Need new "bottom" mouse btns for T60p, where/what to get?

#1 Post by hydrostarr » Wed Aug 25, 2010 2:37 pm

I have a T60p whose "bottom left" mouse button no longer clicks. If I were to replace said button(s), does this involve a full keyboard replacement or just the mouse buttons...or something else? (ie, are the parts separate or all together...?)

And how would I identify the parts to buy, best places to shop/acquire, etc?

Buy individual key(s) here: http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-Lenovo-T60-T61- ... 0354133500
if you are talking about the keys immediately under the spacebar.

If the buttons on the palmrest, get new touchpad/buttons here: http://cgi.ebay.com/IBM-Lenovo-Thinkpad ... 0519063401

Have you tried to see if it's just dust that has built up beneath the button? When the palmrest has been removed, the touchpad/button assembly can be removed by removing a couple of screws. You'll find that both buttons are removable by pulling either of the long "pins" extending from the buttons slightly outwards followed by a pull in the upwards direction. I believe the dome cap below either of the the buttons is also removable and washable, if it has become too dusty.
If this still doesn't work or if the touchpad area had also had it's fair share of use, the last link RBS supplied sounds like an excellent deal.
