@@ItsBinhRepaired already done! I just finished the repair about 20 minutes ago and I couldn’t have done it without you. The ifixit docs (for the model I’m working on) assume the replacement trackpad comes with the cable and you are the only source I have been able to find that covers this and explains that there is a clip you have to flip up to insert the cable. It was driving me absolutely insane and my gf was so pissed because I was supposed to have this done ages ago. Thank you again so much brother, I hope you have great luck and fortune, health and happiness.

Hi Binh, the black latch went out, I just can’t figure out how to properly put it back. Would you have a close up view on how it is supposed to be ? I have lost trackpad and keyboard after changing battery. Many thanks ! Pat

[@zygomar74]

Bad luck : this little latch is broken so I guess I need to order a trackpad (and at the same time a new ribbon so be on the safe side). Can I run SMC and PRAM reset with the USB keyboard ? Also, does this ribbon-trackpad connection also affect main keyboard ?Many thanks Binh or any other contributor

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

@@zygomar74 Apple disables the keyboard if the trackpad isn't detected.

[@zygomar74]

Thanks a lot Binh ! I will order a trackpad and the ribbon. The last on top of the trackpad board is so tiny that 1. It is weak 2. I did not manage to find a quality close up to understand. I will take pictures once received and post.

I have a MacBook Pro mid 2012 - trackpad and keyboard not working, I did all of the resets, and at least with the smc I feel like it must be working because the MacBook didn’t turn on until I let the keys go. I opened it up, but everything seems connected and the trackpad is clicking. Any tips 😢

Replace the trackpad and trackpad cable.

[@richardbeckman8523]

My trackpad is clicking and working but sometimes the pointer goes crazy on the screen. It is clickable everywhere but the very top and the case is not showing any obvious signs of a swelling battery. Do you think that the battery could still be causing the issue?

Possibly liquid or something damaged it.

well hope you will see this.just sub to your channel.

@It’s Binh (Been) repaired and reviewed - my apologies that this is some time later but I’ve only just found your video. I wanted to congratulate you on a great informative repair video. One of the very best out there. It doesn’t answer my problem but I will save it to my MacBook repair folder anyway. My fault is odd - the A, S and D keys won’t work on my MacBook Pro 13” Retina A1502. I updated the iOS without success. I will try resetting pRAM and SMC also. If that doesn’t work, it must be a hardware issue. Great video. Many thanks for posting. I hope your very gifted hands are healed soon - it looks like you’ve been chewed on by a shark! Best regards from Northern Ireland.

[@ItsBinhRepaired]

Haha thanks. If the keys don't work at all, you'll need to replace the keyboard. I have videos on how to do that, but it's a pain. If you need, just let me know.

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

@@ItsBinhRepaired many thanks for a very prompt response. If I have to go to the length of replacing the keyboard, I think I may upgrade the MacBook to a newer model. Mine is early 2015 - it won’t be long before it won’t support latest issue iOS anyway, I would think. At least I can use an external keyboard with it but it’s upsetting this fault has appeared out of nowhere. It hasn’t been used that much in 7 years, compared to others, and it is never abused (certainly never spilled on etc.). Thank you so much for your help. 😀👍☘️
