    Gateway NV510P04u the left click button is not functioning. You can click by double tapping touchpad or by using the touchscreen, but you can't use the button. Anything I can do to fix it? :confused:

    Is the click the same feel for the left as it is the right button? Could be the microbutton (the actual button on the PCB) or the plastic button itself. If you can send it back under warranty then maybe you should. I had to fix someones laptop that had the same problem (not gateway), turns out the surface mounted button on the circuit board was loose inside and had to resolder it, but it was working again.
