    Hi,

    I bought an Aspire 5100 2 months ago and it's been awesome.
    Recently, however, the left-click button below the touch pad has been shaken loose and is now pivoting about the center. This means that I have to click with two fingers or click right at the center, because the button is really shaky, no longer firmly fixed in place.

    I devised a makeshift solutions to the problem by stuffing the sides of the button with thin pieces of paper to fix the button in place, but it's really stupid.

    What should I do? Should I attempt to take it apart, or should I send it to the store to have it repaired? Does warranty cover this problem anyway?

    Thanks a lot
