I couldn't be more pleased with myself or ifixit right now. I went to the Apple service centre to find out about getting my trackpad fixed and was told it would take 2 weeks to diagnose what the problem was and up to another 2 weeks before they could fix it. Luckily, I stumbled upon ifixit - got a tool pack and parts delivered in 5 days and I was just able to replace the trackpad easily in 30 minutes. I did find that I wasn't able to get the screws from the back of the trackpad out with the Phillips 00 screwdriver though - I had to use the 000. I am weirdly looking forward to something else breaking now just so I can fix it:-)
Why did I not do this earlier! I wasted 2 years of my laptop life struggling with the trackpad and external mouses. This was pretty easy.
Just installed my new trackpad and it works like a dream. Thanks!!
Thanks!! This worked perfectly. (Almost... I stripped a couple tiny screws on the trackpad before it was perfectly placed so I have a dead spot about the size of a quarter in the upper right corner where it won't click, but it's much better than the previous one.)
I was scared to this project until I found this site! I've never opened up any of my computers until now and this manual made it so easy!
