Touchpad Button Broken

Hi
The left button on my dv6 touchpad 'broke' yesterday. It only registers a click in a certain place on the button, and if you try to click on any other part of the button, it just presses right down and nothing happens.
I'm guessing the whole touchpad will have to be replaced, but wondered if anyone can confirm that, please ?
Also, does anyone know how to get HP to reply to emails submitted via their website ? I've reported this fault twice, and have had no responses whatsoever !
Many thanks
Liz

Mine broken also. a few months out of warranty. Just like the battery won't take a charge. just like they stop updating printer drives for some printers in Windows 7. They don't care. I called and tried to get some "help" with my issues, but I am out of warranty.
shame on me for spending 700 bucks on a laptop and assuming it wiykd be usable after the 12 month warranty is up.
And I was wrong. Very many people having the same issues. I guess HP should be happy they aren't a car company, because they would have been forced into recalls.
Just quit buying HP Stuff....I know I will.

HP Pavilion DV6-1264CA Artist Edition 2 left touchpad button is screwed up

I'm a proud owner of an Artist Edition DV6 laptop, but a few months ago the left touchpad button suffered a bit of a failure. Through normal use, the left side of the left button (the one you use to click on just about everything) seems to have broken down. I am not familiar with the inner workings of this device, but it feels like there are two underlying supports that hold the button up and allow it to be clicked down on, one on each side of the button.
A while ago, the left side of the button started squeaking while clicking, and now it sags down, and the button can be rocked from side to side. The right side of the button is still up, and it now sits on a slant. Visually it is just a minor annoyance, but what is driving me batty is that now the button essentially "clicks" on its own. It can still be used normally, but often the button will click multiple times within a fraction of a second. I only use the laptop for entertainment, but it's still annoying as hell, especially when playing games where unintended clicking can lead to irreversible actions.
I have looked into the HP catalog for repair parts, but as other Artist Edition owners have discovered, there are no specific parts for the AE model, and the only relevant part is a complete touchpad with the whole palm rest attached to it. Of course, the palm rest doesn't have the Artist Edition graphics on it, which I absolutely intend to keep.
So I was wondering, if i can locate another palm rest with the touchpad, is the touchpad transferrable to my palm rest? Or is it inseparable? Are all DV6 touchpads the same? Or alternately, if I disassemble my touchpad, what are the chances that it is repairable? Maybe something just popped out of place?
Oh, and before you ask, the laptop is out of warranty, and I'm not sure I trust the clowns at Best Buy to be able to fix it, and to do so in a timely manner. I'd rather explore all options and see if I can fix it myself first.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Phil

Does anybody have any input? I see tons of sellers selling HP DV6 parts on eBay, I just need to know if I can swap over a touchpad from one palmrest to another, and if all touchpads are the same in the DV6-7 range.

How to deal with those pesky touchpad buttons

The Pavilion series laptops are really well made in a lot of respects. I have owned my DV5t for almost 4 years now and I've been quite happy with it (except for rather anemic battery life). There is one thing that became a nasty problem for me, that being the left touchpad button. It is the most commonly used touchpad button and unfortunately these buttons were not well designed. They can easily break after a certain number of hits, whereby there's no longer any spring to it. Pressing the button ends up getting double-taps like mad. Also, the silver coating on them tends to wear away, looking rather unsightly over time. Once you start seeing the black plastic beneath, it won't be long before the button breaks. It's really a shame, because these tactile feel buttons work well--they just don't last. The newer HP laptops have those "lite touch" buttons which I do not like. The tactile feel is so much better. Unfortunately, it seems like most laptop makers are going with those solid state buttons to avoid another component that might go wrong. It's a shame, because with just a little more effort they could have been designed to last a very long time.
As of this writing, I have now gone through TWO of these touchpads. How did I manage to get another two chances? Well, they can be replaced but unfortunately they require you to disassemble more than half of the laptop. You see, the touchpad is integrated into the palm bezel, and the palm bezel is a piece of plastic coated metal that runs all the way to the back of the laptop. To get at it requires about an hour of taking the laptop apart. It's not for the faint of heart either. However, there is a service manual available that shows you what to do and I was able to follow it... thrice. Yes, the first button wore out after just under 2 years. The second one held up about as long. I use the touchpad buttons frequently, so... well, needless to say, now that I've got the 3rd bezel in place, I am going to rely mostly on an external mouse. And when I have to use the touchpad, I am going to use it very carefully, not exerting too much pressure (note that you can also tap the touchpad itself for a single click, something good to get into the habit of doing). Additionally, I'm going to put a sheet of protector plastic on the left mouse button to help avoid wearing out the surface.
So... one hour to disassemble it and a little more than an hour to reassemble it. It looked daunting to do at first, but believe me if you're patient and can follow instructions it is definitely doable. You don't need to be an HP tech to do it.
As for the parts, I obtained them from eBay. Apparently there are a lot of excellent condition used parts available from a variety of sources. I got the bezel for just under $30 shipped. Also, the speaker grille part is metal and tends to dent, so this time around I replaced it as well as the keyboard (the original was fine, but just a little touchy on one or two keys). With all 3 of these parts replaced, my laptop feels like new all over again. As for obtaining parts, you'll need to do your homework with the HP parts finder. There are many variants of the Pavilion laptop models with many parts in common, so the part you need can vary by number. The parts catalog can help you find them.
Anyway, that's about it. After having done this for the 3rd time, I figured there might be others out there with this problem on the brink of tossing out the laptop or selling it for parts on the cheap. It's salvageable!

Thank you for your information and support. I may have to replace my touch pad and keyboard and you have given me hope and confidence. Thank you again,

Left touchpad button delay in web browsers

I'm at a loss to figure out what could be causing my left button on my touchpad to delay intermittently. On both Google Chrome (whether stable, beta or dev) and Firefox, the left button when pressed may not respond for up to a few seconds. This is most noticeable when using Google Street View and Google Maps, which refuse to change viewpoint when holding down the left button. It isn't a Flash fault because there is also a delay when highlighting text.
I can rule out the possibility of any hardware fault as the left button on the touchpad works fine elsewhere, within KDE (ie. drag and dropping works without delay or fault) and other applications.

Hello kal33,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the left part of the clickpad is not working. To assist you, please try all of the steps in this HP document: Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
If these steps do not help, then there could be a hardware issue. Since the computer is in warranty, I would contact HP phone support for hardware assistance. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for bringing this issue to the HP Forums. Have a great day!

My Toshiba L305 - Both Buttons Broken (AGAIN) - TOSHIBA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS

So my left button broke (i didn't do anything) and so since it was under warranty, I was directed to a local authorized repair shop and they had to order the whole new keyboard that includes the little piece of junk plastic piece underneath the button. They fixed it the same day as I watched them and they did a perfect job. They also showed me the little cheap, litte, junky little piece of plastic that supported both buttons and that broke in my case. We both concluded that of course it would break again. Anyway, time goes by and the inside of the power piece broke off. So we go through the same routine. I go to the repair shop, they fix it and they say its common. In this case they even somehow strenghtened it so it would not happen again! So more time goes by (still under the year warranty as of Dec 21, 2009). Now, both my buttons again no longer work (big suprise). So since it is still under warranty, I call Toshiba but now they are saying they changed the rules since two Mondays ago and that I can no longer take it to that local authorized repair center (even though they rocked) but now I have to send in my laptop to Toshiba's official repair center. Needless to say, i wouldn't get my laptop back for 10 days. I run my business from my laptop so how on earth can I send it in? Anyway, I fought a lot with them on the phone and even got to the 'top' of the customer relations department, a frustrated lady named Mina, but she says there is nothing else they can do. No loaner, no replacement, can't get my money back, etc. The only thing I can do is send in my work laptop and not have it for 10 days. So what is ironic is I purchased a Toshiba laptop because I heard they were one of the best made computers. I now know that I was GREATLY misinformed. This is the worst situation I have ever seen in a computer business. The good news is that I am in IT and have lots of clients and so now I have the priviledge of telling my clients to run from Toshiba. I write all this for any of you out there who may have the same problem (because I am positive there will be many more since it is a tiny little piece of plastic underneath your buttons). It is clear to me that this is a defect.
My two big problems with this whole thing:
1. How can anyone expect someone to not have their laptop that they use to run a business for 10 days?
2. Why even have it fixed it if is just going to brake again?
3. So because of the 3 defects of this computer, now Toshiba is punishing me further!
If anyone is reading this who is thinking about buying a toshiba laptop, DON'T DO IT. Save yourself a lot of time, frustration and punishment from the company called, 'Toshiba'. Go with a Dell. Go with anything other than Toshiba. I will say it again: Tosbiba laptops are defective and Toshiba's policies show that they clearly don't care about the customers!

At least Toshiba is covering your repairs under Warranty. My ex-wife's new HP had one of the touchpad buttons break on her system and they want $400 bucks to fix it claiming that physical damage like that isn't covered.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Touchpad button problem

Hi all,
A few weeks ago my MacBook (original Core Duo model) started detecting clicks on the touchpad button as double-clicks in the OS. This doesn't happen all the time, and seems much more likely to occur when I press on the left side of the button than the right, so I'm assuming it's a hardware issue.
Does anyone have a rough idea of how much it'd cost to get repaired at a UK Apple store? It's been out of warranty for a while unfortunately.
Thanks
J

I have two MB's one has a crisp trackpad button while the other had a mushy button. I fixed the mushy button quite easily. Take out the battery and look at the metal panel directly underneath the trackpad button. You'll see a circular indention in the metal. If you press lightly on the indention and at the same time press on the trackpad button you'll notice that the trackpad button's response is more crisp (at least mine was). I just pressed on the spot a few times to force the metal to bow every so slightly (not perceptible to the eye). Now my button clicks quite nicely across the entire button.

[SOLVED] Slow/sluggish touchpad buttons response (sometimes)

Hi all,
I have had this problem for some months now but have never looked into it, even if it is pretty annoying.
Sometimes (say one boot every three) the touchpad buttons of my laptop (see sig) behave strangely. Their response time is very long, I have to keep them pressed for ~half a second to make them trigger correctly.
This is very annoying when editing texts (selection a section of text with the touchpad) and using any click intensive application (ie editing a presentation with Prezi).
I use KDE and the only touchpad configuration I've ever done has been done via synaptiks.
I cannot tell after what update this started, it was too long ago unfortunately.
Since this happens only sometimes I don't even know where to start looking!
EDIT: I stress the fact that this happens with buttons, not with tapping

Just FYI,
this one solved itself some months ago after some kind of update.

EliteBook 8350p TouchPad Button issue.

The middle touchpad button on my EliteBook 8530p is not showing up under Mouse in Control Panel so I can't configure it to open links in a new tab when pressed. Any thoughts on how to fix this?
Running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit.

Hey shifty137,
Try re-installing the touchpad driver: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3782359&...
Then, in the Mouse control panel, go to the Synaptics tab and see if you can configure the buttons there.

Hp notebook 15-n051sm (F4C10EA) Touchpad buttons hard to press

Hi, i bought Hp notebook 15-n051sm(F4C10EA) few days ago, from first moment noticed when you need to use touchpad buttons that they require quite good force for pressing them.
It isnt issue if you use short period of time but for longer usability it's annoying experience.
Had few Hp notebook before and never had some strange experience with touchpad buttons.
Is this normal way to use touchpad buttons of this Notebook models or it's hardware issue which would be better to send product back to seller?
Ty on answers in advance.

Hi,
According to a service manual, the touchpad is a part of the top cover. You have to replace whole top cover..
Top cover part number: 496881-001
Service manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01705400.pdf
See page 71 how to replace it..

Satellite U400 - Is it possible to replace the touchpad button?

Hello
I need help please. I want to know if there is a possible way to change the button at my Satellie U400 because they are getting soft and they are not as good and hard as it was before, so please anyone know's if I can remove those and put 2 new one's?
If you dont understand exactly what I mean take a look at the picture and you will see/understand.
[http://oi56.tinypic.com/j0wwoj.jpg]
thank you.

Hi Loow,
Im sure its possible to replace the touchpad buttons because you can replace everything on a notebook. But I think its a little bit tricky because you have to disassemble a lot of parts and thats not easy.
You should ask an authorized service provider The guys can order new spare part for you and exchange it. Just write an email for example to get in contact with them.
You can find a list of ASPs here:

Macbook touchpad button issue

I recently bought a base model macbook. The touchpad button was placed more left than it should be, thus when you click the left part of the button, sometimes it rub the body and then not only generate annoying sound but also make the click difficult. Also the distance between the right side of button and the body is a little bit bigger than that on the left which makes the macbook looks wierd.
Does anyone know how to fix it (Probably just reposite the button a little to the right) easily other than send it to apple and wait?

Not sure that this is the same, but my Macbook's trackpad responds intermittently. After MB's in use for say 4 minutes, when I try using the trackpad, it doesn't respond. Always on the left. The left side of the trackpad is unresponsive!
Other problem is the mooing or purring of my optical disk(?).
I am thoroughly disappointed at the performance and these little kinks are annoying! Not to mention the service at the Apple store, from one employee telling me to open my window to let more noise in, in order to drown the mooing/purring sound to another bribing me to buy ProCare, saying only then would they swap the FAULTY Macbook.
Disappointed. Anyone have any ideas how to go about this one?
