Hello, whenever i type, my trackpad locks for a few seconds how do i fix this?

hi...

thats normal on many laptops... even on my Dell and Lenovo...

the trick is to disable the Trackpad when typing...

1) Click Fn + F3 keys together to disable the trackpad and then type
2) Click Fn + F3 keys together to re enable the trackpad and then type
3) Buy an external Keyboard and Mouse (Wireless one) and use them (I do the same)
4) if you have trackpad drivers & application installed then adjust the sensitivity of trackpad on it

Thanks,

Hi

This is not automatic lock but you have turned off the trackpad

Hold the Fn key and press F9 key this will re-activate the mouse and then you can use it.

It is provided to turn off because then you type if your palm touch the trackpad the cursor will move and you may start typing somewhere else.

Sounds like your trackpad needs replacement. The part is available on major auction websites for around $10. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to Blackberry Repair. If you want to do it yourself, here is an Blackberry 8520 Repair Guide that shows how to repair a Blackberry.

GOTO your settings menu.
Select trackpad
is the first box selected if so uncheck it
make sure you check out the settings for right and left click while you are there.

Hello sarahscarah,

I've repaired a fair share of Macbooks with the same issue, but just to make sure it is what I think it is I'll need you to do a few things.

This issue is thought to be caused by a bent/warped ribbon cable that is located under the battery. This cable is what connects the trackpad and keyboard to the rest of your computer. To test if this is the problem do the following.

1. Verify that an external keyboard and mouse will work with your Macbook when plugged in to a USB port.
2. Connect your Macbook to your power adapter and plug into wall.
3. Unlock your battery by turning the dial on the bottom of your Macbook with a coin.
4. Remove the battery and set it aside.
5. Press down on the exposed trackpad cable with your finger.
6. While pressing down on this cable try typing on your Macbook's keyboard and moving the cursor with the trackpad.

If this works then you've solved it, you can place a piece of "Kapton Tape" over this cable to hold it down, but this is a temporary fix. You will probably need your trackpad and keyboard replaced. If your macbook is still under warranty take it to an Apple store, show them the problem and have it fixed or replaced. If its out of warranty you'll be looking at a $200-$300 repair to have the trackpad/keyboard replaced by a technician.

Here's a picture of the exposed trackpad cable for reference.

Hope this helps, if so please leave positive feedback. Thank you.

Sounds like your keyboard may have gotten wet. Somebody needs to open your Blackberry and clean it from any corrosion and residue of the liquid. If you want somebody else to do it for you go to Blackberry Repair. If you want to do it yourself, here is an Blackberry 8520 Repair Guide that shows how to repair a Blackberry.

In order to stop the player I hold the Stop button for a few seconds. Hope it'll work for U 2.

The solution is to turn the machine onto standy and then hold the 'display' button for a few seconds, and voila, the trays are unlocked... geni-arse!
