trackpad button repair

thebossanova · 2010-09-05 17:33:42

The trackpad button on my early 2008 macbook pro has been dented near the centre so that it seems to be permanently depressed, so I can't use the trackpad and have to use a mouse all the time. Wondering what the best way to go about this is. I obviously need to replace the button but not sure whether to look for parts…

The trackpad button on my early 2008 macbook pro has been dented near the centre so that it seems to be permanently depressed, so I can't use the trackpad and have to use a mouse all the time. Wondering what the best way to go about this is. I obviously need to replace the button but not sure whether to look for parts myself or to leave it into a shop. It is not under warranty and I'm not afraid of opening it up (RAM and HD upgraded by myself). Any advice?

unfortunately the top case is a whole unit, won't be able to get the trackpad itself.
