Hi everyone,
A friend of mine has some issues with the trackpad of his 2010 MacBook Air.
About two weeks ago, he stated that his trackpad was a bit messed up because when he just wanted to move his cursor, the trackpad reacted as if he clicked and dragged.
I first tried to repair disk permissions, reset the PRAM / VRAM but that didn't work out.
I then proceeded doing a hardware test that came with the Snow Leopard-stick, but it said everything was just fine so I reinstalled OS X Lion from the recovery-partition - but that didn't solve the problem either.
I then used my own copy of OS X Lion (USB-stick) to reinstall OS X, and for now it works properly but I'm still not sure if it's completely gone.
I've Googled the issue, but it doesn't seem like a widespread one. I was wondering if anybody else has had this problem and if so, how they've solved it?
Regards,
Nilscollection
EDIT // I've also tried both our Magic Mice, but they react the same way as the trackpad - assuming that the trackpad is a USB-device and the Magic Mouse a bluetooth-device, does this mean that it's not hardware bound?
