Trackpad Button Not Working and More...

Hi,
As of last night my trackpad button just stopped working. No slow degradation of clicks or anything....it just stopped. As in I couldn't click anything on screen....the trackpad movement was absolutely fine...just no click ability.
So, my immediate thoughts were "it's a mechanical problem...gonna have to replace it. I know, I'll use a USB mouse for now." So, I plug it in and the left mouse button does not work. This is a brand new mouse....but just for the sake of it I tried another one from my PC with left and right buttons on it.....same problem.
I knew that it couldn't be mechanical because surely the mouse clicks would have worked ok. It had to be a problem with the OS or the firmware that drives it. So, I first reset the PRAM, reset the PMU and even opened up the Open Firmware screen on boot-up and 'reset-all' in there. No joy.
I then booted up from CD....same problem.
I 'Archived and Installed' new version of OSX....same problem.
I have now completed erased my hard drive and installed a completely clean version of OSX.....and I get the same no click situ.
Before I go chaging the trackpad (which actually involves changing the entire top plate) has anyone got any ideas as to what this problem might be??
And has anyone experienced a broken trackpad button that also effects the way a USB mouse clicks?

Hey there,
Did you get this problem fixed?
I am having the exact same problem.
Only I just re inserted the start up install disk and the track pad and mouse worked fine.
But now I'm logged back into OSX again the problem is back.

Those are hardware issues. You can try all of the software troubleshooting if you want. Restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If that does not work, then your only option is to pay someone for something. The decision is up to you, but I've provided the options.

Hello Frajaisa
I have highlighted below the troubleshooting steps for issues with the Home button slowly responding.

The Home button is slow to respond
If the Home button is slow to respond when exiting one application, try another application.
If the issue exists only in certain applications, try removing and reinstalling those applications. Get further assistance in installing and troubleshooting applications.
If the issue continues, Try turning iPhone off and then on again. If the iPhone will not restart, try resetting it.
If the issue is still happening, try to restore the iPhone.

Unexpected performance of Firefox in Windows 7, namely minimize/maximize/close buttons not working and unable to move/resize window.

I have been using FF for a while now. My main computer was WinXP-32, though I recently bought a new laptop with Win7-64 installed. This problem was never experienced on my WinXP machine.
Brief description of problem:
After a time of having FF up and running, the minimize/maximize/restore/close buttons in the top-right no longer work as expected and, if not maximised, I cannot move the window around my desktop nor resize the browser window. When clicked, the buttons will
rapidly flash on and off continuously without appearing to perform any noticeable function other than temporarily hogging CPU cycles. I've found that clicking (sometimes double clicking) in the main browser window then mousing over the buttons again seems
to stop them flashing, though does nothing else.
To minimize/maximize/restore/move/close the window(s), I have to right-click on the relevant tab in my taskbar and pick the desired option. Occasionally, however, even this doesn't work and the right-click menu will disappear as soon as I move the mouse
over it after right-clicking. 'Show desktop' is a temporary fix for minimising windows and 'ALT + F4' or 'CTRL + W' for closing windows or tabs. This isn't satisfactory and to move or resize a window, I have to close the window in question (sometimes all other
windows too), reopen it and do what I need to do, though sometimes even this is only a very short fix. If I have to close all the windows, FF will sometimes keep running for a while afterwards, even though no windows are actually open - simply ending the process
via the windows task manager will fix this though is only a work-around, not a fix.
One thing I have noticed is that if I manage to move the browser window (when not maximised), for a short period afterwards I can often resize the window successfully. This is more likely to occur if the browser window is not flush with the edge of my screen
once moved.
I've tried to include as much information as I can - most of which was determined after several minutes/hours of playing around with different scenarios, trying to manually reproduce particular problems or simply through sheer luck of happening to click
in the right place at the right time! I hope there is a reasonably fix for this at some point in the not-too-distant future.
I noticed in some of the threads at another site where people have voiced problems similar to mine, that a link to 'ObjectDock' was discovered in some cases. I do have 'ObjectDock 1.90 Plus' installed on my machine and use it in many ways and so decided
to see if I could find a connection between the two. I have uninstalled, tested, and reinstalled both programs in a multitude of ways, though could find no conclusive correlation between having both bits of software running or installed at the same time and
the problems I am experiencing. In my case, at least, this does not appear to be an answer.
Also, in another thread on this site, someone suggested there might be a link with AVG Anti-Virus Free (I have version 9.0.819) though I've tried uninstalling it and its various add-ons in several different combinations, with no noticeable improvement.
Sorry for such a long question... If you need to know anything more, just let me know!
- James

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Buttons not working and difficult to unlock

hi, does anyone know how i can fix my blackberry curve 8520 or is it to be deemed unfixable!?
I have been having difficulties unlocking the handset and have to hold the mute button for a long period of time, however when i came to use it the other day even this didnt work and when i managed to get it to work but it automatically locked after only a few seconds.
when i can get my phone to work the majority of the buttons fail to work.
Is there anything i can do?
The warranty ran out on it 5 months ago and it is on pay as you go, but would carphone warehouse (where i brought the phone from)
Would appreciate any form of help lol
thanks

Often problems with the buttons duplicating characters or not working at all, is an indication of moisture problems.
It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
*Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
*On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
*On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

Trackpad button not working on 2.53GHz MBP 13in...

Hi Guys,
The trackpad button has just stopped working. It still clicks but nothing happens. Furthermore whilst using 'Tap to click' works I cannot drag anything to the trash or move anything at all unless I plug in a USB mouse.
The only thing I've done is a routine software update and restart!
Any ideas please?
Thanks

I have the same model and my trackpad has been acting weird ever since the OS update. I can't drag or highlight text...which means that single finger swipe action doesn't work anymore. I can still use 2 finger swipe action to scroll. Bizarre no?
I updated 10.6.6 on 2/23/11. I didn't notice this happening until last week on 3/3. Probably because this isn't my work Mac. I haven't updated the MBP at work and def afraid to right now.
I've been scouring the web and it seems like many people have various issues with their trackpad after this last upgrade. Someone said they had to reinstall the OS. UGH.
I tried changing trackpad settings that some people suggested. Still nothing. I'm about to head to the Genius Bar. Going to keep trying to find a solution.
I'm going to try replacing the trackpad. I'll let you know what happens...
Well I have just replaced the trackpad and that has solved my issues. I hope that solves a problem for you guys. You just need to locate a part and fit it. It's not difficult, just fiddly because the screws are very small.
Cheers

Hyperlink Activation Button not working any more in CMS Toolbar.

I'm a long term FF user. I'm using 9.0.1 on a Mac.
Just recently though, I can no longer use a LINK BUILDER button in some of our clients' Content Management Systems.
When I click on the LINK ICON in a text box formatting toolbar - nothing happens - previously a pop-up window would appear to enable me to activate the text as a hyperlink.
Nothing has been updated on the website itself to create this problem.
I've checked my POP-UP BLOCKER in my FF Preferences and find it is NOT ticked as yes. The website CMS I'm using is ASP programming.
I can be contacted at [email protected] if you have suggestions or questions.

@ cor-el : Faster then I thought,and in safe-mode,the Panorama-button is
working again!
Deleted some tab-related addons some time ago,because they seemed not to
work properly with Panorama.And as a replacement for the TabGroupsMenu,I
installed EnhancedMiddleClick.
My idea was,that it is more a menu-thing,didn't thought,it could be the
reason for the problem.
Now I deactivated it after the safemode/restart,and it was the culprit!
Thanks for initiating me to try the safe-mode!
But why these addon(EnhancedMiddleClick v0.3.1) is not greyed-out on
your addon-page,like other ones?
Maybe,you can recommend an addon which is able to work with tabgrouping
correctly on IW 11.0 (backported for Debian-Squeeze)?
@ cor-el2 : I tried it that way,but when I restart,the new first window
shows the same behaviour.
Thanks up to here,

Trackpad buttons not working, ideas?

A few weeks ago my trackpad buttons on my macbook unibody started to become unresponsive and then a few days ago they completely stopped working. They no longer click down AT ALL. I followed a few tutorials to try and fix it, including adjusting the screw for the trackpad slightly. I pulled the back off, took out the battery, cleaned everything. It completely works, but only when the computer is upside down! (ie. when I try it upright, it does absolutely nothing. As soon as I flip it over, it clicks fine). I really don't have time/money to bring this in, so if anyone else has had this problem and fixed it, please share.

Hi,
UPDATE 21/12/14 - I have tried installing all win 7, win 8.1, win 8 and win xp drivers from the lenovo g710 downloads page and the trackpad buttons still do not work, I am about to try the drivers from other lenovo laptops and see if they work but I doubt it.
My trackpad current driver is ELAN version 11.4.25.1
I really need some help as it is driving me crazy!!
Thanks

Trackpad Buttons not working on Lenovo G710

Hi all,
I am running windows 8 and I have the Lenovo G710 Laptop. I have been having this same problem with my trackpad on my Lenovo G710 laptop for a while now. When I got the laptop last xmas, the trackpad was working fine. But in about April this year the trackpad's buttons stopped working. The little symbol in my taskbar shows that the left button is pressed down when it is not and the right button as being up/normal, it is a real pain as I can move the cursor around but I cannot click on anything on the left or right buttons.
Thanks

SOLVED!--Media Buttons not working and TVAP will NOT uninstall

I have a A660D-STNX2 running WIN 7 sp 1.
The media buttons have stopped working and all threads concerning this have one reinstalling TVAP. Trying that has not changed functionality. I believe it is because I cannot uninstall TVAP. Uninstall gives a an immediate error of RegDBGetItem failed (1) . Which I think means the registry does not contain the item to be removed.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
UPDATE!!
Was able to restore backup of registry, then could uninstall TVAP. Installed updated TVAP (from web site) and buttons were assigned wrong, went back to orginal TVAP from Toshiba Application Installer ({start}-{my toshiba}-{tai})
All is well now.

Hi mate,
Wow, thats really good work! :)
Im pretty sure that this would be interesting and very useful for other Qosmio X305-708 owner!!!

Did you perform a hard reset yet?
Perform a Hard Reset
A hard reset is similar to restarting a computer that stops responding. A hard reset closes all running BlackBerry applications, restarts the BlackBerry smartphone operating system, and restarts the hardware components of the BlackBerry smartphone, including the wireless transceiver. A hard reset does not delete any settings or data on the BlackBerry smartphone.
To perform a hard reset, complete the following steps:
Turn the BlackBerry smartphone off.
Remove the battery.
Reinsert the battery.
Wait for the BlackBerry smartphone to turn on.

Home button not working if more app or data stored

Hi guys... i bought my ipod touch 3 months back.... now if i store more data or install application in my ipod touch... home button is not working.... even though i always keep 1gb free space...
any solutions...?

Not only will they not transfer your data, it's highly unlikely, even if it was still under warranty, that they would replace it in a country other than that where it was purchased. The warranty is not international.

Nokia 701 menu button not working and other bugs

I have a "brand new" 701 with 111.020.0307 that won't update to 111.030.0609 because I'm in Italy .
Now I have a really annoying bug: the menu key, sometimes, stops working and won't bring up the menu if pressed briefly, and won't bring up the task list either (when pressed long).
Anyone experiencing this bug? The only way I found to make it work again is turn off and on again my phone... And the task list can't be found in menus, AFAIK. I could do that with my old 5800XM...
I bought my phone ONE WEEK ago... I really wouldn't like to format/reinstall already! Ideas?

soft reset may solve it. Look in settings and phone management.
Dont have to do a hard reset first. After soft reset, try reinstall the latest firmware through nokia suite if soft reset didnt solve your problem..
I have 701 and I am impressed overall with the device. Actually... I am very pleased with it.
