    Hello,
    I just recently got the lenovo ideapad u450p and I accidentally spilled some liquid onto the touchpad. I managed to clean it all out, but unfortunately the right click still does not work properly. I have tried:
    -Swapping the left and right click commands
    -Assigning different tap zones the secondary click action
    -Assigning the right click button several different actions
    -Uninstalling the synaptics touchpad driver and reinstalling
    -Looking through the included manual for a disassembly guide
    -Calling lenovo customer support (who made me do all these over again)
    -Actually trying to unscrew the laptop (one corner screw was stripped away and I couldn't continue)

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I am about to just try and pull out the touchpad buttons and wipe them down, but I do not know how to disassemble the laptop. Is it worth it to just buy the accident warranty for 60 dollars? My current warranty doesnt cover liquid damage.
    Thank you for your help
