TP 365C/CS/CD/CSD - Trackpoint III Checkout

Applicable to: World-Wide

TrackPoint III Checkout

The TrackPoint automatically compensates to adjust the pointer sensor. During this process, the pointer moves on the screen automatically for a short time. This self-acting pointer movement can occur when a slight, steady pressure is applied to the TrackPoint pointer while the computer is powered on or while the system is running, or re-adjustment is required because the temperature has exceeded its normal temperature range. This symptom does not indicate a hardware problem. No service actions are necessary if the pointer movement stops in a short period of time.

If either the pointing stick or the click button will not work, do the following actions one at a time to correct the problem. Do not replace a non-defective FRU.

Reseat the three keyboard cables.
Replace the keyboard.
Replace the keyboard card.
Replace the system board.
