Trackpad Replacement
Trackpad repairs and replacements for click or tracking issues.
About This Service
The Force Touch trackpad in modern MacBooks is a marvel of engineering, providing haptic feedback that simulates a physical click. When it malfunctions, it can make your MacBook frustrating or impossible to use. Our trackpad replacement service addresses all trackpad issues including unresponsive areas, ghost clicking (clicking by itself), physical damage, and Force Touch failures. We replace the trackpad with a genuine or high-quality equivalent part and perform full calibration to ensure all gestures and click pressures work correctly. If your trackpad feels raised in the centre, this may indicate a swollen battery, which we will also inspect and replace if needed.
If your trackpad feels raised in the centre, this often indicates a swollen battery pushing against it from underneath. We will inspect for this during repair and advise if battery replacement is also needed. Force Touch trackpads require precise calibration to function correctly, which we perform as part of every replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my MacBook trackpad clicking by itself?
Ghost clicking is often caused by a swollen battery pushing against the trackpad, a failing trackpad sensor, or physical damage. We diagnose the exact cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
Can Force Touch be repaired or does the trackpad need replacing?
Force Touch issues usually require trackpad replacement as the haptic engine and sensors are integrated into the trackpad assembly. We cannot repair individual Force Touch components.
How long does a MacBook trackpad replacement take?
Trackpad replacements typically take 2-3 working days. We perform extensive testing of all gestures and click pressures before returning your MacBook.
Will I lose any gestures after trackpad replacement?
No, all multi-touch gestures and Force Touch functionality are fully restored after trackpad replacement. We test every gesture during our quality assurance process.
