For a while now, the complete right side of my trackpad needs to be clicked for around 30 minutes before any clicks are responsive. You can hear the noise difference from the left side and right side. Any ideas? Genius Bar?
That's as best as I can describe it. Sorry.

There is a "tensioning screw" that can be adjusted which might fix the issue. It requires a special tri-lobe screwdriver that only apple has access to. (AFAIK) If it can't be adjusted it will need to be replaced. (Not a very fun repair.)
So yeah, Genius Bar.

Back from the Apple Store. It turned out to be the screw. Tightened and all is well. Thanks!

Yay! Wonder what they would charge for something simple like that if it was out of warranty.

Yes. The unibody trackpads are the only ones with tensioning screws. Also, despite the tri-wing design, the screw is easily adjusted with a regular flat blade.
