[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1298425, member: 56379"] Like "CrimsonRequiem" mentioned...since you're out of warranty is tough to say if Apple will fix it. Technically they shouldn't (since you're out of warranty)...but I've heard of lots of stories where Apple repaired things that "technically" they didn't have to!:) Just got to go to your local Apple Store...and see what happens. As far as repairing it yourself (if Apple won't fix it for free). Since you mentioned having a "late 2009" MacBook...you can purchase the trackpad separately (previous models you couldn't): [url=http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Unibody-Model-A1342-Trackpad/IF160-046]MacBook Unibody (Model A1342) Trackpad (922-9551, 922-9175, 661-5591) - iFixit[/url] ...or if you're REALLY lucky...maybe you can find one used on e-Bay.:) HTH, - Nick p.s. Any way some sort of food particle got lodged under the trackpad...causing the "physical clicking" not to operate? [/QUOTE]
