My trackpad has been clicking at random lately. I am not sure if I need to replace the upper case or if it could be another issue that is effecting the trackpad. Any pressure put on the top case will cause a click which is very annoying. The button also seems to get stuck in the down position from time to time.
Is this a good question?

Try taking the battery out and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't then you need a new battery. The battery you currently have in there is most likely swelling and applying pressure to the underside of the trackpad.
Hope this Helps

That was it. I knew it was kinda bulging a bit but didn't put 1 and 1 together. Still under warrantee so new one on the way.
Thanks again.

Hi,
I changed my battery one year ago, after 4 years of good services on a MBP 15.
The new battery lasted 1 year, and now is swelling, while the hard drive I changed at the same time lasted only 2 months (now having 2 ssd's).
It might be the crash in a car while riding my bike. (you should have seen the car and the bike ;) ... the laptop got a nice dent on a corner, the optical drive died and the hard drive (not a ssd) died shortly afterwards.

Is your battery swelling or bulging if you look at it.

It is actually. Slightly bulging from the bottom.
