Right Mouse Button.....again!

Okay, this right mouse button thing (below the touchpad) is really starting to bug me! Now it is worse than ever! I have to basically put mega amounts of pressure on it to make it work.

Does anyone have any pics on taking the mouse buttons off? It looks like there is a lip holding the buttons in, so they cannot be taken off externally. I dont know how to take the computer apart....yet, but if someone already has, and has some pics or advice, I would love to hear it. I use this laptop on airplanes alot, and an external mouse is just not an option, so I gotta get this right mouse button problem solved!

Thanks,

Hyestar

right - here is my charlatan approach (worked for me anyway)
1. normal vacuum machine, vacuuming around the edge of the touch pad & buttons
2. start pressing HARD (left to right, clockwise) on the right button - left top corner, middle top, right top corner, right bottom corner, middle bottom and left bottom corner

my right button mouse is back to normal - for how long? no idea

cheers ...
