MacBook Pro 15-inch / 16-inch Trackpad

Trackpads for the MacBook Pro 15-inch/16-inch

A trackpad that has stopped clicking evenly is usually being pushed up from underneath by a swelling battery rather than failing itself. On a MacBook Pro 15-inch/16-inch that is worth checking before ordering, because the cell is the part that needs replacing.

Buying in New Zealand

Everything here is held in New Zealand rather than ordered in per sale, so a repair booked in the morning is not waiting on offshore freight. Everything else for this range is under MacBook Pro 15-inch/16-inch Spare Parts. Fitting can be booked through the repairs service.

Orders placed before the 2pm cut-off dispatch the same working day and reach most New Zealand addresses overnight.

Questions answered

The click feels uneven. Is the trackpad faulty?

Check the battery first. A swelling cell underneath lifts the trackpad and produces exactly that symptom.

Does it need calibrating after fitting?

The click mechanism is adjustable on most models and usually needs setting once the new unit is in.
