TrackPoint II Checkout

•  If the TrackPoint II  does not work, check the configuration.  If the configuration of the TrackPoint II is set to Disabled or Off, change it to Enable or On.

   If the problem remains, continue.

  NOTE: TrackPoint II automatically compensates to adjust  the pointer sensor. This causes the pointer to move slightly on  the screen and then stop. Pointer  movement might occur when  a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint II pointer when  the computer is powered-on or running, or  when exceeded temperature range requires re-adjustment.

•  If the cursor floats or moves erratically, power-off and disconnect the  mouse. Power-on the computer. If the  problem goes away, replace the mouse. If the problem remains, replace the  keyboard.
•  For click button or pointing stick problems:
  1.  Go to the Easy-Setup screen.
  2.  Select an item with the pointing stick.
  3.  Press either left or right click button.
  4.  Verify that both buttons work correctly.

   If the pointing stick or the click button does not work,  do the following.

  1.  Reseat the keyboard cables.
  2.  Replace the keyboard.
  3.  Replace the interposer card (355x, 360x, 750x, 755x).
  4.  Replace keyboard control card (720).
  5.  Replace the system board.
