[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1911787, member: 56379"] Mentioning the word "accident"...can be confusing if there was no accident.:) As far as the battery. Was the old battery swollen/very swollen? Many times the battery (or part of the battery) is located under the trackpad...and when the battery swells...it prevents "physical clicking" of the trackpad from working...but tap-to-click usually still works. Some keys on the keyboard may also stop working due to the swollen battery. It is possible if the battery got swollen enough...physical damage could have occurred to the cable connections/logic board. Hopefully if the battery was swollen...nothing leaked out of the battery. If the replacement battery is good...and if the installation of the new battery went ok...then the issue could be elsewhere (hopefully not damage). Nick [/QUOTE]
