Aluminum Macbook Trackpad problems

[macandipodfan]

I bought a used 2GHZ Aluminum MacBook off eBay.
For some reason, when I click on the lower right corner of the trackpad, it presses down and sticks in that position. The left side of the trackpad clicks fine.
The computer appears to have about 2 months of warranty left, but I am wondering if there's anything to try on it before I take it in.

Just send in the computer, If it has warranty no need for you to mess with it even more. Also buy AppleCare when you're taking it in so you'll have 3 more years of warranty

Macbook applecare extends warranty three years from the computer's original date of purchase; if OP gets applecare now they'll have two years (and two months) of warranty remaining.

I suppose I'll just take it in.

I've got an AppleCare box laying around, so I might register that if there's nothing else wrong with it.

This isn sort of related, so I thought I'd mention it here. I'm having some problems with the trackpad on my Unibody Alu Macbook too. My clicks aren't registering all the time, sometimes I'll have to attempt to click at least 3-4 times before it is recognised. USB mice still work perfectly.

Anyone else having similar problems?

use the waranty. or alternativly get a mouse. until then i reccomend disabling the trackpad and using mouse keys (press the option key 5 times). if you are using snow leopard use the mouse keys to get to system prefrences>Universal Access>Mouse and Trackpad and check the "ignore trackpad when mouse is present" box.

Hope this helps!
