Trackpad click bar not working correctly after getting a keyboard replacement.

I just got my whole keyboard replaced two days ago due to a sticking "m" problem on my 2008 macbook pro.  They didn't replace my trackpad, but now, it seems that my trackpad clicker will only respond if I apply a lot of pressure to the middle of the upper edge of the bar.  If I click anywhere else on the bar, the bar is completely unresponsive.  It makes clicking and dragging nearly impossible. I once had this problem when I had a bulging battery, but the battery is fine now.  Could something have happened when they replaced the keyboard? It can't be coincidence...  Is there a home remedy?  I know they will want to replace it if I take it in, and my old maching has been off warranty for a while now.

Either a misalignment or a cable is not properly connected.
Since they just "fixed" the keyboard I'd say take it back as they most likely caused this problem.
If you want to do it yourself, iFixit could be particularly useful:

  • My trackpad click is not working correctly

    Hello
    My trackpad click not working very well. the click only work when press in the centre area of the trackpad which make it difficult to click so now I enable tap touch to make click. I got used to touch tap but if you want to drag something it is annoying.
    anyway, is my trackpad is damaged or software problems ?
    how can I fix it ? 
    I don't have Apple insurance Can I bring it to the Apple store ? Can I buy AppleCare now ?
    I got the latest MacBook

    If your MacBook was bought less than 12 months ago it's still under the 1 year warranty. You can only buy the AppleCare warranty extension before the original warranty runs out.

    Keyboard not working correctly after updating to 8.1 64bit pro.
    After I updated, everything seemed ok and then all of the sudden I rebooted and only the f1 – f12 row would work. I resorted to resorted to unplugging and removing the battery and it would work for a short amount of time. This has been reported on other laptops as well, see here.

    I think it can be solved with a driver update from hp or the keyboard builder but none is online.

    Hi,
    Please put the units product no. in the link and check if your PC is tested by HP with Windows 8.1

  • The trackpad/gestures is not working correctly on mountain lion

    Hello,
    After I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my trackpad/gestures is not working correctly.  I cannot swipe with the three fingers, etc. and have to reboot and then it works, but will eventually not work over time.  Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I am having the same problem now.
    Was okay when first installed on date of Mountain Lion release.
    Now I have lost function in Spaces.
    Spaces would only work if I used Dock icon to move between Spaces.
    Now just run everything in one Space.

    My MacBook Pro keyboard not working correctly after Win7 bootcamp installation.
    Installation went well but when I boot either with OSx or Win it always keeps Windows keyboard.
    How can I have Mac keyboard in OS boot and Win keyboard in Win boot?

    Hi - I have the exact same model as your MacBook and had a few questions as mine is acting up. I upgraded the ram to 8gb (2x 4GB ram) and ever since then my computer has not been running as smoothly and the start up time is horrendous. Have you encountered this problem? And if so how did you fix? What would you advise me do?
    I was thinking of reverting back to the original factory 4GB then rebooting the entire computer. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
    My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • In FF29.0 bookmarks on the menu bar stop working correctly after exiting 'Customize': has anyone else noticed this?

    Shortly after installing FF29.0 I noticed that the bookmarks menu from the 'Menu Bar' - NOT the new one that appears on the right of the screen - was not working correctly: specifically, when right-clicking on a bookmark to look for 'Open in a New tab' all the options were greyed out and I now realize that this occurs after exiting the 'Customize' screen, which effect I have consistently duplicated several times now; to restore functionality I have on each occasion had to close and re-open Firefox. This error does not appear to occur with the new bookmark menu that is associated with the bookmark icon at the top right of the screen. Has anyone else noticed this error?
    (Personally, I prefer the bookmark menu from the menu bar, which incidentally I find easier to read than the new one and I like menu bars anyway.)
    Many thanks.

    Thank you for your input. If you have more input on the new features please check out [input.mozilla.org]

  • Installed new trackpad...not working correctly

    Hi,
    I just installed a new trackpad and it is not working correctly.  The tap to click is not working and it takes extra pressure to even move the tracking arrow.  Any ideas?

    I have an Apple Magic Trackpad I purchased November 2013.  Since upgrading to 10.9 (Maverick) my trackpad will just stop.  My current workaround: turn my Magic Mouse back on (I set it aside in favor of the trackpad), and my trackpad comes back to life.  I turn off the mouse, and the trackpad continues ... for now.
    Strange, and I have no other answers for you.

  • My mouse is not working correctly after upgrade to ITunes 11

    I upgraded to iTunes 11 for WinXP and now my mouse is not working correctly. No double clicks, no right button function and sometimes refuses to do simple left click options. What can I do?
    I've tried new mouse drivers and checking the settings in Control Panel but no joy so far.
    Driving me mad and taking me three times longer to do anything as I look for keyboard solutions.

    I'm facing the same problem too on Windows 8. No mouse clicks (just 'ding' sound whenever trying to click anything).
    I could work around it on Windows 8, but ultimately have to restart my PC to get back mouse functionality.
    I wasn't quite sure which app is to blame, but ultimately concluded it's iTunes 11. As this behaviour always concided with having iTunes running in the background for 15-20 minutes (usually listening to podcasts) and never seems to happen when iTunes 11 isn't running.
    Don't know what to make of this, I'm currently playing my podcasts through Windows Media Player instead. I'll hopefully try running iTunes 11 in Windows 7 Compatibiliy mode to see if that helps.

  • HT201365 my text to send messages is now not working correctly after upgrading

    Since upgrading last week my text is not working  correctly it is very slow does not show the letter being used and takes seconds to be put in

    Looking into the Diagnostics and Usage Reports in 'Settings' -> 'General' -> 'About' I see nine different "ExcResource_MobileMail_DATE" reports. Looking at the report I see a SysInfoCrashReport that indicates that the CPU was pegged at over 50% (mostly over 75%) for over 180 seconds using the MobileMail app.
    I also see a "MobileMail_DATE" report that indicates that there was an 'Exception raised during monitored invocation of _loadMoreMessagesWithMaxVisibleIndexPath:maximumIndexPathsBySource:, exception: ** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 4294967295 beyond bounds for empty array"
    And finally I see three "stacks+MobileMail-DATE" reports with "Power assertion timeout for 'com.apple.message.fetchMobileSynchronously...' Simply resetting it now." and "Power assertion timeout for 'com.apple.mobilemail.messagebodyloader' Simply resetting it now" reports.
    I updated to iOS 7.0.4 and decided to try and delete the account in my Mail settings and recreate it and set it to manual instead of the non-working fetch. Now, when I try to check my mail it still takes up to five minutes to respond, pulling the screen to refresh brings up the spinner for about one second and then disappears and no indications of activity occur until about three minutes later when I see the spinner in the status bar near the clock and then see a notification that it's downloading X of Y messages. At that point, message headers come in very quick and then about a minute later message previews come in. At random times, opening the mail app I get a "Password incorrect" error, even though the password works on other attempts.

  • Remote does not work correctly after update

    Hello,
    the subject explain it already:
    After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
    I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
    Any ideas?
    BR
    Frank

    Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

  • Spry tab not working correctly after custom changes

    Best - Khurram

    Sorry to disappoint, the structure of the tabbed panels is
    <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels">
      <ul class="TabbedPanelsTabGroup">
        <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Tab 1</li>
        <li class="TabbedPanelsTab" tabindex="0">Tab 2</li>
      </ul>
      <div class="TabbedPanelsContentGroup">
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">Content 1</div>
        <div class="TabbedPanelsContent">Content 2</div>
      </div>
    </div>
    As soon as you change that structure, this widget (out-of-the-box) will not work.

  • Mail not working correctly after being opened by another App

    So I first noticed this issue when I went to send some photos from Aperture, once I had hit send in the new message window the main screen of Mail appeared to be fine but I was unable to click on anything other than the menu bar, not only that, the message I had successfully sent was nowhere to be found in my sent box. It might be worth noting that I had first tried this after upgrading my MacBook with Crucial RAM and a Seagate Momentus XT HD. But since this I have tried everything:
    First, I repaired disk permissions and checked all the preferences.
    Second, seeing as I had previously recovered my old HD to my new one via Time Machine, and due to other issues, I though there might have been a corruption in the backup so I took the time to Clean install (where Lion was re-downloaded too), setup as new, and even create a new Aperture library.
    Finally, I have reset the PRAM and attempted an Apple Hardware Test, which led me to another concern as on 3 occasions when starting up and holding down D it had a think about it but went to OS X and did not connect to the Apple servers for the AHT (as I have a Lion pre-installed Mac this should work?)
    I have since checked out other things and have found that this issue also happens when sharing a contact from the Address Book but NOT when sharing a document from iWork. I have also noticed that Mail is still controllable from the keyboard when locked out from the mouse.
    This isn't all I use my Mac for and isn't massively important but I'll be damned if I don't find out why only my Mac does this!
    Please can anyone shed some more light onto what is causing this?
    And why can't I perform a hardware test?

  • Responsive nav bar not working correctly

    Hi All,
    The responsive nab bar on the site below is working correctly. When it changes from horizontal buttons to vertical, the sub menu buttons do not display correctly and i cannot work out how to correct it, they should display underneath the menu button when clicked on but they don't?
    Appreciate any help please.
    http://www.clockdoctors.co.uk/index.html

    The below css is all you should need for your media queries. I would think about using some jQuery onClick to show those sub menus as it's way to jumpy.
    #nav {
    width: 100%;
    #nav li {
    float: none;
    font-size: 16px;
    text-align: center;
    width: 100%;
    #nav li a {
    display: block;
    padding: 8px 0;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
    #nav li a:hover{
    color: #fff;
    #nav li ul  {
    position: static;
    #nav li ul li a {
    padding: 8px 0;
    #nav li a {
    font-size:14px;
    margin: 0;
