This usually comes down to light liquid damage or sensor failure. The trackpad is a pressure-sensitive plate that uses a series of sensors beneath the surface to detect clicks and movement. If those sensors are exposed to moisture, even in small amounts, they can become unresponsive or fail entirely.

It is also possible that the fault lies within the circuit shared with the keyboard. If that part of the board is affected, it can stop the trackpad from working properly. We test the full input system before confirming the repair needed.

Yes. These symptoms are usually caused by trackpad sensors registering phantom input, which means the system thinks you are touching the trackpad when you are not.

This can be caused by sensor failure, liquid ingress, or even pressure issues due to a swelling battery. In most cases, we resolve this with a trackpad replacement. We test every device beforehand to confirm the exact cause.

Trackpad repairs at iCorrect start from £159, depending on your MacBook model. Once we inspect the MacBook and confirm the fault, we will provide a fixed quote before any repair begins.

We only use original Apple parts, and every repair includes full testing, reassembly, and a two-year warranty.

In almost all cases, the correct approach is to replace the trackpad. Because it is a pressure-sensitive sensor pad, physical damage or liquid exposure often causes internal failure that cannot be reliably repaired.

If the fault is due to a single visible micro component, and we are confident we can complete the repair to the same standard, we may proceed with a component-level fix. However, we normally recommend full replacement to guarantee performance and reliability.

Yes. The trackpad sits directly above the battery, and when a battery swells, it can push up against the back of the trackpad, making clicks harder or preventing them entirely.

If your MacBook is not clicking properly, and the battery is also showing signs of swelling or failure, there is a good chance the battery is affecting the trackpad’s performance. We inspect both before confirming which part needs replacing.

Yes, and this happens more often than it should. The keyboard and trackpad are linked on the same input circuit. If one is repaired without proper post-repair testing, it is easy to miss secondary issues.

We see this after keyboard replacements and battery swaps completed by third-party shops or DIY repairs. If a connector was left loose or a cable was damaged during reassembly, the trackpad may stop working. We test the full circuit and confirm the cause before we begin any repair.

Yes. We use only original Apple trackpads, often reclaimed from donor MacBooks and tested in-house. These parts retain the same click feel, gesture sensitivity, and feedback as your original part.

We run full pressure and functionality tests on every replacement. If it does not respond like the original, it is not approved.

Yes. We repair all MacBook models, including the latest M1, M2, and beyond. There are small differences between generations, even when the outer design looks identical. For example, the M1 and M2 13-inch MacBook Pro models use slightly different trackpad part numbers.

We identify and match the correct part for your machine based on serial and model reference. Our repairs preserve original functionality and feel.

Yes. All trackpad repairs come with our standard two-year warranty, which covers any fault related to the repair, the part fitted, or any workmanship involved.

If you notice any issue following the repair, we will inspect and resolve it as part of that cover. We log the full repair process so we know exactly what was done and what was tested.

Not directly, but it can be a sign of deeper damage. The trackpad and keyboard share input lines, and both are connected to the logic board. If liquid enters through the trackpad or keyboard, it can affect those circuits.

Think of the internal system like a motorway. The trackpad and keyboard are separate vehicles using the same lanes. If one breaks down, it can block the other. If both are affected, it is usually due to damage on the route they share. We always test both to confirm the full repair needed.
