Product Details
Is the trackpad on your 14" 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 damaged cable stops it working. A new trackpad cable is a cheap part to try before a whole trackpad.
This cable fits the 14-inch MacBook Pro A2442 from 2021 only. For the 2023 model, get the A2779 trackpad cable.
Part Includes:
- 1x Trackpad flex cable
- 12 Month Warranty
Please Note
Does NOT fit the 2023 14" A2779, the M3 and M4 14" models or any 16" MacBook Pro. 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 bottom case comes off and the battery is unplugged. The trackpad comes out to reach the far end of the cable.

- Turn off Auto Boot first so the MacBook doesn't switch on when you open it: on macOS Sequoia or later run
sudo nvram BootPreference=%00in Terminal, andsudo nvram -d BootPreferenceto undo it. On older macOS, keep the lid closed while it is plugged in - 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
- Lift the front edge of the bottom case with a suction cup and run an opening pick round the edge to release the clips
- The battery connector cover and the trackpad cable bracket use T3 screws, and the trackpad screws are T5
- Lift the cable connectors with a spudger or tweezers, never the sockets
