Default Touchpad Sticks

I have been finding that the left button (The one used to click, obviously) on the touchpad of my HP Pavilion ze5170 seems to often stick. I have to push it repeatedly or with excessive force to use it. Any ideas on how to prevent the button from sticking?

Thanks,
John

i find that spraying some solvent cleaner (like the stuff used on electronics) is a good bet... not loads though
