My mouse has been "sticking" for a month. I figured I needed a new mouse (never got around to buying a new one, though). I use a separate keyboard, mouse and monitor with the laptop. Then today I used the trackpad for the first time and had the same problem with the trackpad as I did with the mouse. I thought my laptop was a goner. Thankfully your post was one of the first links that came up when I searched. Sure enough, my battery was bulging. Thank you! Thank you!! My mouse has been “sticking” for a month.

Luckily I only spent an hour surfing to find this solution but I was starting to panic. I was noticing the battery was getting hot, but not the bulging. Thanks! Wow thanks.

My touchpad had been doing this for months! I was told that I'd need some expensive hardware fix, and so had been limping by with a USB mouse. But the issue persisted if I wanted to actually use my laptop on, say, my LAP because the touchpad was still so sensitive. Your fix does the job entirely. I am almost having trouble remembering what it's like having a usable touchpad! I'm sure it will come back to me. Thanks a million. Holy crow! My touchpad had been doing this for months!

(Have given my Mac to mom, who was having the same problem). They removed teh battery an it works now.Related question in terms of your experience: do you think that battery may have gotten "damaged" due to heat in India? I plan to travel there and stay for several months and was wondering.... Thanks, Manu J.

I was sure there was a wiring problem, or the button had somehow collapsed, and I've been fiddling with it, and trying to pull it back up for weeks. It really was the battery all along! Thanks a lot!
