The touchpad on my Dell laptop just stopped registering clicks out of the blue. The laptop is only 2,5 years old. Tapping still works. WTF? Tried everything (uninstalling, disabling, updating, restarting, googling), no joy. I'm lousy with my hands, so am not going to try anything mechanical. Connected one of my mice for clicking for now.

Clicks don't work in the safe mode either. Perhaps something has gotten under the touchpad, though I can't tell - the pad still clicks as usual, they just don't register for some reason.
