I gather that you have checked continuity from the plug to the switch,
or checked that the switch has failed. The switch could have moved so
that the button doesn't quite work the switch. You could combine parts
to make a "good" mouse. A common problem is for the small wires to
fatigue and break off at the solder joints.
It's probably not worth the effort, but you may be able to carefully pry
open the switch and clean the contacts or repair it. You may also be
able to figure out what happened.

Might be interesting to check continuity from the plug to the components.
Did you replace it with another MS mouse? Did you have to replace the
mouse driver?
