Reflash again and test several full power cycles. ie no battery & no ext 
power.  The act of reflashing forces a calibrate to happen.

There are no touchpad related changes in the new EC code.  All of the 
touchpad driver changes are via the kernel.  So if you have an old 
kernel you have the old touchpad driver.

I'm not sure that testing on a B3 is worth much.  I think A different 
touchpad firmware was in use then.
