Macbook Air trackpad click not responding...?

Hi,

I have a Macbook Air and the mouse will move around but the the clicker won't respond to what I click on the screen, there is a click sound but it dosn't respond to anything.

What can I do? do I need to take the computer apart or what please help!!!

Model, year, specifics

for the machine? Mouse or trackpad problem? Applecare?

Check your settings under System Preferences>Trackpad>point and click?

I tried that and it just does not want to respond to anything I try to click on, any other ideas?

Try tapping to click.

Depending on your model of macbook air, if you take the bottom case off, right under the trackpad there is a small screw. It will look similar to this: Picture

The newer screws are tri-wing, but a torx will still work. Make small (like 1/8th turn at a time) adjustments, try the trackpad again and see if it works. It took me about 20 minutes of trial and error to get it working correctly on my wife's MBP. Don't over-tighten the screw. It can cause damage to the trackpad. Often, it seems that if it's not picking up clicks, it needs to be tightened (turned to right). If it's too hard to click/too loud, it needs to be loosened. (turned to left).

Take care,
