    Hi. I use the left click above the touchpad (the button with the red horizontal stripe) very frequently and I'm afraid it's broken.

    When I press it, it actuates just as before, but the X120e doesn't respond. Is there a way to fix it and is it an issue among x120e owners?

    Thanks

    If you're still under warranty, call Lenovo and ask for a new keyboard/UltraNav part. If not, I would first remove the keyboard and clean/air blast any dust and debris that could be lurking around there. Then, reassemble carefully and see if it works. If not, you'll probably have to buy a replacement keyboard/UltraNav.

    I don't recall any previous issues with the TrackPoint mouse buttons failing, either on the X120e or other Thinkpads, but you could just have gotten unlucky.
