Hi Pedro,
actually, you do not have to take the palm rest apart:
I usually do it (every once in while when my klicker is bad, three times
now) without big surgery:
try to - carefully ! - pop off the trackpad button inserting a screw
driver on the right front side, a bit left to the frontmost curve (go
straight from the right end of the trackpad down to where the button ends
frontwards - hope this sounds understandable...). do it slowly, softly
and carfully. it ususally just popps off and you can take it nout. then
continue as Tim said: I rubbed off the whole pin and put some
resistandable plastics on top off the clicker that takes on the pressing
from the trackpad button. it now works fine agin - for how long?
you can just pop it back in when your done. but this is much mor easy
than taking of the palm rest. but if you do not want it to do, a local
dealer may does it, although they mostly do not know about these special
tricks, at least here in germany.....
hope this helps.
