I have the same laptop (M-7315u) and had the exsct same problem. The problem was that the plastic left mouse button was caught under the lip of the rest. I had to get a thin bladed knife and recenter the left mouse button with a sort of a prying motion. If that does't work you can gently pry the button out, but you still have to center the button first, pry out completely out, then put it back in. Once the plastic button is out, you will see how it works. Hopefull the tiny stem on the underneath of the button isn't broken, but it is like that it is. Mine was and I epoxied it back.
