Trackpad Still not working right after replacement

I've recently been having issues with my trackpad on my Macbook Pro, i took it to the apple store last week and they replaced it due to it not registering physical clicks what so ever. However, although a new trackpad was issued/replaced and the problem is slightly better, the trackpad is still not working/registering physical clicks in several areas, anyone got any tips? I also can't really afford to go back to the store again at the moment, however i do have Apple Care which may open more windows for me?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You might try a SMC reset:

If no joy, call Apple on the phone and tell them the situation. They will try to troubleshoot it over the phone and should be able to advise you as to what to do.
Good luck!

    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. 

  • Scroll-bar STILL not working right in 10.6.1 update

    The scroll-bar is STILL NOT working right in the 10.6.1 update.  I am not able to click anywhere on the scroll-bar and have the navigation go there.  I have to drag the blamed thing where ever I want it to go.  This problem only exist with the recent iTunes 10.6.x updates. 

    I have the new MacBook Pro 2010, Dell 3007WFP. No mirroring problemsat that or higher res. I was chagrined, however, to find out that while my 2007 15" MacBook Pro had no problems driving the Dell 30", the 2010 17" requires the Dual Link cable for $100 extra. ;>(

  • Trackpad Not Working Even After Replacement

    About 3 months ago, I spilled water all over my T510.  Everything worked afterwards, except for the trackpad and fingerprint reader.  The trackpad was not even seen in BIOS.  The fingerprint reader lit up, and I could turn on the laptop by sliding my finger over it, but it would not log me in, and was not detected in the OS.  I removed the pamlrest, and the wires going to the motherboard had been corroded when I spilled the water.
    Yesterday, I got my replacement palmrest, with trackpad and FPR included.  I replaced the old one with the new one, and I checked in the bios.  The trackpad was shown, along with the TrackPoint.  Both were set to "Automatic".  When I booted into Debian, neither the trackpad nor the trackpoint worked.  I tried Windows, and it was the same. Here is what I've tried:
    Palmrest Disconnected:
    Trackpoint: works
    Trackpad: does not work (duh)
    Palmrest Connected, Trackpad Disabled in BIOS, Trackpoint Enabled:
    Trackpoint: Works
    Trackpad: does not work (duh again)
    Palmrest Connected, Trackpad Enabled in BIOS, Trackpoint Disabled:
    Trackpoint: Does not work
    Trackpad: Does not work
    Palmrest Connected, Trackpoint and Trackpad Enabled in BIOS:
    Trackpoint: Does not work
    Trackpad: Does not work
    Palmrest Connected, Trackpoint and Trackpad Disabled in BIOS (I don't know why I included this):
    Trackpoint: Does not work
    Trackpad: Does not work
    Does anybody know what is wrong?  I really hope it isn't my motherboard.

    It is hard to diagnose from 3000 miles away, but my guess is that if the cable got wet, so did the connector on the motherboard and/or the traces to it. If it was just water and only a drop got on the motherboard, it is possible that there is a small short at the connector (either on the outside or the inside) If that is the case, maybe cleaning it with electronics cleaner (best) or denatured alcohol will help.

  • Calendar reminders (notifications) still NOT working, even after 602 update.....

    So, Verizon Wireless released the 602 update to the Gingerbread OS for the Droid X, and the calendar reminder popups (notifications) are still NOT working properly. 
    This is VERY frustrating, as I use these notifications (reminder pop ups) for everything from business related (meetings, etc) to personal (when to take medicines, etc).
    It's also VERY frustrating because BEFORE Gingerbread, when the Droid X ran Froyo, there was NOT a problem with the calendar and its reminders.
    I would assume that there are MANY, MANY people being affected by this issue...and I wonder why Verizon hasn't "put the heat" on Google to FIX this issue which is clearly related to the Android OS, more specifically, Gingerbread.
    I used to like the Droid X very much, but now I'm counting the days until I can get an iPhone.  At least you know what you're getting, and won't have an update "break" functions of the phone.
    So, Verizon, if you're listening... PLEASE get this calendar notification problem FIXED.
    Thank you!!

    I'm the original poster of this topic.  And let me tell you the steps that I went through to try to get this resolved, and then I'll let you know the ultimate solution that I wound up doing and am happy about (but am NOT happy about Verizon & Motorola).
    1) updated DroidX to latest 602 update.
    2) went into admin partition and deleted cache
    still did not work
    3) went into admin partition and did hard reset (complete restore) from inside the admin partition
    Still did not get calendar reminders to work.
    4) went into normal phone and accessed "Restore Phone to Factory Specs" from the Privacy menu in settings.  This caused the phone to do a similar hard reset as in step 3, except it also ran the beginning software (welcome to your Droid, we now have to activate your phone, etc).
    Calendar reminders did not work. (REMEMBER... when I say they did not work, I mean that the reminders would go off EVENTUALLY , but anywhere from 30mins AFTER the appointment to literally HOURS AFTER the appointment).
    5) Created a COMPLETELY NEW AND DIFFERENT calendar at Google under a DIFFERENT screen name/account.  Configured DroidX to completely forget the original calendar and to start using the NEW one.
    Reminders still did NOT work properly.
    6) Once again, tried hard resets.
    NOPE.  Still did NOT work.
    7) CALLED Verizon Wireless and described my problem and they pretty much didn't/couldn't help and said they would "send a report to the engineering team" about the problem.
    And HERE is the thing that REALLY BURNED ME UP about this WHOLE ENTIRE DEBACLE.....  my DroidX worked 100% correctly BEFORE the Gingerbread upgrade to the Android OS.  When it was running Froyo (previous OS), every single calendar reminder on my original calendar worked every single time, on time, every time.  BUT... AFTER Gingerbread, it just didn't work.  (Don't get me started with the phantom powering on of the phone after it was powered off problem that STILL exists after the 602 upgrade).
    SO.......... what did I eventually do???   Well, by this time, I was eligible for early upgrade at upgrading pricing and switched to the iPhone4 (I didn't want the 4S).  AND YOU KNOW WHAT???  Using the ORIGINAL GOOGLE calendar that I used before all the above stuff happened, my reminders on the iPhone4 work all the time, every time.  These include appointments that I made 8 months ago to new ones that I make every day.  And for all of them, the iPhone4 sets the reminder chime off EXACTLY when I want it to.
    Now, I realize that this doesn't address the problem for you, Ganamide (who wrote above), but for me, I finally got to the point where I had missed critical appointments with clients and couldn't wait around for the DroidX Calendar Reminder Problem to be resolved.
    So Verizon Wireless and Motorola (maker of DroidX) and Google (maker of Android OS) all have "negative points" in my book for allowing such a problem to continue without proper resolution.   Apple, on the other hand, gets "positive points" in my book for making a product that is rock solid and works well.

  • Safari 5.1.2 Not working right after install

    Hi, after installing the update for Snow Leopard safari is not working right. Some pages don't load, and other don't load correctly.
    I have to keep hitting refresh two or three times. Also thunbnails are not displaying. Even the apple page comes up looking buggy.
    Please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, monitor, and Ethernet, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in as yourself. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
    In safe mode, test again. Same problem(s) now?
    After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

  • Ipod 5 flash not working right after the update

    Hi first off: my flash was perfect before the update so I think its not hardware?
    - after the update yesterday today my friend and I tried to take a selfie in a dark place so we wanted to use the back camera and turned the flash as ON for our surprise it didnt work.
    - we tried then to take something else's pic and the flash worked
    - we tried the selfie again this time using the camera buttom not the volume's but didnt work.
    - we used hipstamatic and VSCOCam then and it worked perfectly
    - I tried turning on and off the device and did not work.
    - I did a full restore through Itunes and didnt work.
    anybody else having this problem?
    any suggestion to fix it?

    I contacted apple and they claimed it to be an obvious software bug, they said I had to take it to an assistence to get a new one intantly but as theres no assistence in my town and I cant go to nearby one I will have to just replace the stock app for a better one... once more I'm disapointed with apple.

  • Photoshop Elements not working right after not using for several months?

    Have Photoelements #10 on this computer. Have been away, using #10 on another computer, now back and PhotoElements #10 is NOT working properly?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Plugin Check page not working right; after updating, plugin still shows "update"

    I noticed after running "find updates" that the Acrobat Reader
    plugin needed to updated, so I installed the 9.4.1 update, (from
    9.4.0). Afterwords, I rebooted the machine. I launched firefox and
    tried to verify all plugins were "update to date" but the same acrobat
    reader plugin is still showing as "update" (i.e., firefox thinks it's out
    of date).
    about:plugins shows the installed version as 9.4.1.222
    Moreover, multiple machines show this issue, not just one.

    There's a couple of things to try, since this is an old system.
    1 -- disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player, if enabled.
    a)  Go to this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l
    b)  Right click the Global Privacy Settings panel  "box".
    c)  Scroll down the drop down list and left-click on "Settings."
    d)  If you see a check in the small box next to "...hardware acceleration," click on it to remove it.
    e)  Save your setting change, close out your browser, open it again, and try watching a video to see if it stutters.
    2 -- disable hardware acceleration in Firefox, if enabled.  (This may or may not impact your ability to watch Flash videos, but it has caused a number of issues with older systems.
    a)  Click on your Firefox TOOLS menu
    b)  Click on OPTIONS
    c)  When the small screen pops up, click on the ADVANCED tab
    d)  If there's a check in the box next to "use hardware acceleration when available," click on it to remove the check
    e)  Click the OK button.  Close out Firefox, and reopen it.

  • Right arrow & ALT key not working right after clean install of XP Pro

    My 3000 N100 stopped booting so I had to reinstall. Had a full license for XP Pro that I wasn't using yet, so decided to do a clean install.
    Am still working on getting various things working (e.g., audio), but at the moment the biggest irritations are the following:
    1) My right arrow is disabled completely.
    2) The ALT+TAB combo doesn't work properly. When I do it in Firefox, for example, it does some sort of scrolling down-screen.
    Anyway, to isolate the problem, I tried plugging in a USB keyboard. With that keyboard, everything appeared to work fine.
    Now, before you tell me that it's just something under the keyboard (which was replaced shortly before the crash, so I doubt that's the problem) keep in mind that the ALT+TAB *does* do something (and not the simply TAB alone), which leads me to suspect the problem lies in how the ALT key and the right arrow key are mapped.
    Any ideas?
    Could this be related to a driver that I still need to install? (My device mgr still has a bunch of things with question marks.)
    Thank in advance.

    Did you look in the list of campatibility problems windows 8 generated to see if the touchscreen is included.
    You did not say whether it came with win 8 and it whether it worked before.
    I have a b320 and the touch is not compatible with win 8 and it works for general stuff but won't bring the charm list in from the side nor work in the left corners, nor some of the swipe features.
    No drivers for the b320 yet.  Windows set it up with something that kind of functions.
    It did come with Windows 8 installed. It also came with CD containing Win8 Driver Pack v1.0. I installed all of the drivers from this CD.
    Where would I find this list of compatibility problems that you refer to?

  • PLEASE HELP -T61p- CCFL lamp not working even after replacement

    Hello Everyone,
    This is my first post so please bear with me.
    Skip the first three paragraphs if you don't have time.
    I bought a T61p in jan-2008. I have sent this thinkpad to service centers for repair a couple of times, once for replacing the motherboard( the bios updater screwedup) and the other time for a broken LCD hinge. The service was excellent (they even sent me spare parts a couple of times like keyboard, touchpad etc).
    A few months ago  i spilled some beer on the keyboard, so immediately switched it off, opened the laptop and carefully cleaned everything. Switched it on, TADA it works as good as before.
    A couple of months back i realized my warranty is about to expire so i though i would send the system for a final checkup. Now the guys at the service center tell me that there is a spill and to repair it i need accidental coverage which i don't have and cannot buy after the "accident". To repair it they asked for an advance of $800 - the laptop costs around 1400, it seemed to me that the cost of repair was too high. So they send me back my machine.
    Now when i switch on my machine, i can see that the screen is active (if i look it at an angle i can see even different colors) but it is almost pitch black. I did some research, bought an inverter and lcd connection cords from lenovo and replaced the old one, no difference. Thought it must be the CCFL lamp, so bought a new lcd screen and replaced the existing one, still no difference. Frustrated, i removed the whole lcd from the hinge and connected my machine to an external monitor, this works perfectly.
     My Question: Where is the problem, i replaced lcd, inverter, the connector cords. If there is problem with the graphics card the external monitor shouldn't work(i can even play games on it). Is there anything that can be done (a laptop is better than a converted desktop). Please share your expert thoughts, opinions and comments.
    Thanks,
    Elliot

  • Macbook Pro not working right after getting it back from Apple Store

    I had to bring my last generation Macbook Pro into the Apple store to have a faulty optic drive and logic board replaced. I just got home and the date in the preferences was set to 2001 and it will not connect to my network, even though I am typing this on another Mac using the same connection. It does see it, it just shows a message with an exclamation mark in the Airport area saying no internet connection.
    Any ideas of what I may need to do? Are both of these a sign that they may have messed something up? I did reboot it after getting it back.
    Thanks.

    Just bring it back. Have them check it out and demonstrate that it's working properly.
