Product Details
Is the trackpad on your 13" MacBook Pro not clicking, not responding or not working at all? The trackpad flex cable joins the Force Touch 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.
The 13-inch MacBook Pro with two Thunderbolt ports, with or without a Touch Bar, uses this cable from 2016 to the 2020 M1: the A1708, A2159, A2289 and A2338 M1. For a four port model, get the four port cable, and for the 2022 M2, the M2 A2338 cable. Need the trackpad too? We stock the A1708 / A2159 trackpad in silver and space grey, the A2289 trackpad and the A2338 M1 trackpad.
Part Includes:
- 1x Trackpad flex cable
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the four port 13" MacBook Pro (A1706, A1989, A2251) or the 2022 M2 A2338. Count the Thunderbolt ports and check the A-number.
Please Note
The printed number changed over the years (821-01002, 821-02218, 821-02716, 821-02853). All four are the same cable and fit every model listed.
Please Note
The battery is only unplugged. The trackpad comes out to reach the far end of the cable.
