sony vaio vpcf13z8e problem with touchpad

Hello guys it is my first topic here and i want to thank you all for your help in advance. Ihave a problem with my sony vaio vpcf13z8e the keys in my pad don't seem to work properly i push them and they do nothing most of the times right click is not working permanently. I thought that i had some problem at my settings at vaio center but everything seems normal. Then i thought i had a problem with my driver so i uninstalled it and rebootaed it then installed again as a ps/2 mouse. The problem now is that both right and left button works as right whatever the settings. I installed the drivers from the official website and i have again the same problem as before right button is not working and left is working frequently. Do you have any ideas about the issue i assume it is a software problem and not hardware am i wrong?

Hi vagos13 and welcome.

Because of the intermittent nature of the problem, my guess is that it is indeed a hardware problem caused by poor contacts within the touchpad.

You seem to have done all the troubleshooting steps for a software solution.

Is your Vaio still within warranty?

No i think that my warranty just expired the previous month. I wished that i wouldn't have to open it to fix (althought i study as an electrical engineer i hate to deal with hardware problems). Maybe you are aware of an easy way to check if this is the problem? Or if i can fix it alone?
