Question

lenovo e531 trackpad

May 19, 2017 12:43PM PDT

The trackpad will intermittently only move scroll bars and will not allow the cursor to move or the trackpad buttons to work.

Anyone have any idea?

Have you tried a new pad?

Most will just use a mouse rather than repair.

This is for a client. I haven't tried to repair anything. If it were me I'd just use an external mouse but he always used the trackpad. I looked at the settings and everything looks fine? I was thinking it could be dirty or something wrong with the actual trackpad.
