Replace lower UltraNav/mouse buttons

[Norway Pad]

A quick question:

The lower left UltraNav/mouse button on the T60 has sort of lost it's "feel". It doesn't give characteristic click and feedback when it activates, it just goes to the bottom and activate somewhere along the way. Probably worn out or gotten a bad knock from the previous owner.

No big problem, as I mostly use the TrackPoint and the upper buttons when it's not docked. But if these buttons can be replaced separately without having to replace the entire palm rest, I might look into it. (Yes, I know I am lazy for not taking the palm rest off to find this out my self. )

EDIT: No, no, no. This went in the wrong forum. I had a T43 for too long.. Can some nice moderator please move the post? [Done! Ray]

Thanks! The solution was posted only a couple of days ago. Seems like I will be buying a new $11.87 unit from eBay.

- it might just be at bit of cleaning neccesary!

I read the thread, but my button works, and makes perfectly contact. It's just loose, and has sort of lost it's tension. Exactly the way I have experienced such buttons to get when you apply way too much pressure or hit them hard. The palmrest needs to come off anyway, so for only $12 I might as well give the T60 a brand new unused touchpad and new buttons. But thanks for the suggestion!
