It's happening frequently now, has happened a few times int he past. It'll randomly start clicking when I clearly have not hit the click button. No external mouses/keyboards plugged in, just the power cord. It seemed to happen when I loaded firefox, more specifically flash based websites. I tried Opera and Safari, same problem. Then I'd quit those programs and it would stop. It may or may not have happened without them open, but I don't really notice it if it's ever happened.
Basically, when I have a youtube video on and I try to type something in to search, it ends up clicking like once every second or even more frequently so it'll always leave the box and I can't type, or if I go to the box it highlights everything I'm typing and I'm constantly overwriting it. |

Rofl. Yeah I called up tech support and no surprise not really any help. I'm going to archive/reinstall the OS and if that doesn't work, wipe the entire thing. If that doesn't work, I'll just tell them to replace what's not working since they seem pretty apt with customer support in store.

I know you're pretty good with computers so I figured you had done that already, but no-one had actually mentioned it in the thread so I just threw it out there. I know that this occasionally happens with my IBM laptop because there is a scroll button I often hit by mistake while typing, but I highly doubt this will solve your problem as macs have very few buttons and those that do exist serve and easy-to-understand and specific purpose. Good luck, I guess macs aren't all they're cracked up to be. |
