@rayluo: You did a great job, not only of getting your problem fixed, but also of:
1) Clearly sharing the specifics of the problem in the first place.
2) Carefully reading and applying the suggestions that were given.
3) Giving appropriate recognition and credit to those who helped to provide answers.
4) Expertly documented the steps you used to solve the problem, and
5) Getting the problem solved! Congratulations!
Thank you for such a list! I am flattered.
We would also need to thank an unsung hero who marked this post as “solved”. I attempted to do so, but could not find the buttons.
Regarding the part about the sore thumbnails, I wonder if there is a good tool for dislodging and removing the thumb rest? I suspect there is.
I believe that it was either a popular Dell model or an IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad model that my next door neighbor/hardware engineer was able to carefully disassemble and fix, all in 5 minutes…
It would indeed be easy for pros. That video provided by Koo shows the guy removing the palm rest by bare hand within 1 minute, while “bragging” how his finger nails worked so well. 🙂 While it is that easy for them, I doubt there would need to be any specific tool for this job, though I would love to be proved wrong here. 🙂
