Inspiron 5559 touchpad buttons not working
I'm using a dell inspiron i5 5559 laptop. My touchpad buttons stopped working all of a sudden. The touchpad works fine but only the left and right click buttons or not working.I searched many online forums and tried numerous methods but none of them worked. I updated the drivers and tried but its in vain. My OS is Windows 10.Can anyone suggest what should I do about this? Thanks in advance

Hi june7,
Thanks for posting. Apologies that your system is not performing as expected.
If you haven't already done so, please try performing a systems diagnostics by either pressing F12 at startup or by running Dell Support Assist.

I have this very same problem. I searched the internet for hours. Finally, I found someone who said the battery will swell and won't allow the buttons to work properly. I took my back cover off and sure enough, the battery is swollen. I ordered a new battery today and expect the problem will be resolved. It is a lot easier to find now by searching swollen dell battery and touchpad button issue. I didn't realize that swollen batteries are 1) such a problem and 2) potentially dangerous. Best of luck.
