Couple of days ago the left mouse button sort-a broke. Still functions after a fashion but no click and no sharp return like normal.
Got with online chat with tech. and once he understood it was a mechanical problem and nothing to do with software he immediately realized it needed to go in for repair. He is sending me the packaging materials and free shipping informatin and it will be 2nd day coming and going and maybe a week for repair once they ge it. So will keep everyone posted on the outcome. It is supposed to be no cost to me since it is still under warranty.
Did find out something that I didn't realize thru my calling local shops; it seems the mouse buttons and touch pad are an intergal part of the motherboard and if it has to be replaced you have to replace the entire motherboard.
