Record whether the issue follows wake, startup or active work. Compare Touchpad and TrackPoint without changing unrelated settings.

Preserve access: Keep a valid private alternate sign-in method before investigating a fingerprint symptom. Back up accessible files and verify owner/IT recovery access. Never add passwords, recovery keys or biometric data to the report.

EVIDENCE TO RECORD Most recent recurrence: Not recorded Affected pointing route: Not recorded Owner has a private alternate sign-in: Not recorded Comparison 1 — Ordinary wake with the same approved power/peripheral setup: Not checked Comparison 2 — Same pointer action using Touchpad and TrackPoint separately: Not checked Comparison 3 — After service: the original normal-use recurrence condition: Not checked STOP CONDITIONS Stop using and charging equipment with swelling, casing separation, smoke, a burning smell or suspected battery damage. Do not open or press on it. Set damaged accessories aside. Do not open mains adapters or force connectors. Do not erase, reset, flash firmware or bypass a lock as a default diagnostic step. OUTCOMES Handoff packet assembled: Review the evidence report and share it directly with the provider you choose. - Normal-use wake conditions without stress testing - Touchpad versus TrackPoint differences - Alternate sign-in availability kept private - Retain which included task records are unfinished, unavailable or stopped. - Confirm the provider’s data-handling plan before agreeing to data-changing work. Partial packet ready: The packet lists available results alongside missing task records. Use it to agree which safe observations remain. - Normal-use wake conditions without stress testing - Touchpad versus TrackPoint differences - Alternate sign-in availability kept private - Retain which included task records are unfinished, unavailable or stopped. - Confirm the provider’s data-handling plan before agreeing to data-changing work. Data protection needs a conversation: Export the available evidence and discuss backup or access limitations before handing over the device. - Tell the provider which data is inaccessible and whether a verified backup exists. - Normal-use wake conditions without stress testing - Touchpad versus TrackPoint differences - Alternate sign-in availability kept private - Retain which included task records are unfinished, unavailable or stopped. - Confirm the provider’s data-handling plan before agreeing to data-changing work. Unconfirmed handoff packet: The report keeps unknown fields and unperformed checks visible. Ask the provider which observation is safe and necessary next. - Explain that safety or readiness has not yet been confirmed. - Normal-use wake conditions without stress testing - Touchpad versus TrackPoint differences - Alternate sign-in availability kept private - Retain which included task records are unfinished, unavailable or stopped. - Confirm the provider’s data-handling plan before agreeing to data-changing work. Stop-use handoff packet: Do not reproduce a hazardous fault. Export the observations already available and follow manufacturer service guidance. - Do not use, charge, open or press on equipment with suspected battery damage. - Keep suspected damaged accessories out of routine comparison tests. - Normal-use wake conditions without stress testing - Touchpad versus TrackPoint differences - Alternate sign-in availability kept private - Retain which included task records are unfinished, unavailable or stopped. - Confirm the provider’s data-handling plan before agreeing to data-changing work.
