notebook. Test functionality with factory settings. If the problem is still there, Im afraid you must open notebook again and check if everything is connected properly.
Last option is to contact service and ask for help.
