Try the mouse in a different computer.
If it works, it's the "settings" for the mouse in your copy of Windows that have changed, i.e., pushing the LEFT mouse button is *NOT* "associated" with any specific "action".

Or, shutdown your computer.
Disconnect the mouse from the computer.
Flip the mouse over.
Look for any screws holding the mouse together.
If you find some, undo the screws, and split the mouse apart.
Inspect the mechanism that "clicks" when you push the LEFT mouse-button.
Remove any dirt/dust.
Reassemble the mouse.
Reconnect it to your computer.
Try it.

If it still does not work, try the mouse in a different computer.
If it still does not work, responsibly recycle it, and buy a new mouse.

    Thank you for this already. I should have been more accurate. It is not an external mouse but the left button of the mouse pad not working, not responding, while the left button mouse pad in the config panel is selected on "click". Any more advise? Thanks

    Unless you have a lot of experience in disassembling and repairing notebook computers, it's time to take the computer to a qualified technician, for professional trouble-shooting, replacement of the touch-pad, and disassembly/reassembly/testing.

    Or, buy a small USB-mouse, and use it instead of the touch-pad.

    Or, if you never use the "right-click" action, configure that action to be associated with the RIGHT mouse-button on the keypad (instead of the LEFT mouse-button), and retrain yourself to push the RIGHT button.

Hi sheki_68,

If you have disabled the Scrolling Feature of the Touchpad, you will need to re-enable for the function to work correctly. You can enable the Touchpad Setting from the Control Panel, Mouse Options.
  1. Click the Start button and then click Control Panel .
  2. In the Control Panel window, click Hardware and Sound .
  3. In the Hardware and Sound window, click Mouse .
  4. In the Mouse Properties window, click the Function tab.
  5. To enable the Scroll function, click to check the box next to Use Scroll Function.
  6. Click the OK button and then close the Hardware and Sound window.
This should re-enable the Scrolling Feature of the Touchpad. If the Function is not available in the Mouse Properties window, you may need to re-install the Touchpad Driver in the Computer to fix it.

Good Luck!

Hope this helps.

Please post back if you require further assistance.

Thanks for using FixYa.

How can i take this mouse appart? My mouse button seems to be broken and i want to fix it. I bought this mouse and it was very good, and like a month later, i couldn't click the left mouse button anymore...
Logitech generally locates the screws underneath the teflon skid pads. and 1 in the middle of the label, check for the label screw by using your fingernail rubbed against the sticker until you locate it it may be perforated.

My laptop left mouse button has stopped working
Common hardware problem. The correct solution is a replacement tracker pad and mouse, however you may be able to get the problem fixed by cleaning under the pad. Either way it requires taking the laptop apart.

My left mouse button on sony vaio vng-nw150j isn't working
Generally, if a mouse button quits working, it requires the replacement of the touchpad assembly.
Boot to the safe mode, see if the button works there, if it doesn't, then it is a failure of the switch in the button

Sony vaio touch pad not working.
My Vaio touchpad started behaving strange. I could move the curser, but no response on left or right click or double tap. Also found that in any search field or user name fields, the computer would just type endless 9's. My wireless mouse could operate the left and right click buttons, but not move the curser. A suggestion to get the mousepad operating again was to touch any key on the keyboard. This allowed it to function again. Final solution was to remove the battery, then hold down the start key for about a minute, reinsert the battery and start it up. It seems to have resolved the problem. I have a 3 month only laptop with Windows 7 already installed. Hope this helps.
