Product Details
Is the trackpad on your 15" 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.
Every 15-inch Touch Bar MacBook Pro uses this same cable: the A1707 from 2016 and 2017 and the A1990 from 2018 and 2019. For the 16-inch A2141, get the A2141 cable. Need the trackpad too? We stock the A1707 / A1990 trackpad in silver and space grey.
Part Includes:
- 1x Trackpad flex cable
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the 16" MacBook Pro A2141 or the 2012 to 2015 A1398. Check the A-number on the bottom case.
Please Note
The printed number is 821-01050 on 2016-2017 cables and 821-01669 on 2018-2019 cables. Both 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.

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: run
sudo nvram AutoBoot=%00in Terminal, andsudo nvram AutoBoot=%03to turn it back on after the repair - 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
- A battery board cover comes off first. The cable bracket uses T3 screws, and the 13 trackpad screws are T5
- The cable is stuck to the battery. Warm it with an iOpener and peel it up slowly. Never lever against the battery cells
- Pry the bottom case clips free with an opening pick after lifting the front edge with a suction cup
- Flip up the small locking flap on each ZIF connector with a spudger or tweezers before sliding the cable out, and close it again once the new cable is in
