Use this guide to replace the trackpad assembly in your Retina MacBook 2015. This assembly includes the trackpad and the Haptic Engine.
A malfunctioning trackpad may simply need to be calibrated rather than replaced outright. Unfortunately the calibration software is not available outside of Apple.
To avoid logic board damage, when your MacBook repair is complete but before powering it on, connect it to low-voltage power using a 5-Watt iPhone charger and a USB-C to USB-A cable. These accessories are not included with your MacBook, so make sure you have them ready before you begin.

Excellent instructions, a big thanks to the author. After completing them the MACBOOK worked OK and then I started to get intermittent problems with the power button and the system bringing the shutdown dialogue without pressing the power button. On closer examination and second removal of the trackpad IPD flex ribbon cable (which also routes keyboard signals to the logic board) the cable came apart at the fold half way along the cable. This cable is very fragile and as mentioned in step 7 you need to be very careful on handling them. In my case I think the cable was fatigued or mechanically damaged where the fold was during manufacture . A replacement cable has been installed and the laptop now works ok.
Hi. I've replaced the trackpad after the old one got damaged and started heating up. Macbook turns on perfectly without any trackpad connected, but doesn't even boot when the new trackpad is connected. The motherboard's LED near the battery connector is blinking. Is there something im missing?
