Maybe gestures stopped working. Maybe the trackpad moves the pointer but <strong data-start=\"245\" data-end=\"260\">won't click<\/strong>. Or perhaps it feels unusually stiff, raised, or completely dead.\u00a0Before assuming the trackpad itself needs to be replaced, there's something important to understand:<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"ot4zh7\" data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"492\">A MacBook trackpad problem isn't always a trackpad problem.<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"494\" data-end=\"664\">The cause could be software, settings, an internal connection, liquid damage, physical damage\u2014or even a <strong data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"663\">swollen battery pressing against the trackpad from underneath<\/strong>.\u00a0Some causes are simple.

Understand How Modern MacBook Trackpads \u201cClick\u201d<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2478\" data-end=\"2542\">Many modern MacBook models use Apple's <strong data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2541\">Force Touch trackpad<\/strong>. The clicking sensation isn't simply the movement of a traditional mechanical button. The system uses pressure sensing and haptic feedback to create the feeling of a click. That creates an interesting symptom -\u00a0<strong>A powered-off MacBook trackpad may feel very different.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2815\" data-end=\"2954\">If the Mac has no power, a completely depleted battery, or another power-related problem, the trackpad may appear to have \u201clost its click.\u201d\u00a0That doesn't automatically mean the trackpad itself has failed.\u00a0If your MacBook also won't turn on or charge, investigate the power problem before assuming you need a trackpad.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"94sx9t\" data-start=\"3140\" data-end=\"3166\">5. Try an External Mouse<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3227\">If you have a USB or Bluetooth mouse available, connect it.\u00a0If the external mouse works normally while the built-in trackpad doesn't, you've learned something useful.\u00a0You can also use the external mouse temporarily to:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3390\" data-end=\"3499\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1r4q0y3\" data-start=\"3390\" data-end=\"3406\">Check settings<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1lhs51f\" data-start=\"3407\" data-end=\"3420\">Run updates<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1tf1xbt\" data-start=\"3421\" data-end=\"3435\">Access files<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1veyksj\" data-start=\"3436\" data-end=\"3453\">Create a backup<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"12bb1i1\" data-start=\"3454\" data-end=\"3499\">Continue working until the Mac is inspected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3501\" data-end=\"3603\">It doesn't tell you exactly which internal component has failed, but it helps narrow down the problem.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1dxwjr2\" data-start=\"3610\" data-end=\"3669\">6. What if the Cursor Moves but the Trackpad Won't Click?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3671\" data-end=\"3696\">This is a common symptom.\u00a0Possible causes include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3724\" data-end=\"3884\">\n<li data-section-id=\"k0c7cn\" data-start=\"3724\" data-end=\"3743\">Trackpad settings<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"10rlu69\" data-start=\"3744\" data-end=\"3770\">Haptic\/Force Touch issue<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"284u7g\" data-start=\"3771\" data-end=\"3789\">Software problem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"lg7n2k\" data-start=\"3790\" data-end=\"3817\">Trackpad hardware failure<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1p8va36\" data-start=\"3818\" data-end=\"3847\">Internal connection problem<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1t0hp86\" data-start=\"3848\" data-end=\"3865\">Physical damage<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1sx0rwk\" data-start=\"3866\" data-end=\"3884\">Battery swelling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3886\" data-end=\"3927\">That last one deserves special attention.\u00a0If the trackpad suddenly becomes unusually difficult to click, <strong data-start=\"3992\" data-end=\"4041\">look at the physical condition of the MacBook<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1nohhq\" data-start=\"4049\" data-end=\"4081\">7. Check for a Swollen Battery<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"4083\" data-end=\"4181\">This is one of the most important things to check when a MacBook trackpad stops clicking normally.\u00a0The battery sits inside the MacBook beneath other components.\u00a0As a lithium-ion battery deteriorates, it can sometimes swell.\u00a0That expansion can place pressure on the trackpad and surrounding enclosure.\u00a0Possible warning signs include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"4421\" data-end=\"4660\">\n<li data-section-id=\"4bt4id\" data-start=\"4421\" data-end=\"4459\">Trackpad suddenly difficult to click<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"l4ra66\" data-start=\"4460\" data-end=\"4485\">Trackpad appears raised<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"i82chb\" data-start=\"4486\" data-end=\"4507\">Bottom case bulging<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"ho8k95\" data-start=\"4508\" data-end=\"4553\">MacBook rocks when placed on a flat surface<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1bz6h32\" data-start=\"4554\" data-end=\"4587\">Case separating along the edges<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1fxa5qa\" data-start=\"4588\" data-end=\"4623\">Keyboard or trackpad area lifting<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1g66gg7\" data-start=\"4624\" data-end=\"4660\">MacBook no longer closing normally<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"4662\" data-end=\"4691\"><strong>If you notice these symptoms stop using the MacBook and have it inspected<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1u7rx3a\" data-start=\"4748\" data-end=\"4795\">8.

Could Dirt Cause a MacBook Trackpad Problem?<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5862\" data-end=\"5872\">Sometimes.\u00a0Dirt, residue, or contamination around the edges of the trackpad can interfere with normal operation.\u00a0You can gently clean the external surface with an appropriate soft cloth.\u00a0But avoid:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"6064\" data-end=\"6252\">\n<li data-section-id=\"srerta\" data-start=\"6064\" data-end=\"6094\">Pouring cleaner onto the Mac<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"q7taa4\" data-start=\"6095\" data-end=\"6139\">Spraying liquid directly onto the trackpad<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1eayecc\" data-start=\"6140\" data-end=\"6174\">Forcing objects around the edges<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1k5rg39\" data-start=\"6175\" data-end=\"6199\">Prying up the trackpad<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"dtwkyo\" data-start=\"6200\" data-end=\"6252\">Flooding the gap with alcohol or cleaning solution<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"6254\" data-end=\"6360\">If something is physically trapped inside the mechanism, professional inspection is safer than forcing it.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"d972o1\" data-start=\"6367\" data-end=\"6412\">11.

A swollen battery can place pressure on surrounding components and may cause the trackpad or enclosure to become raised or difficult to operate. If you suspect swelling, stop using the Mac and have it inspected.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"5gc5gu\" data-start=\"16665\" data-end=\"16740\">Why does my MacBook trackpad feel different when the Mac is turned off?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"16742\" data-end=\"16978\">Modern Force Touch trackpads use haptic feedback to simulate the clicking sensation. Without power, the trackpad can feel different. A lack of click by itself while the Mac is powered off doesn't necessarily mean the trackpad is broken.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"16837dw\" data-start=\"16980\" data-end=\"17047\">Why did my keyboard and trackpad stop working at the same time?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"17049\" data-end=\"17224\">Simultaneous failure can point toward an internal connection, hardware, liquid, or other system issue rather than two unrelated failures. Professional diagnosis may be needed.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"q9zcvr\" data-start=\"17226\" data-end=\"17281\">Can liquid damage cause a MacBook trackpad to fail?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"17283\" data-end=\"17446\">Yes. Liquid entering a MacBook can affect the trackpad, connectors, keyboard, battery, logic board, and other components. Problems may appear immediately or later.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"15zwroq\" data-start=\"17448\" data-end=\"17517\">Should I replace my MacBook because the trackpad stopped working?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"17519\" data-end=\"17668\">Not automatically. If the MacBook otherwise meets your needs, repairing the actual cause may be far more sensible than replacing the entire computer.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"14k7g8o\" data-start=\"17670\" data-end=\"17729\">Can Computer Concepts repair MacBook trackpad problems?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"17731\" data-end=\"17907\">Yes. As an Apple Authorized Service Provider, Computer Concepts can diagnose the issue and determine available Apple warranty, AppleCare+, and out-of-warranty service options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You open your MacBook and suddenly the trackpad doesn&#8217;t feel right.\u00a0Maybe the cursor won&#8217;t move.
