I have my mouse disassembled and all the parts in one space but when I plugged it in and clicked the mouse button (the button itself not when it was assembled) and it didn't work. How can I fix this?
Sorry for the bad image quality. I took it on my laptop.
Is this a good question?

Hi Snake,
I'm assuming you tried the same test while it's disassembled on the other two buttons and they work correctly, right?
That would pretty much point to the switch itself having given up after years of use. If you're comfortable with a little bit of soldering, it should be eminently possible to replace that broken switch.
A quick search didn't bring up any switches that specifically stated they were for your mouse, but it does appear those switches are fairly standardized. You'll have to verify the dimensions and position of the three pins on the bottom of the switch, but these from Amazon look like they may work.
Here's the link to that particular part, although I'm sure a more thorough internet search would probably turn up plenty more.

Good luck; let us know how it goes.

I'm not sure you're going to get an answer, as I'm sure most would agree it's just better to buy a new mouse.

Sweet! thanks for letting me know. I was seeing if I could fix it. I have an alternative mouse I use normally and was checking if I could fix this mouse.
