"Mine did not stop working exactly, but it did start to wobble and miss click a bit. After I did my battery replacement, the touchpad fixed itself. It didn’t wobble anymore and didn’t miss click. I have 2 theories about it:

1. My original battery was swollen, which I never noticed till I replaced it. This could’ve put pressure on the touchpad and messed with it.

2. There was 1 very small component that dropped out of the laptop when I was working on it. No idea what it was, but that might also have messed things up.

Not exactly your issue, but it might help you out."

My best guess is that the buttons are worn out. Especially if you use them often and don't use an external USB mouse. I've seen this issue on several laptops. If you have to press harder than normal to get them to work, then they are worn out.
