Re: iBook G4 track pad problems

[Daniel Forsdyke]

Hi Steven

I had problems with the trackpad on by iBook G4.
The problem sounds similar to yours, but i also had times when the  
cursor would jump across the screen as I tried to use the trackpad.
My solution was to get the trackpad replaced under the Apple Care  
extended warranty.


That probably does not help your situation though.
Good luck.

Regards
Daniel F.

the cursor just stays in one spot.


Using a mouse gets round the problem, but it's not always practical  
to use a mouse.


Does the track pad just wear out after a while? Any suggested fixes?

Cheers, Steven
