Re: Lombard/Pimso Trackpad Issue

[Adam Thayer]

Okay, good to hear... it isn't a major issue at the moment, as I use  
the trackpad fairly sparingly. Although if it does get bad enough, I  
will go ahead and deal with it when I install the 40GB HD into this  
machine.

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.
Hmm, that is interesting, as the button does feel as if there is a  
little give... but occasionally it makes a hard 'click' noise which I  
don't like, and others, just fails to respond.
Sounds to me like it's moving around in there. When I first got my  
Lombard used, the trackpad button had some movement to it, but would  
release during a dragging operation (which led to many misplaced  
files). It was repaired under warranty by Apple. When it came back,  
there was little discernible movement and no "click" but it worked  
perfectly.
A year or so later, I disassembled the computer to fix the back port  
door that had come loose. I reassembling the unit, the bumper on the  
pad slid off. I had to re-strip down the the unit to put it back on.  
Again, it worked fine.
