Reason for MacBook Pro frozen thumb bar??

Apple just repaired my 1yr-old MacBook Pro, without explanation. The thumb bar had become increasingly hard to press, and finally was frozen in the down position. Couldn't even use an external mouse as the thumb bar over-road it. I'm happy with the repair and very curious whether others have experienced this and what the cause is. I''m not aware of any errant liquids or substances that would have caused it.

I don't see it listed here:

So it's probably just a random hardware failure..

It sounds as if the tech that repaired you Mac put the top of MacBook Pro on just a little off center or set the keyboard top it just a little off center. Call them A.S.AP or take back to the people who repaired it. It is important you do it quickly.
