Hi everyone!
I got my framework 2022 and noticed about 6 months ago that my touchpad is not very responsive for clicking. Moving the mouse works perfect, but clicking only responds sometimes. I have opened up the laptop and couldn’t find any obvious faults.
Does anyone have any suggestions for debugging this issue?
My specs:
Something like a mouse tester can reveal a potentially dying click button
In the past (with a previous FW13 trackpad), I had to tighten some screws to fix the sensitivity of the touchpad. With a new trackpad, I’m having the same problem (confirmed with the mouse tester linked above), where left clicks aren’t being registered. I can literally hear the click but it registers maybe one out of ten tries.
Anyone else having consistent issues with the touchpad? Any potential fixes? This is the second input cover I’ve tried, both exhibiting the same issue.
Edit: I just tightened the screws on the touchpad and it seems to have helped. @steinmig that might be worth trying. My screws were a little loose. I gave each a half to full turn. Then I went into the mouse tester in my OS (Bluefin Linux). I had to click a few dozen times but then it started working consistently for me.
There’s a thread around here someplace where several of us disassembled the touchpad and slightly repositioned the metal dome sticker that functions as the button’s contacts and found it fixed this issue.
