Regain precise multi-touch gestures and reliable Force Touch feedback backed by our solid 6-month warranty.
A malfunctioning MacBook trackpad is frequently caused by subtle physical or environmental issues beneath the unibody casing. Minor liquid spills near the edges often seep into internal components, corroding delicate flex cables or the underlying touch controller. Another common culprit is a swollen battery directly beneath the trackpad, which exerts upward physical pressure and prevents the Force Touch haptic sensors from registering clicks properly. Furthermore, accidental drops, heavy daily tapping, or hairline cracks on the glass surface can disrupt capacitive tracking. Over time, these hardware stresses lead to erratic cursor movements, ghost clicks, or a completely dead touchpad that impairs your productivity.
When you bring your MacBook to our Saint-Léonard repair bench, our technicians conduct a comprehensive inspection to pinpoint whether the trackpad, flex cable, or battery is at fault. We safely open the chassis following strict hardware protocols, disconnect the power source, and gently detach the damaged assembly without stressing surrounding components. We then mount an authentic-grade replacement trackpad, ensuring precise alignment with the aluminum top case. Finally, we meticulously calibrate the Force Touch engine, verify multi-touch gesture responsiveness, and test cursor tracking across macOS to confirm flawless functionality before returning the laptop directly into your hands.
