Hi all,
Wondering if anyone can help me rehab a Lenovo Y50 70 trackpad, which has a very unreliable button press. I believe the trackpad looks like this on the underside:
But there is also and additional metal bar running underneath the buttons with two small recesses in it, into which the corners of the trackpad depress when the user clicks the buttons. Each depression has what may be a magnet in the bottom (a small bit of metal of another colour, with a threaded hole in the middle).
So here's the question: Does the button press work using the little clicky rocker at the centre of the trackpad itself, or does that simply provide a clicking sensation, and the button press actually register by the corners going near the magnets underneath them (if that's what they are)?
Thanks in advance.
