    So, today i came home from school and i noticed that my touchpad's right mouse clicker has lost the hard clicking sound whenever you push it, the left one still has it but doesnt that mean it is starting to stick (maybe i spilled something that might have seeped into the small openings).
    My laptop is a toshiba satellite A-305 or something if i remember correctly.

    Anyway, is this a problem?

    It's a problem if it no longer works or if it sticks, or if it functions when you don't want it to.

    Not sure about the design of your laptop but you may want to use a small amount of electrical contact cleaner. The non-residue type.

    Be sure to unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery first. Use the skinny nozzle with the cleaner and try to spray a little in the gap on the right.

    Don't over do it though, you wouldn't want to harm the plastic or finish.
