[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1423570, member: 56379"] Regarding the trackpad issue. The broken bracket shouldn't have anything to do with the function of the trackpad. If the trackpad is erratic...and all OS software is up to date then you could try: - Booting from an OS DVD or OS USB stick to see of the trackpad issues persist. If they do...then it's a hardware issue. If they don't...then it's a software issue on the internal HD. - If it's a software issue...you may have some sort of 3rd party software installed on your HD (especially for other input devices)...that may be "confusing" the trackpad. - If it's a hardware issue...you may need to replace the trackpad (it is a separate part). HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
