I've had a 190cs for about six months now. The person I bought it from stated that he had fixed a power connector problem, which I gather is a common problem with this model.
I've had a continuing problem with the trackpad/button, and in searching the archives haven't come across a solution, so apologies if this has been addressed before. I think what's happening is the button gets stuck, but it may be the pad itself. When I start up, about 80% of the time I have a pointer problem. I can't move it where I want, it snaps back and is v. difficult to deal with. Generally, since I mostly use it for Word, once I get the app running, I'm ok, since I don't need the pointer for that. Moving the pointer to a desired point is nearly impossible, but with time on my hands, I can manage it. Sometimes, if I click the button a bunch, it works a bit better, as though it's getting warmed up or something. What I'd like to know is if folks think this is fixable, or something I should just deal with? As I use this laptop solely for wp purposes, it's not impossible. But if I can fix it, I would like to. Again, apologies if this is a v. known problem. I looked at the archives, and folks reported issues with the 5300 pad, but I'm not sure if my problem is the same.
