    Is it possible to easily clean the under side of the left and right click? It feels as if there is something under it and I'd like to know if this can be done.

    I don't believe you can get under there without disassembling the whole palm rest.. You could try some spraying some canned/compressed air in the cracks to see if it blows out anything or at least moves it out of the way..

    This happened to my NP6350 today and I used compressed air to get it back to normal. The right rocker functioned but didnt make a responsive click. It was very annoying. You should put some light pressure down on it to allow the air to enter effectively. I didnt even want to think about having to strip it down to access below the rocker arm and fingerprint reader.
