erratic v505 touchpad

This may be old news, but I figured it would be best for me to give you news
you already knew than not give any at all.

Concerning the erratic touchpad on the v505. I have been having a similar
problem with 3 seperate v505's. It seems to be a hardware problem.

The Fix:

 If you look closely at the touchpad, there is a ridge around it. With each
machine that had a problem the touchpad slid up and the ridge was underneath
the case. What I did to solve the problem was slide the touchpad down and
place a small straight head screwdriver between the upper portion of the
ridge and the case. This caused the touchpad to sit a bit low. I held the
screwdriver there for about five minutes or so. This fixed my problem.

The Source:

The 3 users of the laptop that have been having problems had a tendency of
holding the laptop, while open, by the lower corner(s). I've noticed my
machine needs the fix less often since I've stopped making holding it like
that.

Hope this works for you.
