The trackpad is very close to the laptop, less than 8 inches away on the same table as the laptop, the battery is fully charged every day.īut the trackpad doesn't behave in a consistent way. I click with my right thumb near the bottom of the Trackpad, and I drag with my index finger. I do a lot of design, so I have to drag and move items several hours a day. Hope this helps and leads others.I am using a Magic Trackpad 2. You´ll find out why this answer couldn´t be any shorter. The entirely new revamped G-Suite is great and has a lot of potential. In fact, we (as students) have Google Apps Unlimited for Education and the teachers have Google Apps Unlimited for Work. WHETHER YOU ARE ON Windows, macOS, OS X, Linux, or Unix, JUST STAY WHERE YOU ARE AT! I will say though, that Google is not a bad company. Huge headache.īY THE WAY - IF THERE ARE ANY ADMINISTRATORS OR USERS THAT ARE CONSIDERING GOING WITH ChromeOS, DON´T. I just think it would have been better to stick with the 12,500+ Windows 7 computers that we had. And the idea of going all cloud managed is great, because Windows is not as fast as it could be. I absolutely hate them, and I believe that the district will end up regreting ¨Going Google.¨ Granted they are cheap, fast, and cloud managed, no current ChromeOS device is anywhere close to being up-to-par with modern standards in technology. Probably around 7,500 ChromeOS devices total. We also have ASUS Chromebits, ASUS/HP/Acer/Dell Chromeboxes, and many, many other Chromebooks. And I would say atleast 3,000 of them are doing this. I absolutely cannot stand it and I just want to throw them to the next county - also because, well, they´re chromebooks. I am in the tech department for an entire school district (yes I am a student, so I experience this everyday). Hope that helps people as this seems to be a VERY common issue with the XE303C12 model chromebooks from Samsung. This should leave enough of a gap on the front side of the trackpad where it won't catch and allow it to freely move and click. re-install it by pushing the back side of the trackpad (not the underside by the tape) as much as you can to butt it up to the palmrest plastic closest to the keyboard. What I found in all this is that the trackpad apparently works it's way forward and gets wedged on the frame of the palmrest plastic. Heating the top of the palmrest will not get enough heat to the tape to loosen it. The heat should ONLY be applied to the under side of the pad. If using a heat gun though, take extra care not to overheat the plastic and warp it. It is just held in by some strong double stick tape that can be loosened with a heat gun. And as for cparrish saying that the trackpad is glued in is not entirely true. This dimple pad is pressed against a raised plastic cross ( + ) on the plastic under the trackpad. This "spring" that they are talking about is a metal dimple switch pad, and if that were actually bad, no amount of alcohol would fix it. Anyways, to kind of comment on cparrish's post, I was also told by a Samsung support person that there was a spring under the trackpad that could be cleaned. I did it without a heat gun, but I would imagine that with a heat gun it would be a ton easier. I took one of them apart today and got the entire trackpad assembly out. Samsung is no longer covering these under our warranty. I have about 15 of these at the moment that have the same issue. I stared it back up and the erratic behavior was gone, and the clicks returned. As I had the back cover off, I also pressed up from the bottom and was able to get to the edge for better cleaning.Īfter cleaning the dust and hair from the inside, I replaced the battery and back cover. I put a little on a cotton swab (not heavy), and went around the edge of the touchpad. I too did not have any alcohol, but did have some OOPS!. I went to google this time and added "no click" to my search and found your problem/solution. I have a second Chromebook second here I realized the real difference was the lack of a clicking sound when pressing. no click and touchpad had limited movement. _"not enough room for this part of response"_ This seems more like just cleaning it from items that come of you skin over time. Much easier than removing the touchpad cover and realigning. Thank you this should be added to list of support questions.
