My laptop built in mouse is stuck . it will not stop clicking

Anytime a device, (keyboard, mouse, USB device) stops working, the very first point of issue is to re-install the drivers. Drivers have been known to inexplicably become corrupt and will malfunction or not function at all. In case such as yours, where the device is built into the hardware itself, it's best to go to Start>Computer, right click Computer, click on Properties, then click on Device Manager. Find the device that is malfunctioning, in your case, the mousepad, and right click on it...then click uninstall. Reboot your system and it will reload the drivers on restart. Nine times out of ten, this will resolve the problem. There is a slim possibility that your mouspad plug has become loose...if that's the case, you will have to remove the keyboard and reseat the plug. Youtube has tons of videos showing how to do this with various laptops.

Is it an optical or laser mouse? Try to use another mouse and check if the problem is with the PC or the mouse.

HiDiane
You need to takje it to an Apple store. Some of these macbooks had faulty batteries which Apple has been replacing.
What happens is the battery swells and it is located underneath the track-pad. This swelling prevents the click being depressed.
It's important that you get it checked straight away as these batteries can be dangerous.

Follow this procedure to disable the touchpad.

Click the Start button, then click VAIO Support Central.

In the VAIO Support Central window, click on the Categories tab.

On the Categories tab, click the Plus (+) symbol next to Keyboard and Mouse.

Under Keyboard and Mouse, double-click Built-in Pointing Device.

In the Built-in Pointing Device window, click to clear the Enable box.

Click the OK button.

In the Built-in Pointing Device dialog box, click the Yes button.

There is sometimes a switch to disable the built in mouse/trackpad when using an external mouse, you can also check mouse properties in control panel

Plug in a USB or optical mouse,then use that to go to your control panel/device manager and remove your pointing device,then restart your computer.Windows will reload the drivers for your built in mouse,they are probably corrupted..that should fix it:)

Dear Sue_s46,

Try and double chek all settings relate to keyboard and mouse by following below steps.

go to control panle- Mouse, double check it has not changed the settings the way normally works for left-right click and wheel.

regarding keyboard, go to control panle- regional and language settings. double check all settings are fine there.

if you dont get luck with anything, you might have Sony utility relate to keyboard/mouse. you can search for that program from start menu and within all programms.

let me know, if nothing works or any other issues.

also, let me know which operating system you have on Sony Laptop?

Many Thanks.

try to get a mouse built for laptops or get a mouse from the same brand as the laptop. and check to see if when you plug in the mouse on screen it says 'new hard ware found' if not it is not reconizeing it.

Did you restart the laptop?

Is your back button stuck under the left click button? Mine did this, simply pry up on the let click button and it will release.
