My Problem

Trackpad was not working. After seeing some bad advice on YouTube about how to fix it by "pushing on it", it just got worse and cracked the trackpad ...

My Fix

Replacement was quick and iFixit instructions were spot on. The tools etc. + spudger, were essential. Only thing was that after install, the clicking action was not sensitive enough. I ended up adjusting the torx screw that is associated with trackpad (beneath the battery) to get the clicking action fixed.

My Advice

I didn't see anything in the iFixit guides that talks about the torx screw that adjusts the sensitivity of the trackpad. Its worth googling and checking. It might be all you need instead of replacing the trackpad.
