Comment(by wad):

 Failure analysis shows that this is a failure due to a microscopic crack
 appearing in the flex cable connecting the touchpad/keyboard electronics
 module to the touchpad.  The manufacturer is working on increasing the
 reliability of the cable to eliminate this problem.

 Final testing has been added instructions to the touchpad test to ensure
 that both directions are tested.

 We expect that this is an infant mortality problem, and shouldn't appear
 in the field on units received in working condition.
