Product Details
Is the trackpad on your 13" or 15" unibody MacBook Pro 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 trackpad fits the 13-inch A1278 and the 15-inch A1286 unibody MacBook Pro from Mid 2009 to Mid 2012. The trackpad itself is the same on both; only the cable underneath is a different length, so keep your own. Is only the cable torn? Get the A1278 cable or the A1286 cable.
Part Includes:
- 1x Trackpad
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Not confirmed for the Late 2008 models or the 17" A1297. Check the year in About This Mac.
Please Note
The trackpad cable is not included. Move yours across from your old trackpad: the 13" and 15" cables are different lengths.
Specifications
- Part Type: Trackpad (mechanical click)
- Cable: Not included
- Condition: Brand new or A-grade used genuine Apple part

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 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 lower case screws are #00 Phillips and come in two lengths, and the trackpad screws are small #00 Phillips along the inner edge. Track them on a magnetic work mat or tape them to a drawing of your laptop
- The battery is held by tri-point screws, not glue. Lift it out by its plastic pull tab
- Lift the cable connectors with a spudger or tweezers, never the sockets, and move your cable from the old trackpad to the new one before it goes back in
- Hold the trackpad while the last screws come out. Test the click in all four corners before you refit the bottom case, and if it feels uneven, loosen and refit the trackpad screws gently
