Hey, been playing Mass 3 recently and discovered alot of times when I go into cover my gun randomly shoots (Particularly annoying in MP), I think that the culprit is that I do not disable my touchpad when using a mouse and bump the touchpad when mashing the spacebar. Decided to try it and found out that I cannot disable my touchpad anymore. Before everyone hounds me, I have looked (Or lurked) here for a while for other various errors. I thought I found the fix earlier with reinstalling my drivers, but all of the driver installations I have tried fail for some reason, I've tried both the Synaptics (15.3.17 and 15.2.20) and the Sentelic (9.1.3.5 and 9.1.7.7) and neither produce results, any ideas?
Note: I am 90% sure I have a Synaptics touchpad, as I remember both of my Laptops having the Synaptics logo in the bottom, I obviously no longer have that logo on the G74
As to the keyboard backlight, it's completely my fault. I pulled the laptop apart the other day to clean out the fans from dust. (I do it about yearly with my laptops and it was past due - 5 degrees C decrease at idle as of now) I had some issues when putting it back together and ended up having to do it a few times. I'm 95% sure that I did not miss anything this time, but was wondering if anyone knew WHICH cable supplied the power to the keyboard backlight so I can look for it when I open it again? (As I'm planning to buy a full 1080p replacement screen in the next few weeks)
