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. |

I disabled the trackpad, separate from the clicker, and it stopped. Option button five times + disable track pad when disabling the mouse clicking part does the trick. Now, for some reason, it won't accept my f*cking leopard CD. It tries to boot off it several times before ejecting it. I backed up everything so I'm just going to drop it off at the Mac store and say fix it.

It possible the hardware in the track pad is broken. |
