BobDylan Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Okay, this problem is really getting on my nerves so I've brought it here to see if anyone has a solution or an idea. I've got a Toshiba Satellite A105-s4064 notebook. Recently the left click on the touchpad has stopped working. So far I've cracked the case open to check if a connection was loose and one is not. I also checked the drivers, updated and still no luck. When I plug in a wireless mouse, both clicks work fine. The right click on the touchpad works great. The touchpad itself works great. Just the left click is essentially worthless right now. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes food or other items can get in there. But with what you have tried and all it might be either the trackpad itself, the ribbon connection to the motherboard or the motherboard itself. Its hard to find field replacement units on the open market for the trackpad. You are probably better off getting a wireless mouse and using that in the long run.

Palehosefan Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Fiancee has the same computer with the same problem. It's as though the left touchpad is stuck, yet it's not. I've opened it up and cleaned out the Heat sink and everything, and still nothing. Very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
