Reinstall Trackpad

  • Reinstall trackpad by following step 8 in reverse order but only tighten the 6 screws at the trackpad (orange) firmly and leave the 6 screws of the case (red) slightly loose

  • Open the MacBook to nearly 90° so that it stands stable on its display case.

  • Check the feel of the click. Does it go back gently into rest position? Has it enough stroke?

  • If not, you might have chosen to rigid or to thick material (or both)

  • You may also try to readjust the central screw which is marked in step 10 and which you hopefully did not unscrew!
