Apple :: Shiny Keyboard
Apr 7, 2010Im bringing this up again because I have a really bad case of it, now that I have had my unibody MBP for over a year.
I have tried rubbing alcohol, soap, eyeglass wipes, hydrochloric acid from my lab, but nothing worked.
I was just wondering if anyone has found something that works?
Apple :: MBP Alum - Boot Camp Won't Run
Mar 10, 2009I'm having an issue with Boot Camp. I have a stock base model MBP Alum. Vista was running fine on Boot Camp since I got the machine back in January, but today it crashed. When I tried to reboot into Vista I got two '_' cursor flashes on the top left of the screen then the screen just goes dark. Multiple reboots yielded the same result. Seeing I had my files backed up, I just deleted the Vista partition and tried to perform a reinstall of Vista. However, after I click 'Start Installation' in Boot Camp and the comp restarts - I get the two cursor flashes followed by the black screen again.

Jun 2, 2009Apple has new venders making thier screens on the Macbook 13" Alum. Supposebly, these new screens are so supposed to be better than the old one.

Sep 2, 2009I have seen some Macbook's in the past which had huge touchpads

If anyone has a 17" Macbook, can you tell me the dimensions of the touchpad
I am considering making an interfacing board to connect it to a USB/PS2 port for my homemade laptop.
Apple :: MBP - Uneven Touchpad
Aug 8, 2009The glass touchpad on my new MBP is a bit uneven. The surface itself is flat, but the left side sits a bit lower than the right side, as if the whole touchpad is tilted to the left. The right side is flush with the surrounding aluminum, but the left side is maybe .5mm lower. Is this normal?

Mar 25, 2010This is not an "us vs. them" thread, so please, let's not do that. I'm simply curious as to whether there are any other laptops -- save for HP's Envy line, of course -- which have a large trackpad like the MBPs.
Was just thinking of how it's an arguably good idea which just isn't used as often as you'd think. IMO, of course.

Sony :: SZ Touchpad
Oct 1, 2009One solution mentioned on NBR was the improved insulation - but there may be another one.
Or maybe the "mad mouse" is static and the inverted mouse is something else.
My laptop was gettig very bad with the inverted mouse - and it didn't seem to be static related.
I just did some googling - [url] this seemed promising (the detailed driver analysis for XP) - unistalling of the touchpad driver to be specfic
I ujst did it and my mouse is no longer inverted - of course I loose some functionaltiy too (scrolling etc.)
But tapping works, and clicking too and moving the mouse.
I hope I'll remember to drop back in at a later date to tell you how it works out - it the mouse no longer inverts without the Alps driver.
My SZ is a SZ71VN/X
No, the inverted mouse is back
its possible that Vaio Alps touchpad drivers are outdated.
Sony :: SR Touchpad
Jan 31, 2009The left button of my touchpad does not work anymore! If someone has encountered a problem like this and has come up with a solution it has stopped working permanently!
Forgot to mention that the laptop I have is a VAIO SR and that I have tried a few things already to see if it would solve the problem, but no luck. Uninstalled and reinstalled the driver, switched from right-handed to left-handed, uninstall and let windows choose the driver, etc...

Oct 10, 2008There is another, even newer driver available from the E4300/E4200. Thanks to Logan_Nolag for posting that. It is even more responsive than the Studio driver.

The touchpad is now up there with the Synaptics from my old XPS m140.

I tried it on my E6400, and it updated to the newer drivers without issue. I am definitely noticing a diffference in the touchpad.

Sep 7, 2009I recently ordered a SXPS 16 and have a potentially silly question about the touchpad.
For when I want to play a game and need to use a USB mouse is there a way to disable the touchpad like I can with my current ASUS G2S laptop?
Nothing is more annoying when trying to play a game and having inadvertant mouse clicks and movement because I can't or forgot to disable the touchpad while using a mouse.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAcer :: Touchpad Sensitivity
Jan 4, 2008My Acer 5520 came with the touchpad set so sensitive that by just by passing over icons I am opening windows that I dont want to. My sisters older Acer also has an "Alps" touchpad with Alps driver and under the tapping tab in the mouse window she has a "touch sensitivity" button that adjusts from light----to-----heavy touch and thats all I need.
After checking various computer stores that carry Acer and other brands it seems that some have this feature and some dont. Annoyingly also is the fact that no-one in the sales dept in these stores knows what I'm talking about and when I show them they say it's the first time they've encountered it. Surely if I'm spending over $1000. for a new notebook I should be able to control this. I have tried updating the driver from the Acer websight. Both the Synaptics and Alps drivers they offer don't have this control either. Some Acers however have it and they are not necessarily the upscale or newest models. So what gives?
