ifixit is a great place to find help for your problematic electronics so let’s try to keep it organized for everyone’s sake ! different year and models may have different and or similar behaviours when problems occur and therefore we need to be organized . So please only post in this thread if you have the SAME YEAR MacBook as original post . Make a new thread with your model and year so it’s easy for other people to quickly find relevant solutions . Also please keep things factual , your feelings , intuitions and opinions are very important but they just confuse , mislead and bloat the troubleshooting thread ! Example year : 2011 Model : MacBook Pro 15inch version of OS X : 10.4.1 issue : trackpad working but options not showing up in settings Tried : changing battery Result : didn’t fix issue tried : reinstalling operating system 10.4.0 result : successful

FIXED! BACKGROUND MBP13/2011 Trackpad options Not showing up in Settings Solution Simply downloaded Sierra from appStore made a bootable installer using https://macdaddy.io/install-disk-creator/ installed Sierra and trackpad options are magically back! Thanks apple for not fixing things again with older models ... Note that I'm pretty sure any older OS would fix this issue

Guys I have you ever thought about putting the crappy tape they had placed over the lvds connector !?! :)
