dead mouse acer aspire 5517 LT

[Kenneth Koym]

Mike & Ralf:
Did the trial run with two separate live DVDs and got no response on the
internal mouse so I checked with Frys Electronics where I bought my Acer.
They confirmed the date of sale and invoice # on file, then I drove out
where a diagnostic test was done. The test revealed a defect in the touch
pad and top cover; and, that this merited returning the Acer to the
manufacturer under their warranty. Though the laptop must be away, this
suggests no causative software issue.

Thanks for helping me verify the trouble.
Kenneth
