Trackpad click suddenly only works about 50% of the time on unibody Macbook Pro

[Goldfire]

I have a unibody Macbook Pro from November of 2009, and it was worked flawlessly until about 2 days ago. I started noticing that clicks only register about 50% of the time when clicking on the trackpad. Nothing else has an issue, moving the mouse and gestures all work perfectly still. I'm wondering if this could be a hardware issue or something else?

Did you install any software lately that could relate to the trackpad? Like remapping software or something like that.

No, I haven't installed anything in a week or two, no updates or anything.

This EXACT same thing is happening to me. I think a drop of water may have seeped into the trackpad crack though.

At least yours is under warranty...so just take it in.

Am I going to end up being without a computer for a week or two if they have to repair it? This is my only computer and I run my business on it.
