Hi,
Thanks to help received earlier from here, I've removed the keyboard and top-panel from my Notebook as I have the following problem:
Touchpad works fine.
Right touchpad button works fine.
Left touchpad button is intermittent.
If I press hard, I can get it to work (it seems that if I change where I press on the button can make a difference, but that's not consistent. Sometimes I have to press in the middle or to one side, top or bottom, or the other - but, as said, none of those techniques are reliable). Double-clicking is almost a complete no-no.
I've checked the plastic button-connector which seems fine (indeed, there is evidence of the "cross" connecting on the actual motherboard's touchpad button).
I know I can set the right-hand button to perform the left-hand button tasks (but I also regularly need the right-hand button menu item availability). Alternatively, I can plug a USB mouse in - but that's not always practical.
I've dry-cleaned the area of dust (but the motherboard mouse-buttons are sealed blocks, in any case). No joy.
Probably answered my own question here, really, in that it's a lost-cause but I would be grateful if someone COULD provide a realistic solution.
Thanks for reading.:smileyhappy:
