Hey everybody, been working on my Portege M780-s7210 that I got yesterday and put a fresh install of Windows7 64-bit on it on a new SeaGate 500GB HDD. The install was good but driver installs are naturally being a pain.
I have six main questions that I am having issues with:
1) When I turn the laptop into tablet mode the screen does not rotate, it just stays like it does in laptop mode. It also does not change after pressing and holding the screen rotate button. I believe I have installed all correct drivers, but I may be mistaken.
2) I have read that there is a way to use my finger on the touchscreen, which would make sense since it is a touchscreen. But I do not see any way to use my fingers on the screen as I have read there is a button to press for this. I cannot get it to work, but can only assume there is another driver I am missing for this as well?
3) Screen Calibration - With the included stylus, the stylus and touch points are just slightly off. Is there a way to clibrate the pen and the screen?
4) This laptop came with an extended battery, but whenever I connect the battery and then plug it in it says Battery #2: Plugged in, not charging. Anyone know why this isn't charging?
5) Is there an easy way to clean behind the touch part of the screen? It looks like there is some dust trapped behind the touch panel and the LCD itself.
6) I can't use the quick buttons at the top of the keyboard by using fn + 1/2/3 etc..
I have installed just about every driver that I saw needed, so I'm not sure if there are other issues.
I plan on calling support on a couple of these topics in the morning, but figured I'd ask here first.
Any help would be greatly appreciated on any of the above topics.
Thanks in advance!
