    • Completely power off and unplug your MacBook Pro before you start. Close the display and flip the entire laptop upside-down.

    • Use a P5 Pentalobe driver to remove eight screws securing the lower case:

    • Four 9.1 mm screws

    • Four 5 mm screws

    • Throughout this repair, keep track of each screw and make sure it goes back exactly where it came from to avoid damaging your device.

    • Insert an opening pick into the gap you just created.

    • Slide the opening pick around the nearest corner and then halfway up the side of the MacBook Pro.

    • This releases the first of the hidden clips securing the lower case. You should feel and hear the clip pop free.

    • Pull firmly to slide the lower case towards the front edge of the MacBook (away from the hinge area) to separate the last of the clips securing the lower case.

    • Pull first at one corner, then the other.

    • Pull to the side—not up.

    • This may require a lot of force.

    • Remove the lower case.

    • To reinstall the lower case:

    • Set it in place and align the sliding clips near the display hinge. Press down and slide the cover toward the hinge. It should stop sliding as the clips engage.

    • When the sliding clips are fully engaged and the lower case looks correctly aligned, press down firmly on the lower case to engage the four hidden clips underneath. You should feel and hear them snap into place.

    • Use a T5 Torx driver to remove the 13 screws securing the trackpad assembly:

    • Ten 5 mm screws

    • Three 5.8 mm screws

    • These screws all look similar—be careful not to mix them up.

    • Adding a little blue threadlocker to the screw threads during reassembly can help prevent the screws from working themselves loose over time.

    • Install the screws loosely at first, and then check the trackpad alignment before tightening them down.

    • Swing the display open slightly, but keep the MacBook upside-down. The trackpad assembly should separate and lay flat on the display.

    • As you remove the trackpad assembly, be very careful not to lose the nine small metal washers resting on the screw posts. (They will fly off and get lost with very little provocation.)

    • Carefully feed the trackpad's ribbon cable through its slot in the frame.

  22. MacBook Pro 16" 2021 Trackpad Replacement: stap 22, afbeelding 1 van 1
    • Remove the trackpad assembly.

    • During reassembly:

    • Make sure your new trackpad has a ribbon cable installed. If necessary, transfer the old cable, or install the one your new trackpad came with.

    • Make sure that each of the nine washers are present before you install the trackpad.

Conclusie

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before you install it.

Is there any way to adjust the trackpad button sensitivity? My trackpad seems to be a bit soft/flimsy when sliding my finger on it. I've already tried adjusting the click via the system preferences but it still feels kinda soft in the center of the trackpad. Wondering if there's a hardware fix to it...

Great guide!

I cleaned my trackpad on a 14" 2021 MBP. Gravy incident so the cleaning had to be through.

Everything is clean and back to normal, but the trackpad clicks are much louder.

Guessing the original glue used to hold trackpad down damped the sound somewhat because my double-sided tape solution doesn't have the same padding.

Not a huge deal, but much prefer the original click sound.

On a separate note, the gravy may have stained the LED key lighting. It's as clean as I can get it, but I've only cleaned under the keycaps.

The gravy keys are noticeably dimmer.

Suggestions on getting deeper to clean the LEDs?

Are these steps the same on a 2019 MacBook Pro 16"?

At the moment, I'm still in the troubleshooting stage. My built-in trackpad works perfectly most of the time, but often it'll become sluggish and intermittently unresponsive. For example, when I started searching for troubleshooting tips about 20 minutes ago, the trackpad was as described above out of the gate. After four or five minutes, it started working normally again. Do these symptoms mean I need to replace the trackpad?
