Trackpads - fantastic things, that is until they go wrong. Apple trackpads are pretty well made, and don't normally break on their own, but anything can fail. And trackpads are also vulnerable to accidents, and to batteries expanding beneath them. Here at MacUpgrades we have a range of fixed price replacement services for your laptop's trackpad.
Now Available: 13 Macbook Pro Unibody Trackpad Repair Service!
In most modern Apple laptops the trackpad is replaceable (even if Apple says not!) albeit with a fair amount of effort in some cases. In a lot of the Retina machines (2012-2015) Apple decided to glue the battery over the top, making replacement tricky but not impossible. Here we go through the most common causes of MacBook trackpad breakage, and list our fixed price services to replace them. If yours is not listed we can probably still do it, but there may be availability or technical challenges. Contact us for a price.
The way that Apple deals with broken trackpads in Retina MacBook Pro machines with glued in batteries is very different to what we do. In the Apple store, the trackpad is deemed as being part of the Top Case, which can vary in price from 300 - 600 dependent on model. What we do at MacUpgrades is to replace only the trackpad part (by careful removal of the glued in battery, and replacement afterwards) that way not only do you save money, but we save e-waste from the environment and time as well. Most of our repairs are complete within 2 working days (same-day available for some - please contact us).
Here is a list of our fixed price Mac trackpad replacement services. If you are unsure of the Mac model you own, you can look it up via its Serial Number or Model ID. If we don't see a trackpad service for yours listed, please get in touch, we may still be able to help you.
After trying these tactics, you may need professional Mac repair services if your MacBook is still not charging. We will discuss your repair options, costs and the services available on the market, including Apple Stores and independent repair stores.
There are a few options to replace the faulty battery. If your Mac is under warranty, get Apple to replace the battery for free. If your Mac is not under warranty, you can pay Apple Stores and Apple authorised service providers or independent repair stores to replace the battery. You can save some money if you replace the battery yourself. When you order the battery online, quote the battery model instead of the MacBook model to ensure you will get the correct battery for your MacBook. For example, the 15" A1398 MacBook Pro 2012 uses battery model A1417.
The common faults of the MacBook charging circuit are failed power management IC, failed current sensing resistors, and failed reverse-protection transistors. You need a component-level logic board repairer to fix the faulty logic board. Please see our MacBook logic board repair services if you need more detail.

The unibody model debuted in October 2008 in 13- and 15-inch variants, with a 17-inch variant added in January 2009. Called the "unibody" model because its case was machined from a single piece of aluminum, it had a thinner flush display, a redesigned trackpad whose entire surface consisted of a single clickable button, and a redesigned keyboard. Updates brought Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel's Thunderbolt.
The unibody-construction MacBook Pro largely follows the styling of the original aluminum iMac and the MacBook Air and is slightly thinner than its predecessor, albeit wider and deeper due to the widescreen display.[21] The screen is high-gloss, covered by an edge-to-edge reflective glass finish, while an anti-glare matte option is available in the 15- and 17-inch models in which the glass panel is removed.[26] The entire trackpad is usable and acts as a clickable button.[26] The trackpad is also larger than that of the aluminum models, giving more room for scrolling and multi-touch gestures.[26] When the line was updated in April 2010, inertial scrolling was added, making the scrolling experience much like that of the iPhone and iPad.[27][28][29] The keys, which are still backlit, are now identical to those of Apple's now-standard sunken keyboard with separated black keys.[27] The physical screen release latch from the aluminum models is replaced with a magnetic one.
The Retina models also have fewer user-accessible upgrade or replacement options than previous MacBooks. Unlike the unibody MacBook Pros, the memory is soldered onto the logic board and is therefore not upgradable. The solid state drive is not soldered and can be replaced by users, although it has a proprietary connector and form factor.[65] The battery is glued into place; attempts to remove it may destroy the battery and/or trackpad.[66] The entire case uses proprietary pentalobe screws and cannot be disassembled with standard tools. While the battery is glued in, recycling companies have stated that the design is only "mildly inconvenient" and does not hamper the recycling process.[67]
A report by AppleInsider claimed that the updated "Butterfly" keyboard fails twice as often as previous models, often due to particles stuck beneath the keys.[99] Repairs for stuck keys have been estimated to cost more than $700.[100] In May 2018,two class action lawsuits were filed against Apple regarding the keyboard problem; one alleged a "constant threat of nonresponsive keys and accompanying keyboard failure" and accusing Apple of not alerting consumers to the problem.[101][102] In June 2018, Apple announced a Service Program to "service eligible MacBook and MacBook Pro keyboards, free of charge".[103] The 2018 models added a membrane underneath keys to prevent malfunction from dust.[104] As of early 2019, there were reports of problems with the same type of keyboards in the 2018 MacBook Air.[105][106] In May 2019, Apple modified the keyboard for the fourth time and promised that any MacBook keyboard with butterfly switches would be repaired or replaced free of charge for a period of four years after the date of sale.[107]
Hardware problems, on the other hand, need an Apple technician to repair your MacBook. Maybe the delicate ribbon that connects your trackpad to the logic board has disconnected. Or the trackpad itself could be broken. 2ff7e9595c
