[Thinkpad] T41 Pointer Button Follow Up

Thanks for the advice given here... turns out I was too impatient to wait for
anything so I just took the entire touchpad completely apart. There are two
rubber nipples responsible for the lifting motion... strange design if I do say
so myself. Couldn't manage to do anything to make the broken one work... so on
a lark, I swapped left for right, and in that configuration they work fine.

So, if anyone has the same problem, they may give that a go vs. buying the new
part... it's quite the waste of parts anyway to replace so much for so
little... at the least, you should be able to just order the nipples assuming
nothing else is broken.
