What Causes Trackpad Failures?
Swollen battery (most common): the trackpad sits directly above the battery. When batteries swell, they push the trackpad upward — making clicks impossible and damaging trackpad mechanisms. Fix: battery replacement + often trackpad replacement if damaged.
Liquid damage: spills affect the trackpad ribbon cable connector or PCB. Fix: cleanup + often trackpad replacement if PCB corroded.
Worn click mechanism: older MacBooks (pre-Force Touch) had physical click mechanisms that wore out. Fix: trackpad assembly replacement.
Cable damage: trackpad ribbon cable can fray, tear, or disconnect — especially after improper repair attempts. Fix: cable replacement (sometimes) or full trackpad assembly.
Logic board trackpad controller (rare): the controller IC on the logic board can fail. Fix: chip-level repair.
⚠️ If your trackpad is bulging upward, your battery is swelling underneath. Stop using immediately and bring in for inspection. Swollen batteries are a fire risk.
