Hey, the right part of my trackpad has started making some obscure clicking noise when I click it, its not the normal noise, but on the other side of my trackpad, it is fine. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it or if I would have to take it to a shop (would they replace it for free under warranty?)

Pop the battery out and see if there's anything stuck under it or warped metal from when they replaced the hard drive. The trackpad button is directly under the battery.

Just done that, nothing there which seems out of place. What do you suggest I do?

If you have a can of compressed air, try blowing it around the trackpad button, there may well be something stuck under there.
