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. |

Dudes so, I'm goign to the tech people in 30 mins. My Macbook is the 2.16ghz previous model, but the only ones they sell in the previous models are 2.00 ghz. They don't offer the .16 extra ghz option or I guess they just don't use it anymore, or something. The thing closest to mine without downgrading is one of the new ones lawl. Hopefully since it's (hopefully) a hardware issue and the CD drive isn't accepting my leopard CD, they'll replace it. Unlikely as it is, hopefully I can pick me up a new macbook out of this. looooool

Tell them you believe there is a short circut in the motherboard that's causing different components to go bad over time. Then they'll replace it for sure. |
