my left click doesn't work. EVEN when i touch my touch pad twice to double click it won't either
and then i went to control panel and switched the left function with the right function.
the left clicked worked and did the
functions of the right click but the right click didn't do anything


But then after i restart it it works again!

This always HAPPENS. About 1 hour into using my ACER Aspire E1-522 laptop the left click and the double tap of the touch pad stops working. ARG!Did you  SAY the problem also happens with an EXTERNAL mouse?
No I plug an external mouse in and it works. But the touch mouse pad doesn't work.Can someone please help. Its a big problem for me. I hate aving to carry my external mouse with me when I go out.Did you try re-installing the touchpad drivers from the Acer site for that Model ? ?Hi, I was having the same problem with my new Acer E1-522, the mouse cursor moves around and the right-click works fine, but the left click (or just tapping / double tapping the touchpad) goes off after I've used the laptop for more than 10 minutes.

I have today rolled back the drivers and (fingers crossed) that seems to have fixed it, time will tell...

HTH  maybe the ribbon that connects to the motherbroad is LOOSEN
