TOPIC
The trackpad button on my computer it does not respond.
DISCUSSION
- It is possible that the issue may be a peripheral that has been attached to the computer. Disconnect any USB or ADB devices such as mice, keyboards, or joysticks and see if the issue still persists. If this resolves the issue then it could be an old version of the software that supports this peripheral, or it could be a hardware issue or incompatibility. You should refer to the vendor of the peripheral for driver updates or service for the product.
- This could be a hardware issue with the trackpad button itself. If you need to use the computer until you can have it serviced, you may, depending on the PowerBook model you own, enable the Clicking feature in the Trackpad control panel.
There are a number of possible causes for this issue which could affect either a PowerBook or iBook computer.
With this feature enabled you will be able to tap on the Trackpad to duplicate the same action as clicking on the Trackpad button.

Note: Not all PowerBook models support the Clicking feature in the Trackpad control panel. On those that do not, the "Use Trackpad for" section will not be displayed in the Trackpad control panel.
