Track Pad Repair

My Problem

My son's five year old college MacBook Pro's trackpad stopped working. The click function no longer worked. I bought him a new MacBook Air and asked to repurpose his old one.

My Fix

The repair went smoothly except for the teeny tiny screws were very hard to get back into the holes with the computer standing up on edge. I finally padded the space between the screen and trackpad a bit with some soft tissue and was able to place the computer face down so that I could get a gravity assist in dropping the screws into the holes.

My Advice

I should have purchased an magnetic tipped screwdriver for the task. This would have helped a ton.

Trackpad now works perfect.
