Solution:
v
Make sure that the keyboard cable is correctly connected to the computer.
v
If you are using the keyboard/mouse cable, make sure that the cable is
correctly connected to the computer, and that the keyboard cable is
connected to the correct side of the keyboard/mouse cable.
v
If you are using the docking station or the port replicator, make sure that
the keyboard cable is correctly connected to the keyboard connector.
If these connections are correct, disconnect the external keyboard from the
computer and make sure that the built-in keyboard operates properly. If the
built-in keyboard works, there is a problem with either the cable or the
keyboard. Try using a different keyboard/mouse cable or external keyboard.
TrackPoint problems
Problem:
The cursor drifts when the computer is turned on or after it resumes
normal operation.
Solution:
The cursor might drift when you are not using the TrackPoint
during normal operation. This is a normal characteristic of the TrackPoint and
is not a defect. Cursor drifting might occur for several seconds under the
following conditions:
v
When the computer is turned on.
v
When the computer resumes normal operation.
v
When the TrackPoint is pressed for a long time.
v
When the temperature changes.
Problem:
The cursor does not work for a while after the settings in the Mouse
Properties window have been changed.
Solution:
This is a normal characteristic of the cursor. Wait several seconds
until the cursor returns to the normal state.
Problem:
The mouse or pointing device does not work.
Solution:
Make sure that the TrackPoint is enabled in the ThinkPad
Configuration Program, and then try using the TrackPoint. If the TrackPoint
works, the error might be due to the mouse.
Make sure that the mouse or pointing-device cable is securely connected to
the computer.
If your mouse is incompatible with the IBM
®
PS/2
®
mouse, disable the
TrackPoint, using the ThinkPad Configuration Program.
