Product Details
Is the trackpad on your 13" MacBook Air not clicking, cracked or not responding to touch? A worn or damaged trackpad (also called the touchpad) makes your MacBook hard to use, and a replacement trackpad fixes it.
This Force Touch trackpad fits the Intel 13-inch MacBook Air A2179 from Early 2020. Choose gold, silver or space grey to match your MacBook. For the Late 2020 M1 Air, get the M1 A2337 trackpad. Is only the cable torn? Get the A2179 / A2337 trackpad cable.
Part Includes:
- 1x Force Touch trackpad (gold, silver or space grey)
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the 2018 to 2019 A1932 or the M1 A2337, which use different trackpads. Check the A-number on the bottom case.
Please Note
The trackpad cable and screws are not included. Move them across from your old trackpad.

- Turn off Auto Boot first so the MacBook doesn't switch on when you open it: run
sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00in Terminal, andsudo nvram AutoBoot=%03to turn it back on after the repair - Always power down your device and unplug the battery before you remove any other parts. Keep metal tools away from the battery, and never bend, crush or puncture it
- The bottom case screws are P5, two small T3 screws hold a bracket over the trackpad cable, and the trackpad screws are T5. Track your screws on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop
- Slide the trackpad cable out of its connector with a spudger, and guide it out with tweezers as the trackpad lifts out
- A Force Touch trackpad has no moving click. If it feels dead after fitting, check its cable is fully seated, then restart the MacBook
