Left clicking on my trackpad works intermittently. It works sometimes and it doesnt during other times. In addition to this, when left clicking doesnt work, the entire trackpad feels sluggish. I'm getting by thanks to a usb mouse but this is not normal. I tried reinstalling the driver and updating windows but neither has fixed my issue. Has anyone else experienced this? To me, this looks like a hardware issue but I want to be sure before I take it to the service center.
Edit: Right clicking on the touchpad works as expected
