If you ever owned a laptop, chances are pretty high you must have heard of the business-oriented laptop lineup by Lenovo called ThinkPad.
These devices have a boxy design and feature a red-colored analog stick called Trackpoint that can be used to perform various actions such as imitate cursor movement and simulate mouse clicks.
On most ThinkPads, these can be found between the G, H, and B keys with the mouse buttons places just below the space button.
However, according to recent reports from ThinkPad users, the Trackpoint randomly freezes or stops working entirely. Many say that they they tried updating their drivers but it makes no difference.
Users suggest that putting their ThinkPad to sleep and waking it up or rebooting the PC makes the TrackPoint work again, indicating that the problem is not hardware-related bug.
Fortunately, a user said that they have created a workaround that fixes the ThinkPad TrackPoint issue.
With Lenovo yet to acknowledge the ThinkPad TrackPoint not working issue, it is still unclear how long users will have to live with the bug. When they release a fix, we will let you know so stay tuned.
