Trackpad button stuck, replacement shows same symptoms..
I recently acquired a Macbook Pro 13" Late 2011 that was supposed killed by a spilled soda. I got it working again, and it works fine, except that the trackpad's left button seems to be stuck. I tried replacing it, but the new ones shows the same symptoms. I did have some difficulty installing the new one; at one point, I dropped in in a way that left it hanging from its cable with the connector stuck in the small routing slot, but other than that, the procedure went smoothly. Could a damaged cable cause these behaviors, or is there something else at play?
Is this a good question?

That Torx screw was indeed the problem. I was following a different guide without those instructions, and I suspect the screw was overtightened by the person who tore it down for the previous owner.
