x505 malfunctioning pointing device!!!! please help!!!!!!!plz!!!!!!

[Shon]

Just bought s brand new vaio x505, wah.....so sexy!!!!
however, after i switched it on, the pointing anchor keeps going upper right corner, and sometimes keeps going to lower left corner. It drove me mad!
I also realised that the movement of the anchor changes speed when i move the screen.
I personally believe that is a hardware fault,since i tried to disable the pointing device and use a external usb mice, no problem at all..... however, it is rediculous to bring a fat nice around with such a sexy slim x505, isnt it??

Anybody else have the same or similar problem?? please help!!! Thanks a lot!!

When the pointer moves, are you touching the pad at all?

[Shon]

Of course not touching it at all! and the laptop is placed on my study table...
Plus, the anchor moves faster sometimes, and also slower sometimes.......
any idea?:smileysad:

Sorry, we have to check all posibilities.
Sounds like there's a wire loose in the touchpad.
As it's in warranty I'd get Sony to fix it.

Thanks for your comments - I don't work for Sony, I just like the VAIO. It's so much more mature than Packard Bell and co.

I also love multimedia.
