What is this piece and could it be affecting my trackpad?
So, I started having some trouble with my trackpad; cursor entirely uncontrollable EXCEPT for when I exerted slight pressure on the case right around the trackpad while using it.
I thought this was weird, so I opened up the case and discovered that this little black piece had cracked right down the middle and become two pieces. Went ahead and took it out and so far the trackpad is working just fine.
Picture of the piece here, highlighted by a green box.
So what's the deal? Does anyone know what this thing is or if it's even possible to hunt down a replacement? I've had zero luck finding it (besides, you know, as part of an entire bottom case assembly) and don't know what its actual function is. Is it actually feasible that its breaking could have affected trackpad function?
Is this a good question?
