remove and clean under the trackpoint mouse buttons

#1 Post by louisJ » Fri Feb 10, 2017 1:51 pm

Hi

is it possible to remove the left mouse button (used with the trackpoint) to clean it below ?
Because mine doesn't work well like something's beneath it ?

thanks !

Remove the keyboard and blow it out with compressed air.

If you own Lenovo computers it pays to download the free service manuals for these systems.

Thanks but for my T450, removing the keyboard doesn't give access to the buttons: https://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/documents/pd100669
