    Hello all,

    The left button on my inspiron 1520's touchpad is making a croaking noise when I press down on it. It seems that something may be either sticking inside or rubbing against something else inside. Is there anything I can do to make it smooth again when I press down on it? This only happens when I press it first in the left top corner of the button. The first sound it makes sounds like it's unsticking/rubbing, then the second is the usual press of the button.

    Thanks.
