Trackpad click not detected?

My 13" MacBook Pro worked fine for a month. Now the trackpad doesn't detect clicks when it it depressed normally. It still detects taps but whenever I want to drag by depressing the pad, it usually fails.

The trackpad will detect a click or drag if I press very hard but a normal click depression, complete with click noise, isn't detected.

I'm in a rural part of Africa for a while and while my computer in only a few months old, chances are I won't be able to get it into a shop to be fixed or replaced.

Any help? Similar situations? It it possible to remove the trackpad from the upper case? I didn't see instructions for that here but I may have missed them.

I appreciate any help!
