Left Click is Double Clicking.
Hello,
I have a Dell Inspiron Model# N5040.
I have a problem with double clicking. (assume that all clicking is the left click) It is most apparent on the internet, when I hit the back button once, I go back two pages. Its annoying, but now i'm having trouble highlighting, and other important tasks. I do know about keyboard alternatives, but the mouse is just more convenient.
This problem started soon after my laptop survived having orange juice spilled onto it.
I have done my own research, and most forums state a software problem, but I am sure that I have a mechanical problem. I noticed that there is an "upstroke" and a "downstroke" to my click. When I click, that is the downstroke, the mouse performs as it's supposed to; but when I lift my finger, there is a second click that I did not intend, the upstroke. I've tested this on button clicking games on my laptop, and on other computers.
I suppose that my laptop is dirty and I need to clean it, but I don't know how to. Could someone send me some instructions, with pics, or a manual? That would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
MookieZ

And this is the part you'll most likely need to replace.
