Thanks to this Latitude D620 tear-apart guide, this $5 part, and a little patience I got my laptop track pad buttons fully functioning this weekend!

When I bought the used laptop, the top set you would normally use with the track point in the keyboard were not working at all. So you had to mouse two handed with your thumbs in an awkward position.

If I had been paying attention, I’d have picked up a few of the LCD hinges as well. The set that came on the laptop are pretty… weak, and let the screen wobble a bit. I’ve tightened up the screws, and it’s clearly the hinges themselves that have play in them.

I also have a build of Haiku running on the real hardware. Fascinating!
