Q: Trackpad clicks do not work.

I have a MacBook Pro 17" (late 2011). Recently my left and right trackpad clicks stopped working. Mouse clicks are ok. Other trackpad gestures are also working. I've tried different settings in Trackpad and Accessibility menu but nothing helped. Any ideas on how to fix it?

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

    Could be wear and tear.   Has it been exposed to liquid or damp of any kind? 

     

    If there has been any increase of dust in the air that could contribute; try using a stiff haired paint brush, the type you use for art, and brushing into the edges.   Another possibility is to spray the edges with pressurised air.
