I recently got a used Lombard, and although everything seems in great shape, I am noticing some odd behavior with the trackpad button.
It occasionally gets stiff in certain areas, as if something is stuck under the button. Sometimes it is there, sometimes it isn't, and it isn't in the same place... and rarely the button doesn't even want to move, but is stuck in the 'pressed' position. If it gets stiff, pressing and using some canned air around the button gets to behave nicely again.
Am I right in thinking something got stuck under there? Anyone else have this problem, and find a way to fix it?
The Lombard has a rubber bumper on the trackpad button that makes it feel quite stiff--there is no audible or tactile click with this model. If the bumper is dislodged it makes dragging difficult and makes clicking a hit or miss affair. Fixing involves about a half dismantling to get it reset. It sounds like yours has been knocked loose, possibly in an earlier repair.
