"Remove 18 screws from the bottom of the casing." Gah. The operation was a success, but doesn't fill me with love for operating on laptops. Desktop bad mouse: Unplug, toss, get a new one. Try to disassemble and diagnose if you're bored. Laptop bad touchpad click button: Remove battery, remove keyboard case cover, unplug LCD unit, remove mountain of screws, hope you don't break the bezel removing it, remove keyboard, unplug a half-dozen other things, FINALLY get to mouse switches, fail to see anything wrong, rub down with alcohol, reassemble. Wa hey! The button magically works again. Oh look, extra screws. -Eric -- Eric Barringer Technology Coordinator Blue Ridge CUSD #18
