X1 Carbon Touchpad Left Click Stuck
X1 Carbon Touchpad Left Click Stuck
Title says it all. I am having an issue where the left hand side portion of the touchpad will not initiate a click. It is quite annoying. It doesn't appear to be stuck or anything. Anyone have any similar issues/know how to fix?

Re: X1 Carbon Touchpad Left Click Stuck
Last time I had problems on the X1C3, I just changed the click area to something larger.
I believe it was using Windows 10.

Just an update.. I popped the bottom off the machine and put it back on and for whatever reason that solved the issue. Really not sure why as I didn't do anything besides take the bottom panel off and then immediately put it back on. Strange.

Re: X1 Carbon Touchpad Left Click Stuck
Hmmm... maybe there was debris or an slight imperfection in the palmrest, touchpad or left click to where it would get stuck.
I presume you removing it must of flexed it ever so slightly to loosen it up.

Yea, It was the strangest thing. I didn't even mess with the actual placement of the touchpad. It must have been off ever so slightly.Saucey wrote:Hmmm... maybe there was debris or an slight imperfection in the palmrest, touchpad or left click to where it would get stuck.
