Touchpad does not work even after format - x220t

Hi there,
I've had my X220 tablet for about 10 months and it has been great. For the last month however, the touchpad and touchpoint have become flaky. When rebooted or coming out of standby, the touchpoint/touchpad often did not work; after resetting a few times, i would work, but then stop working again when the system when into standby mode.
I thought this was a driver issue, but uninstalling and reinstalling to the newest drivers did nothing. I have also updated/reset the BIOS.
I have more recently have not been able to get the touchpad working at all now and relying on just the touchscreen for input is very frustrating.
When Windows 8 CP came out this week, I decided to give the computer a fresh format and reinstall Windows --- maybe that would resolve the issue. No luck. The touchpoint/touchpad did not work even in Windows 8.
I read around a bit and have tried disabling JUST the touchpad in the BIOS, and amazingly, the touchpoint will work fine when I do that. When I disable just the touchpoint or leaving both enabled, neither the touchpad or touchpoint will work.
As far as I can tell from what I have been able to diagnose, the touchpad is damaged and is causing a conflict with the touchpoint when enabled. I am not sure of this, but it is my belief now.
Are there solutions out there for me? I do have 2 months left on my warranty, but I hope to keep mailing my notebook in for support as a last resort.
thank you,
steve

If you are ready to reinstall Windows, try this method:

If after that your trackpoint/touchpad still don't work, I think one of them (or both) is defective.

After upgrading to Lion Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

After upgrading to Lion, Image Capture does not work, even though it is intel software. Gives error 9931. What gives?

Ouch, if it is indeed damaged, then sadly you need to restore the whole danged huge OS!
Didn't used to be this way before Lion/10.7.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

How does a usb keyboard attached externally work?
You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

Social App not working even after update from noki...

nokia n8 social loading feeds.
My wife and i have the same problem now, only last week she said my phone will not work on facebook the widget on main home screen will not load feeds at all, and the widget is now blank saying refresh all the time, so i linked the phone up to the computer and did a scan for new updates with nokia updater which you can download from nokia site.
Its now the 4th jan and the phones still will not work even after and update from a socail app,
nothing , facebook will load after a few pushes, and looks like its loading till it says loading feeds then it says the (wording unable to load news feeds)

Uninstall the social app and reboot your phone. Then go to software updates and reinstall from the offering given in the updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled social twice and it has worked both times.

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software

My webcam is not working even after I reinstall the system software.
My questions are follows:
Should I bring it to repair or get a external webcam?
At approximately how much would be cost for repair?
Which webcam I should get?
Thank you very much!

Update, I fixed it although it feels more like a workaround. I had to enable the extension in extension manager. That still left a blank panel, but once I closed and reopened the panel I was prompted to login. Seems that closing and reopening the panel is the fix once it is enabled.

All iPad buttons are not working even after resetting it (hard, soft and via iTunes).

All iPad 2 buttons are not working even after I resetting it. I tried both of the hard and soft reset, and even resetting my iPad via iTunes.
The volume buttons work after I tried this method : "hold iPad in landscape mode. Push the home button while rotating it to Portrait mode, release it."

I have the same issue, nothing I did fixed the problem, I would suggest if you can visit apple store and give us your feedback with them.
for me I can't go to apple store because I don't have any store near me, I will have to wait for 2 months to travel!

Error Parser does not work, even in SSX3

SunSudio Express (December 2006 release) introduces some interesting new features, but there are still problems. For the first time, I was able to debug Fortran 90 applications in Linux, but debugging is still very limited. Furthermore, the Fortran error parser does not work, even when compiling using Sun's f95 compiler. This is a heavy disadvantage. I assume that Fortran error parsing is not supported on Linux, although the tutorials don't make this point clear: In the Options window, there are settings concerning C/C++ (and its parser), but there are no similar options for the Fortran parser, even in "Advanced Setings" (which are similar to the old Options window). My Linux system is Debian 3.1 (Sarge), with JDK 1.5.0.09.
I don't think that I'm doing something wrong, but I want to ask, just to be sure: has someone had seen the Fortran error parser working on Linux? What about Fortran word completion?

Window 10 upgrade. Graphics driver not working even after re-install

Notebook pavilion DV6 3280. Just upgraded to Windows 10 and AMD graphics driver not working even after re-install. What do I do? Is there another driver not on the HP Website that I should try?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

My wacom tablet does not work correctly after updating to mavericks.

My wacom doesn't work.

Jason, how did you switch back? My tablet does not work either. All I can do for the moment is work on my laptop which has the old system.
Thanks,
Teresa
I was almost certain that the new osx would be trouble as was Lion and after that Mountail Lion. So, instead of my usual hard drive clone, which I make with superduper, I made a second one just to be certain. After 10 minutes of Mavericks, I am happy back to snow leopard.
I really think that it is the most developed, glitch free operating system. If it wasn't for all these money thirsty companies stopping the support of the previous op. systems perhaps we could stop at Snow leopard. What more to ask. Even aesthetically osx 10.9 is much worse that snow leopard.
Anyway, long answer. sorry. It is a good habit to clone your HD once in a while.
p.s. my only reason for wanting to upgrade is because Lightroom stopped support but I am still doing my work with the previous versions. I guess people will allways think that if they have the newest, biggest, baddest version of a software will make them better in what they do..or in who they are, really.

Accidentally deleted x protect meta.plist and plug in not working even after downloading latest

Hi all
Need some help here. It started off like this - after upgrading to mavericks, i had a problem viewing some java stuff. Googled and read somewhere to delete the x protect meta.plist and thus, did so. After doing that, my youtube videos etc all couldnt work. So googled again and did whatever the rest suggested - download latest version of Java, uninstall java and reinstall again, install other versions of java etc etc. all didnt worked.
Someone just pointed out that I had deleted a very critical security file (x protect meta.plist) and might have more problems that I thought on my hand.
Im not very technical or IT saavy, so please kindly advise. Most of the problems surfaced after deleting that file. And right now, plug in for videos are still not working even though I have attempted various 'solutions' suggested in this forum (the not too technical ones) and java is still cranky. Pls advise. thanks!

Anyone able to help?
1) How did u solve the missing/out of date plugin?
- Have tried installing numberous times the latest version - doesnt work
- Tried uninstalling and then reinstalled earlier versions of java - doesnt work too
read somewhere to delete the xprotect meta plist - realised much later that piece of advice was for snow leopard OS and thus, did not work too. A forummer told me today this file is a critical security file and i should not have deleted it. WHat can I do now?
current situation:
still cant play youtube videos and other videos.
java on some sites still cant work
