Product Details
Is the trackpad on your MacBook Air M2 not clicking, not responding or not working at all? The trackpad flex cable joins the trackpad to the logic board, and a worn or torn cable stops it working. A new trackpad cable is a cheap part to try before a whole trackpad.
This cable fits the 13-inch MacBook Air M2 A2681 from 2022. For the M3, M4 or M5 Air, get the A3113 / A3240 / A3449 trackpad cable. Need the trackpad too? We stock the A2681 trackpad.
Part Includes:
- 1x Trackpad flex cable
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the M1 A2337 or the M3, M4 and M5 Air (A3113, A3240, A3449). Check the A-number on the bottom case.
Please Note
This is the cable only. The trackpad and its screws are not included.
Please Note
The battery is only unplugged. The trackpad comes out with the cable, which then unclips from its back.

Here are some helpful tips to assist you in completing a safe repair on your device. If you are unsure of something or have any questions, please feel free to contact us either by phone (0508 IGADGET) or by email
- Turn off Auto Boot first so the MacBook doesn't switch on when you open it: on macOS Sequoia or later run
sudo nvram BootPreference=%00in Terminal, andsudo nvram -d BootPreferenceto undo it. On older macOS, keep the lid closed while it is plugged in - Always power down your device prior to working on it
- Always unplug the battery before you remove any other parts, and keep metal tools away from the battery. Never bend, crush or puncture it
- The bottom case screws are P5. Track your screws on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop
- The battery connector cover and the cable cover use T3 screws (try a T4 if the T3 feels loose). The ten trackpad screws are T5
- Lift the front edge of the bottom case with a suction cup to release its clips, and free the cable's adhesive with an opening pick rather than pulling on it
- Lift the cable connectors with a spudger, never the sockets
