X230t touch pad not registering clicks after spill

Hello. I accidently spilled non-acetone nail polish remover on my keyboard a day ago. I immediately turned off the laptop and wiped everything down with a paper towel. The keyboard and track point seem to be working fine, but the touch pad is having problems. It still registers when I move my finger around on it and even is able to scroll down web pages, but it will not register clicks when I click down on the touch pad or even when I tap it with my finger. Will I have to replace the whole palm rest area or should I just wait for it to dry some more? Thank you.

Hi,
This could be driver issue.
Please try to download the latest driver for your touch pad, and install it in Windows 8.1 compatibility mode to check the results.
Otherwise, contact the manufacture to feedback the issue and wait for the updated package for Windows 8.1.

Touch pad not working with HP G60 operating on Windows 7

I have a HP G60 operating on Windows 7 (not sure bit) and have problems with touch pad not working.
I was using touch pad and wireless mouse interchangeably for past year.
No recent changes made to system. Suddenly not work one evening. Have tried shutting down and left overnight which has not resolve problems. On one occasion, i was not even able to type and that resolved after re-starting computer.
There is a button between space bar and top of touch pad which is white. Even when i press and turn red, it has not changed situation. Therefore I have to use my wireless mouse to operate for the moment.
Would appreciate any advice about what is the problem and ways to resolve it.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
The numbers are fine
Try the following.
First, ensure the Touchpad is switched on ( the light between the Touchpad and the Spacebar should be white ), then download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp44501-45000/sp44940.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook, remove any external devices connected to the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
When windows has fully reloaded - it will automatically load a generic driver for the Touchpad, but just let it do this. Then open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook.

HP Pavilion Volume Touch-Pad NOT WORKING | NO SOUND HELP

HP Pavilion Volume Touch-Pad NOT WORKING
I have an HP Pavilion dv3t - 2000, Windows Vista computer.
SOMEONE DID ALREADY HELP ME HERE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY STOPPED RESPONDING | Please check that link out!
The volume touchpad above the keyboard is not working properly (There is no sound coming out of the speakers or the headphone jack) , If you touch the megaphone part of the touchpad above the keyboard then it stays red, however the sound icon on the taskbar changes from mute to unmuted when you touch the red megaphone. The volume slider on the touchpad works suprisingly.
I don't know if I uninstalled something or what but I need this problem fixed!
Thanks!

Hi,
Shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and remove the battery.
Follow the procedure detailed on Page 63 of your Maintenance & Service Guide to remove the RTC battery. Hold down the power button for 30 seconds.
Leave the notebook for 10 minutes and then re-insert the RTC battery, re-assemble and replace the cover, insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook. Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
If you still have no audio and the installer you downloaded previously still doesn't detect the Hardware, it would start to look like a Hardware failure, but to try and rule out any further software cause, try the following.
Follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run. The 'Try it' option runs the OS from the CD without the need to install on your HDD. If this runs Ok ( it will be slow running from a CD ) and you still have no audio output, this would tend to confirm a Hardware issue.

All button and touch pad not working except power button

I face the problems that all button and touch pad not working after power on or wake up from sleep state except power button. And i have make the system sleep and wake again so that the mac book air can working as normal( mouse can move and button got response).

Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds); (if the computer doesn't power on, move to the next step)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.
