Lol Been there, done that..both disassembling and finding nothing wrong putting it back together again and it works plus the extra screws!

"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
