I can't really explain it that well, but my trackpad has been acting weird. When I go to click on the left side of the trackpad, most of the time it will make a loud clicking sound. It's much louder than a usual click, and it feels different. It feels like there are 2 layers of trackpad that I'm pressing down on.

I have read that it could be a loose screw somewhere, but where? And don't I have to have a special screwdriver to get to it? I have a Aluminum MacBook (I think it's the 2008 or 2009, it's just a MacBook, not a MacBook Pro).

Also, even if I run my fingers across the left side of the trackpad very lightly, it makes a clicking sound.
