390x and trackpoint

[lohtse]

Hi All

Have just aquired a 390x and all was working well then the trackpoint mouse thingy stopped working.Uninstall and 2000 reinstalled it at next boot up but still no trackpoint response. Does anyone have any ideas? I have a spare thinkpad 600 keyboard and trackpoint would this work on the 390x??

regards
Andrew

Dear Friend

Track point feature is not related with operating system. In the system BIOS (Easy Set Up) the track point feature has to be enabled. There is a possibility of loose connection with the track point cable or the respective cable connector may be bad which requires a replacement/repair.

The above may please be checked.

A bad TrackPoint should show an 8611 error or something similar at startup. The TrackPoint can also be disabled (and re-enabled) using ThinkPad Configuration, and you can disable the device in the Windows Device Manager. Check both of those.
