Trackpoint Problem

#1 Post by mdbrown » Sun Jun 20, 2004 2:26 pm

Lately, the trackpoint on my 770x wants to "recalibrate" almost constantly so it's real annoying to use. Move it and it will take off on it's own in calibrate mode. Is this an indication of a pending hardware failure or is this a driver problem?

Time for a new keyboard.

It's rarely a software problem, amost certainly a sign of impending failure.
