My old MacBook Pro took a bath years ago. After setting in a big Zip-Lock bag, full of rice, for over a year, it came on and worked! Now the trackpad won't "click". As a workaround I used a remote wireless mouse with no problem. Now it won't sync with the computer so I have no way to "click". The trackpad will move the curser around but nothing else. Is there a way to activate the "click" with the keyboard? I haven't tried to use a plug in mouse yet.

I'd plugin any old usb mouse at least till i set up mouse keys... You should be able to go via menus
To quickly turn Mouse Keys on or off, press Option-Command-F5, then select or deselect the Enable Mouse Keys checkbox. You can also select or deselect the checkbox in the Mouse & Trackpad pane of Accessibility preferences.
To open the pane, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Mouse & Trackpad.
