quite a different design from my 3S. I think they are just fastened by double sticky tape, you can see mine 3M on the bottom of the pad. maybe with a low set hairdrier you can heat the pad and then remove it for maintenance. I personally hate click pads, another stupid apple copy of design over function like the on off button. I do not use the click anymore since I often do not know where on the pad I am. I just use 1 tap for left and where the cursor sits 2 taps for right button menu. works very well now.

 

Hmm yeah it looks like I have to stick with the touchbuttons now.

 

I let the alcohole dry over night and then I used it a couple of hours without any problem. Now however, click is completly broken. I mean it works mechanically but click is not registered when I click it. So I iguess I have to get used to using touch. 🙁

Just a question, how  do you drag and drop or drag and select things without the click button?

Hi everybody. Could someone with ubuntu installed please upload or sending a link to a isorespin ubuntu iso which works on our laptop? I would really appreciate. Thanks in advance! Btw is there any linux distro with working touchpad and wake/suspend by now?

 

Yeah i need an already spun ISO aswell. Windows managed to mess up my partitions and now I need a bootable usb to fix it, but I don’t have any iso.

Yeah, I thought so too as mine also started to work ocassionaly when rebooted. Then it stopped working completely in both Windows and Linux no matter how many times I rebooted it. Reseating the ribbon cable actually helped, been working 100% fine now  for  2 weeks since I did it. Could be worth a try at lest, takes about 10 minutes to do.

I did it in Manjaro. Sadly, I can’t get a script to be run at startup. What I ended up doing was installing Redshift and making the screen a bit warmer on the “day” mode.

I also had this problem. Open the laptop and remove the battery. Reseat the flat ribbon cable from the touchpad and motherboard. Have been working for a week now without problems.

On Xubuntu 16.04, argyll can handle the icm and the icc file. I downloaded X-Ray’s file, renamed one copy to jumper.icc and another copy to jumper.icm and loaded the file with “dispwin jumper.icm” or “dispwin jumper.icc”

 

Wow that actually work. Now I just need to add that command as a autostart script!

[Kalle]

I opened the laptop and reseated the flat cable for the touchpad, seems to have fixed it!

[Kalle]

I have the V4 version. Sometimes it does work though and sometimes it stops working when I wake the machine, having to reboot 10 times to get it working again. When I get it working, it will work fine for a couple of weeks sometimes and sometimes it will stop working serveral days in a row. Now I’ve done 10 reboots and cold boots, nothing seems to work. Even booted Windows, doesn’t work there either. Took a look  in the device manager, has some errors but no on the touchpad.

Hmm I just tried changing extension to .icc, sadly, now they can’t be opend at all.

The weird thing is that the opening posts’s profile did work for me in Linux Mint, but I don’t seem to be able to get this working in Manjaro.

[Kalle]

Hmm I have tried applying the profile in DisplayCal in Linux, when I try to import it I get an error message saying that the file doesn’t contain settings.

 

Constantines profile can be imported but not installed:

Ok…now the much dreaded touchpad has multi-gestures in manjaro linux (three and for fingers – pinch). GUIDE (for newbies): 1. Open pacman, go to preferences and then AUR and enable AUR. 2.search for libinput-gestures and install. 3. Open terminal and give libinput-gestures-setup start libinput-gestures-setup autostart 4. default settings are for natural move on touchpad. If you want to change to (what i call) normal or add gestures or remove gestures then: open file manager , select to show hidden files, go to /etc , find the file libinput-gestures.conf and copy/paste it to /home/YOUR USER NAME/.config/ folder. Make any changes you want to the libinput-gestures.conf file in your /home/YOUR USER NAME/.config/ folder and reboot.

 

Tried this, any ideas?

I have to say, I really enjoy Manjaro. Lightweight, fast and pretty!

[Kalle]

The solution is to install Linux:)

Ok …. after a bit of tweaking we are at the state of the attached pictures. Since I am a mac user at work, all my linux systems (3 so far) are all customized to imitate the os x look and feel : Laptop runs fine and really super fast. Bluetooth, wlan, camera, trackpad (two finger scrolling, one and two finger tapping), sound, mics, brightness and fn shortcuts, sensors, and all ports work fine (haven’ t tested hdmi yet). No keyboard lag of any kind, no problem with pressing multiple keys at the same time. CPU freq scales fine and temps are very low (during writing this post cpu is at 32 Celsius) Battery life is at about 5-6 hours with browsing and libre office, but I haven’t tweaked tlp yet, so better run times are possible. (TLP -UI seems to not be able to change-save settings and I have to find a way to boot with disabled bluetooth and not have to manually disable it everytime I boot). Booting into the desktop with conky, docky, dropbox running i use about 600 mb of ram. Overall, I am impressed with how much stable and fast this little machine is (so far), although I am a bit scared from what I read in other threads.

 

How about Wifi? I use Manjaro 17.1.1 with XFCE. My school is part of eduroam, and the machine keeps disconnecting and reconnecting a lot and it takes serveral minutes sometimes to connect. I don’t have this problem at my home network though. On Windows 10 and Linux Mint I didn’t have this issue at school.

@brad I needed to install Kali as we are going to do experiments at school. I can’t manage to get it installed. Is there some special boot command that I can use, just like for installing Manjaro, to get it to work? Much appreciated!

I don’t know anything about Kali. But it is a Debian based distro so probably you will have to use Linuxium’s ISO respin script to make it work. This is how to make Ubuntu flavors work and they are also Debian based distro’s.

 

Ok, I understand. I tried the script, but I get an error message saying only Ubuntu flavoured distros are supported I’m afraid.
