The touchpad button loose on new T61p

Hi, I just got my ThinkPad T61p, and touch out of the box, the left click button is loose. When I press the left side of the button, the right side comes off and rises. Now only the left side of the button is attached as the right clip broke off. I wonder if its possible to fix myself or whether it would be better/easier to simply call Lenovo? Thanks for any help!

I suggest you call Lenovo. If it is loose, it could be an indication that the laptop has suffered some damage.

Be safe. Check it out.

    Original title: left click not working not not on HP laptop

    On my HP Elitebook 2760p running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, left click on the touchpad button has stopped working.  The right click works, the works of pad, (scrolling and click on) it's just the left click.  It started after the execution of the new update of adobe.

    Thank you.

    Lööw salvation,

    I'm sure that it of possible to replace the touchpad buttons because you can replace everything on a laptop. But I think that it s a little trickier because you must remove a lot of pieces and that's not easy.

    You should ask an authorized service provider guys can order the new spare part for you and exchange it. Just write an email, for example, to get in touch with them.

    You can find a list of aspic here:

  • Satellite L450D-11V - the touchpad button broken

    Hi, I have a Satellite L450D-11V which is only about 3 months, but left under the touchpad button has just broken. It has lost its spring and sank down in the case, so it is now off. Still, it works but not very well and clearly needs repair.

    My question is is it useful to open the case to see if something has slipped? The manual does not cover this, but it seems that it can be opened by removing the screws from the case under. My only concern is that I don't want to move something then not be able to re - assemble! A House would be obviously preferable to ship from Toshiba and be without it for a week.

    Has anyone else had a problem with the touchpad buttons break after a short period of time?

    This is typical warranty issue and even thinking laptop open on your own.
    At first you do not have manuals maintenance with an exact description of how to do this and this action may void the warranty.

    Contact service, explain the situation and ask how long they need for repair.

  • The touchpad buttons collide on Satellite A210 - 10 c

    Hello sweet people.

    I just bought a Satellite A210-10 c - that generally surprised me pleasantly because of good performance, sound and others. BUT: The buttons on the touchpad seem to rest loosely on their spring/clip - what would be the right term for this. This makes the right button gently collide when you type (without being too rough with the buttons ;-)).

    It seems, however, that the question (I HATE such noises) may disappear after some time of use, leaving just a general trend of the touchpad area vibrate very slightly when dealt too harshly.

    It's just the way things are a budget like this book? Similar experiences and a prognosis on how things will evolve?

    Well, this is perhaps a silly question, but I still HATE rattle ;-)

    Thank you

    Hello

    seems to be a problem related to the design. So if it s just disturbing and not interrupt with your work computer, you must accept it. I hate the fans on my laptop too, they are sometimes too strong for my review.
    But the problem is, everyone has it s own subjective sense of things, and it doesn't have to be a defect of the thing we use.

    Maybe you can do the following to give your mind some peace: go to the store where purchased you´ve and try another model. Tell the salesperson you want to check something, then maybe something could be wrong with your machine. If another machine has the same "rattle" then personally 'lost' you´ve and you have the possibility to buy a keyboard and external mouse (or at least an external mouse) or get the machine and buy another model that does not "rattle". If no "rattle" appears on another machine, then you have the guarantee that you can use! :)

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE - the touchpad buttons do the same action

    I have a problem with my left button touchpad keys. Although the affected software the left click function, he always does the same action as the right button.
    Drivers and installation of Windows are new. Is this a hardware or a software problem?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    > Is that the hardware or a software problem
    It's not easy to say, but have you checked the touchpad features using the OS preinstalled Toshiba?

    Usually, the touchpad should work without problems using the original image of Toshiba.

    May I ask what model of laptop and what OS do you have?

  • Pavilion DV7 the touchpad buttons not responding

    My new dv7 (select edition, windows 7-64 b) knows a few difficulties, right click. When I connect the USB mouse with buttons right and left I can right click but areas to the left and make touchpad a right-click differ at all. When I type in the box to right click, he left snaps; When I type in the box to left click, it left clicks. When I tap anywhere on the pad, he left clicks. I installed the latest synaptic drivers, the device properties window tells me that I am using synaptic clickpad V7.4. The tab buttons has a right click button Setup do secondary clicks and all the listening and the buttons are enabled, but still no right click. Looking at some pages of support on the hp website (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00678194), I noticed that the screenshot they show from the menu 'tapping' seems different from what I have on my computer. Namely, that i miss the section "tap zones".

  • HP Envy 17 t: How can I disable the Touchpad on my laptop new HP Envy with Windows 7 Pro?

    I just got my new PC and have problems with the touchpad.  My old PC has allowed me to disable the touchpad by double-clicking it in the upper left corner.  The news is not that.  I tried to find a setting in Control Panel - devices and printers - mouse, but there isn't a way to disable.  Help!

    Hello

    You see Synaptics tab? In the affirmative, please use this tab to disable the touchpad, if no, you must use the tab settings of the HP control area (for the newer machines). And in both cases, check the box "turn off internal...." 'and 'Apply'.

    Kind regards.

  • N5050 laptop: the touchpad buttons not working do not.

    Hey, my laptop N5050 that is now JUST out of warranty started developing problems with the touchpad, a few days ago, mainly by pressing the left button once would be double-click involuntarily. Now the two buttons have stopped working altogether.

    Advice would be excellent to remedy the situation. As a result of this problem, I was forced to buy an external mouse, but wish to have my touchpad in working condition. I have experience in building the pc, but never a laptop. If the resolution is should a technique I try a manual correction or another solution?

    Thank you.

    I just corrected it and recorded here to answer you.

    I had exactly the same problem. I finally got sick of it and open the laptop to see what was going on. Looks like there is a lack of design with the n5050 and some other models that can cause the ribbon cable for the buttons on the touchpad to wave in the open air. All you need to do is to remove the touchpad/palmrest unplug the flat cable on the bottom of things to click buttons (probably disconnected and salty as mine was), blow gently to get the dust out and plug it in again. Here's a video tutorial that will take you through how to proceed step by step. http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=YLIAZFLVrqs It actually shows how to replace, but if you just do what I did, take it apart and clean/re-seat connectors, you should be fine.

    The connector I'm talking about is those small tiny ranging from the bottom of the click buttons to the bottom of the touchpad is. It can be seen in the video at the top of the video coming out the metal brackets under the click buttons at 2:37 and the connector is located on the lower part of the clickpad. Ity bitty is and all of the Ribbon cables are fragile so please be careful and do all this at your own risk.

    Let me know if you have any questions on what it is and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.
