I followed the instructions and solved the problem with my trackpad! Great video!
Thank you, I put off this project for 5 years and finally got around to fixing it today.
I'm impressed how well this has been made in detail.
This is the best DIY tutorial I have seen to date, step by step process is easy to follow, and duplicate. Thank you.
Thank you!
You are amazing! Thank you so much for making such an easy video to follow. I’m now far more confident than I was in attempting this
very well made video, i like that it had a good step by step tutorial while listing the computers parts identifier, i also liked that when reassembling you didn't just say something along the lines of " now do what you did to take it apart, but backwards" I briefly worked on iPhones replacing certain parts and would look for tutorials for tricky parts that needed heating or something and would hate when i was watching a tutorial and would not get some guidance back to were i started.
Glad that you enjoyed the video. It was a very intentional design to have a follow-a-long reassembly, simply because the order of reassembly operations with Apple products are not always the same as assembly and the angles of reinstalling screws are not always the same as removing them.
Followed exactly this and replaced my trackpad in like 15 minutes, no worries! Only hassle is the screwdriver or bit needed to remove the battery, it's a nr. 2 tri-wing bit
Thanks for the video. It is really helpful. It would also help if you can give a link to buy the proper trackpad. Thanks again!
Wow, very easy to follow and professionally done. Thank you so much. You just saved me $.
Thank you so much I've just changed my trackpad and battery following your guide.
Man this channel is gold. thank you
Now this is how a tutorial video should be. He’s the man!! PERFECT!! , A+ , 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s
Great vid!! Any answer addressing mechanical part not working after replacement? Or recommended trackpad module sources to acquire? Thxxxx much!
I have a 2012 macbook pro and the trackpad cracked in half due to puffy battery. This will help me fix it, I just need a tri-wing screwdriver, replacement trackpad, battery and charger. I want to fix it because there are programs on it my 2021 macbook pro can't run and it has Windows 10 on it which my 2021 macbook can't run without emulators
is it necessary to put in a new battery if you disconnect the old one? can i keep the one i have plugged in while i do this since i don’t want to replace the battery? or will it work to disconnect the one i have and plug it back in?
Mine is just hard to click down I have to press very hard and its annoying since I do a lot of work with click drag maneuvers. Is the solution just a whole replacement or is there a way to "clean under the pad itself? Thanks
Please help how do you get the trackpad to have more spring so it will click properly? I reinstalled and now it is just flat no bounce :(
Very helpful, thanks!
I just bought a Janri replacement trackpad for mine, haven't got it yet, does anyone know if its good quality?

THANK YOU !!!!

@@r1c3xboi clutch man thanks. will keep it on bookmark but for now the trackpad is normal after leaving it a few days idk maybe it just needed to settle after lots of usage and being old
@@JLummin No problem. I haven't received yet but can let you know how it goes after install.
Did you need to use different screwdrivers or just the Phillips 00?
need an answer to this as well
To remove the battery you need a nr. 2 tri-wing bit
👍
Excellent video. I have to kill 2 birds with one stone, replacing battery and a cracked trackpad, your videos are perfect.
Hello, I have a MacBook Pro A1278 with two problems, the webcam does not work and the sound is heard very little, if I connect headphones it is practically not heard. Do you have any videos that help me?
Thank you
Use a bluetooth speaker or replace logic board.
For the webcam issue you can fix that by opening terminal and typing these commands in: sudo kill all VDCAssistant
And you may have a pin that is halfway depressed. Try looking inside and pushing something like a wooden tooth pick or something that's not metallic inside to push the pins out.
If that doesn't work you'll probably need to get a new logic board or someone that really knows what they're doing.
Thanks
Just did this but now the mechanical click won't register. Any ways to fix this?
There's a torx screw on the bottom of the trackpad you can use to adjust the spacing for the click. Too tight and it wont click, too loose and it'll click kinda of wobbly
Hi bro, thanks for video.... Great tutorial... A Hug from Brazil....

I couldn’t get the mousepad screws out
Yeah you need a very pointy philip's head screwdriver, the small bits from my phone repair kit were the right size but i needed one more pointy
