Bottom right hand corner of trackpad is stuck down.

Trackpad still works, can click in other areas but the bottom right hand corner of the trackpad is always below the lip of the case. Gestures also work, so I don’t believe the glass is broken. Any ideas? It’s driving me nuts. I’ve tried cleaning around the corner with a small nylon brush, no luck.

If you do decide to take the computer apart (which would appear to be most of the base unit),

You might want to pay special attention to the comments which have been added by other participants in the trackpad replacement tutorial at: MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2012 Trackpad Replacement

Even if you don't replace it you need to get to the backside of the unit to clean the edge of the trackpad and the uppercase as well as the rest tabs on the bottom edge where the trackpad sits. You likely have some junk blocking it from sitting properly in the uppercase.

You might try some computer duster, one that includes a solvent. If that doesn't work you will have to open the case and see if anything is jamming it from the inside.

Don't use that! You'll end up making more of a mess!

Computer duster evaporates, there’s no harmful residue left behind. If there is indeed some gunk in the pad, it would break it up. If there’s an issue with the pad then yes it will need repair or replacement, but it absolutely won’t hurt to try computer duster.

Can'ed air does leave a film. But that's not the worry.

There are other aerosol materials that could make a mess (have oil or solvents). Sadly, the speed of the evaporation of the can'ed air would be too quick and not have the needed solvent action to do much good.

This needs some elbow grease to clean and it needs to be on the direct parts, spray cleaners are just not warranted.
