Common MacBook Trackpad Problems We Fix
We know that trackpad problems can be a bit of a headache, but don’t worry, we’ve dealt with just about every issue out there. If you’re running into any of these problems, we’re here for you:
- Trackpad won’t click or feels stuck.
- Cursor is jumping around or lagging
- Trackpad isn’t responding at all.
- Multi-touch gestures are acting all weird
- Trackpad got messed up from water damage or is swollen
- Cursor is moving strangely or you’re getting unexpected clicks.
If you’re dealing with a hardware problem, like a swollen battery causing some trouble with the trackpad, or maybe it’s a software glitch, our techs will get to the bottom of it and fix it for you in no time.
What Causes MacBook Trackpad Issues?
There isn’t just one answer for this, but here are a few reasons why your trackpad might suddenly stop working:
- Swollen battery: If the battery is swollen, it can push against the bottom of the trackpad and cause issues.
- Liquid spills: If you happen to spill something on it, that can really screw up the inside and make the trackpad stop working.
- Wear and tear: After years of use, the little parts under the trackpad can break down and stop functioning.
- Software glitches: Sometimes, after a system update or if the settings get messed up, the trackpad might not respond.
- Connection problems: If the trackpad cables are loose or damaged, it can lead to random failures or it might not work at all.
We take a close look at the trackpad and the insides to figure out if it just needs a repair or a full replacement.
Repair or Replace? We’ll Let You Know
Not every problem with a trackpad means you need to get a new one. Often, a good clean, changing the battery, or just reconnecting something inside can fix the issue. But if a replacement is the only way to go, we’ll make sure to use original Apple parts. That way, you’ll still get the same feel and quality as your original device.
We work on all MacBook models, including:
- MacBook Pro (Intel & M1/M2/M3)
