Mouse pad problems

January 13, 2009 by Dave and Ruth Brendle

A missionary had sent Dave a notebook computer for repair. First thing Dave noticed is that the notebook’s touch pad (mouse pad) had been disabled. And as Dave needed a mouse to check out other things, he enabled the touch pad.

And immediately he understood why it had been disabled. If he moved his finger sideways, the cursor moved upwards. If he moved his finger upwards, the cursor moved sideways. It would have made sense if it had been off by 90 degrees, but it wasn’t. It was off by more like 120 degrees.

Although he’d never encountered a problem like this before, he quickly found where to set the orientation of the touch pad, and the problem was solved.

  • Pray for Dave. Missionaries are making their older computers last longer in these economically-troubled times, so Dave and his co-workers are doing more repairs than usual. Pray they will have insight to solve the problems.
