    I haven't had the R560 very long, 5 months at most, but today when I turned it on today the left mouse button wasn't working very well, and then it stopped working altogether.
    Is anyone else having this problem? The touchpad and the right mouse button still work, it's just the left button, and it was working perfectly fine yesterday.
    If anyone knows how to fix this I'd appreciate it if you could post. I really don't want to have to send this back to the manufacturers.

    That is not a common problem. Maybe a little dirt has caused it to jam.

    Try putting your fingernail into the gap around the edge and lift gently.
