Today my hp laptop dv8000 decided to stop working. the right click works fine as well as the touchpad. The left click doesnt work at all and is loose. i took it into best buy and they couldnt figue it out. They said that I would probably have to replace the whole piece, touch pad and right/left clicks. Any suggestions on what it could be?
Also tonight it would work for maybe 15 seconds then stop working again.
Thanks,
Sarah

-   Had laptop less than a year. Touchpad and right click works, but double tap and left click does not.
My DV8000 started the same thing this morning. Did you have a solution? It appears the left mouse key is damaged. The right key has it's normal smooth click feel where as the left key has a distinct rocking click..like maybe it's not seated properly.
I have the exact same problem after 1 year of use. I think this is probably a manufacturers defect from being used 'too much' i am replacing the palmrest (to get a new touchpad)
Sarah it might be due to Hardware malfunction i think you should replace the switches+touch pad! can i know how much old is you laptop? most of the touch pad needs to be replaced when used more than 4-5 years!

Buy a new USB mouse so that you will not bother using the leftclick on the laptop anymore. try also restarting your computer.
My HP laptop has the same ledft click problem. At less than 6 months old, I sent it to HP to be fixed. When I got it back it worked mostly but still had issues. Now it is not working again.
HP customer service sent us a box right away to ship it to them with postage paid. This time they want to keep us on the phone for 40 minutes troubleshooting software. They refuse to just take the damn thing back and fix it. I won't be buying an HP laptop again. BTW I have another HP whose hard drive is dead at about a year old.
