Hey anybody ever have this happen? My left laptop mouse button won't work, nor does it work to click on the touch pad. I can scroll on it, but not click. Right click works fine. I thought it must be a software, not a hardware problem since I can scroll but not click. However, when I attach a real mouse to the laptop, everything works fine, which makes me think it's a hardware problem after all.
If I give away the comp for repairs I may lose it for a long time, like even weeks. Any advice?
This is my counter:

Get a Mac!
Is there any reason you can't just use a normal mouse, that seems like the way to go. Then maybe if there's some week when you know you won't really need your computer you can leave it to get fixed. That's what did, left it to get fixed when i was going to an ultimate frisbee tournament.
i always need especially it for business trips, but i also need it especially for vacation trips, like the upcoming one, cause we need to exchange certain information via my comp...
i would recommend not giving it to anyone you don't know. it might be pretty hard to find someone you trust to fiddle with your computer though. it seems like a pretty standard problem, like you got some crumbs stuck under the button, but that's the type of problem some idiot could end up destroying your computer over.
how are macs better in this respect?
it's covered by warranty dariau, so my only choice is to give it back to the place i bought it. otherwise the warranty is void.
Well if it is really a hardware problem like, like aras accidentally spilled beer all over his computer, or he dropped it on the way to work, or he clicks so hard on the button that it broke, then maybe having a mac wouldn't make any difference, but it seems to me people with windows computers are taking them to get fixed more often, especially with software problems, and especialy with virus problems. Maybe that's just because i don't know that many mac users, so it would be very weird for one to of them to have a problem.
Although i did have a problem myself last year so maybe i shouldn't talk.

the only big problem macs tend to have is posting the same comments repeatedly on blogger.
as a matter of fact, i've been very very careful never to eat or drink over Laptopo (that's her name). and it turns out that it is in fact a mechanical malfunction. i heard the place i bought it uses defective hardware to build computeres, like stuff HP discarded as unusable in taiwan gets sold to be used to make piecemeal computers. i heard that from our IT professor, who's about as optimistic as Marvin the Paranoid Android.
