Product Details
Is the trackpad on your 17" MacBook Pro 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 17-inch unibody MacBook Pro A1297 from Early 2009 to Late 2011. Need the trackpad too? We stock the A1297 trackpad.
Part Includes:
- 1x Trackpad flex cable
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the 13" A1278 or the 15" A1286, which use shorter cables. 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 lower case comes off and the battery comes out. The trackpad unscrews to reach the far end of the cable.

Installation Help
Check out the video above for assistance with this repair
iFixit has no trackpad guide for the 17" MacBook Pro. The video shows the full job: lower case off, battery out, then the trackpad unscrews and the cable unplugs at both ends.
Here are some tools you may need to help you complete the repair.
- #00 Metal Phillips 2.0mm Screwdriver Tool (PH00)
- Or get the #00 Phillips in our 10 Piece MacBook Repair Toolkit
- Y0 Metal Triwing Tri-Point 2.0mm Screwdriver Tool
- Nylon Antistatic Spudger Pry Tool
- ESD Anti-Static Stainless Steel Curved Tweezers | ESD 15
- iGadget Universal Magnetic Work Project Mat with Marker (30cm x 25cm)
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
- 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 lower case screws are #00 Phillips and come in two lengths. Track them on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop
- The battery is held by three tri-point screws, not glue. Lift it out by its plastic pull tab
- Lift the cable connectors with a spudger, never the sockets
- Peel back the clear tape over the cable with tweezers and stick it back down over the new cable
- The trackpad screws are small #00 Phillips screws along the inner edge. Hold the trackpad while the last ones come out, then refit them gently so the click still feels even
What’s In The Box
