FIX Apple Trackpad not turning on from corroded battery (NO POWER FIX) fixed with foil trick

Fixing apple trackpad not turning on due to corroded battery by cleaning the contact points putting some foils to make it work like brand new :)

[@denniss599]

hey i know this video is 3 years old.....BUT it saved me from spending money to buy a new trackpad - your instructions were clear and what you showed me (us) worked....thank you - happy day

[@DanielLe-nw9vp]

Just saved me some money as well. I ended up just fixing a bit of foil on the tip of the battery before inserting and it worked like a charm. thank you for this!

[@budsodalsky]

I put mine on the + side, it worked! It must be that the little itty bitty + tab over time must get bent or something, because I cleaned it and got all the crud out, even got the spring working again, but nothing worked but the aluminum foil on the bottom + side - did worked !

Apple engineering at it's best, had so many problems with apple products over the years.

[@Goldenwhatever]

I can't believe this worked. You are awesome!

[@deanmills1172]

I was very skeptical, but tried this anyway, and... it actually worked! Thank you!

[@kaitmania]

You saved my 10 year old trackpad :) Thank you so much! My tip is that putting the foil on '-' under the cab, not on the '+' deep inside.

[@jacysmom]

I used foil from a candy kiss, I just folded it whole, not ripping it to bits. It worked perfectly! Thank you so much for posting this!!!

[@WeMuckAround]

You, sir, are a magician! I tried cleaning the life out of the contact points but this fixed it finally!

[@iveyx001]

you are a genius!! it took me several times to get it to work!!! I literally took it out of the trash can and tried it one more time.

[@MarkKimUSA]

Awesome to hear that it worked for you....for few people that it didn't work, you just gotta try it until the foil sits just right on the contact point to make this method work. Thank you for the feedback ~

[@kamarulhafizann]

Thank you sir! You just save me a ton of money !

[@n.r.2258]

That was a hell of a wonderful tip and saved me my trackpad too ! I am really appreciated.

[@koffiadognon9405]

Genius!!!
I tried it works
I had the same problem for my apple keyboard. For weeks I couldn't use it. I watched this video I tried and it works.
Thank you

[@MarkKimUSA]

Good to hear :)

[@koffiadognon9405]

Well done!!

[@ThommiesTube]

My trackpad is working again ! In my case dropping foil at the bottom didn't work, but with some foil just under the battery screw cap cover it went on after 3 years! Don't make contact with the sides. Thanks for foil idea!

[@JoWardle]

Brilliant advice thank you I fixed my trackpad :) I just needed to clean the contacts so glad I didn't throw it out!

[@jongrand]

Worked for me too! Thanks!

[@BigWhisky27]

[@MarkKimUSA]

[@matchapurin]

[@jamaicafox]

Definitely an unexpected trick, but it definitely worked. Thank you very much for your video.

[@marekgitarzysta5193]

Just wanna say thank you - after a few tries it worked!

[@marekgitarzysta5193]

But getting the batteries out was a nightmare

[@MrAlexander1969]

Thank you Mark, you saved my day

[@gr8ride411]

I have a swollen battery stuck in the trackpad and trying to determine the safest way to remove. Any suggestions? 👍🏽

[@__prtcl]

thanks! I happened to have a chipstick and tshirt and this worked. didn’t need the foil part but thanks for sharing

[@martingerup]

It took me a little while before it worked. You have to find the right depth of the foil, not to thick, not to thin. And it must not touch any metal outside the contact point of the battery. I placed the tiny foil on the top (at the battery compartment cover,) as it gave me more control.

[@lucidusconsulting4581]

THANK YOU - the foli worked for me to. I nearly bought a new one but no need now!!

[@apluspc]
