Not sure if this is hardware or software, but it relates to the hardware so I guess it goes here.
I have a 8 day old Acer Timeline 3810T laptop. It was working fine up until today.
Today, the mouse (trackpad) just wouldn't click. You could move around and right click, but you couldn't left click.
My first thought was drivers, so I uninstalled the drivers and restarted. Running on the windows driver, the mouse works fine. Tap to click, left click and right click. The only thing that doesn't work is scrolling. Seeing as I want scrolling, I went onto Acer's website and downloaded the latest Synoptics mouse driver.
Installed the driver, and again - left click doesnt work (and tap to click also doesn't work). If I disable the buttons in the Synoptics control pannel, then tap to click works (but then you can't right click). If I enable the buttons and make the left mouse click do something else, like go to start - then it works fine too (but I still can't left click by tapping).
If I delete the synoptics driver, the mouse works 100% except the fact I cannot scroll.
I tried the acer driver, the driver off the synoptics website and even doing a full system restore. I am out of ideas here...
