This is a common occurance on an older machine. For a right-handed user, the left mouse button gets FAR more use than the right one. At least since it's on the UltraNav Pad instead of the TrackPoint buttons, you can just buy a replacement pad and switch it yourself. I bought 2 off of eBay for about $6 ea (new) with about that much for shipping. It's 4 screw operation once the bezel is off of the machine. Very quick and easy to do.
