Today I tried to clean my iBook G4 and I think a little bit of water leaked through around the edges of the touchpad. Well, now the touchpad is not responding at all, but the button still works just fine. The rest of the computer is fine also, I just have to use a regular mouse. I have tried using a blow dryer on the touchpad for a few minutes but that didn't do anything. Do you guys have any suggestions?

you can try ordering a new touchpad from ebay or somewhere and installing it yourself
