    I was wondering if anyone has experienced this...

    Just got a brand new M65 today, and everything worked great.

    Had to reformat and reinstall windows (thats a whole nother story)...

    Reinstalled every driver that was listed on dells website after I entered my service tag in.

    Did all windows updates.

    On occasion, the touchstick....sticks. It wont respond. It takes me moving the cursor on the touchpad and then it works. I have taken the rubber cover off to make sure that there wasn't anything stuck in there, and there wasn't.

    Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions? Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something obvious before I call dell.

    Cheers!

    I have been having problems with the sick on my D820. Dell sent two more keyboards that I put in and the problem still occured. They sent an exchange and the problem still occured. There may be a faulty batch of components out there right now.
