MacBook Core Duo: Trackpad click button is jammed

Fri, 28 Apr 2023 16:15:53 -0700

The click button on my trackpad has become jammed. It still functions but must be pressed hard to generate a click. Pressure on the palm rests will generate a mouse click because of this condition.

Is this likely to be something that removing the keyboard and cleaning might fix or would I need to replace the entire top cover, trackpad and keyboard?

Thanks,

MacBook: Trackpad suddenly over is sensitive

Tue, 15 Oct 2024 15:55:57 -0700

Tried all the settings in System Preferences and combinations of them to no avail. Single clicks are interpreted as double clicks. Sometimes just touching it causes an action that should require a click. Positioning the cursor almost always selects an entire word (sometimes an entire line) requiring a forward or back arrow to get to where I want to go. Zapped PRAM. Can't find anything obvious in Library. I'd like to think it's the trackpad, itself, but it could be whatever processes the signals to/from the trackpad. Everything else works perfectly (or at least the same as it always has). I added no software immediately before problem started and don't even remember upgrading anything. Still running 10.4.11 as I have one program that will not run on 10.5+.

It is only going in less than 1/16" and won't lock down. I have tried a bit of tape for leverage, I have a good angle on it, it just won't go in. I have the midwall off, and I have plenty of room, it just refuses to go in and lock. what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

MacBook: How does a person learn to repair MacBook logic boards?

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 13:00:48 -0700

Hi! I'm wondering how people go about learning to repair logic boards. Not replacing components (DC-in, memory, etc.), but actually repairing the board itself when it has liquid damage or other issues that are typically fatal. I've sold a lot of dead MacBooks and have noticed there is definitely a market, and I've also successfully used flat-rate services which pretty much repair any MacBook board for a few hundred dollars. In my experience, they haven't switched them out -- they've actually fixed the board. And not only that, but the high success rate leads me to believe that the repair process must be fairly systematic and straightforward.

I'm very interested to learn, so I'm wondering, is anyone aware of resources for doing this kind of thing? I'm assuming it involves soldering, chip replacement, and some pretty hardcore electronics knowledge. I've asked people who do this for a living, but for obvious reasons they don't seem too interested in divulging the info.

Thanks!

MacBook Unibody Model A1278: Converting Internal MacBook Trackpad to External USB Trackpad

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 21:37:46 -0700

Hi there,

I have a "Apple MacBook Genuine A1278 MB466LL/A MB466 Silver Touchpad & Cable 821-1254-A."

It's the internal trackpad from a modern MacBook Pro. It has some kind of 22-pin connector on the end of the cable. Does anyone know if it would be possible to convert this trackpad into a standalone USB mouse that could be used on another computer?

Here's a similar hack for older model Macbook Pros: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVQKl-HV...

MacBook Core 2 Duo: Headphone Jack Stuck on Digital Out

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 23:14:45 -0700

Has anyone else had this issue where the headphone jack gets stuck in digital out mode?

My speakers are disabled (except for the chime sound when booting), the sound pref panel only allows me to select 'Digital Out' for sound output, and a red light shines out of the jack. Headphones work when I plug 'em in.

I've found other discussions out there about this (such as: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa...), but so far I haven't had much luck with suggestions found there.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

MacBook Unibody Model A1278: Audio jack problem, no speaker sound, red light

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 19:00:17 -0700

My MacBook has no sound except through headphones or external speakers. When I play a song, a red light appears inside my audio jack and there's no sound. The volume controller in the menu bar is grayed out. I tried poking into the audio input jack as mentioned in many forums, with no luck. Can I fix it by opening my MacBook? Is there any way to fix this other than poking something into the audio jack?

MacBook Core Duo: How to connect a magsafe to a solar panel

Hi!

I recently bought a solar panel(Solar Gorilla), but to use it with my MacBook I need to fork out a large sum for the adapters. I have an old magsafe adapter, and several connector tips. Can I somehow connect the magsafe plug to a tip and get power without spending money?

Any help would be welcome!

MacBook Unibody Model A1342: My MacBook is frozen and it will not shut down. What's wrong?

Mon, 05 Feb 2024 08:45:21 -0700

My MacBook has been frozen for two days now, and I can't turn it off. I have tried the power button as well as command, control, and power buttons simultaneously with no result. I can move the mouse, but I cannot do anything when I try to give a command. When I push the power button, the screen goes black. And when I turn it on again, it looks like it goes to sleep and wakes up on the same screen. Any suggestion?

P.S I haven't tried to take out the battery because I'm scared maybe something worse will happen.

MacBook: Charging port burnt out, is there an inexpensive way to replace it?

The port for the charger in my MacBook is all burnt out, we've tried cleaning it (toothbrush and alcohol) and getting new chargers (60W). It's been dead for about a year now, and I've decided I finally want to fix it. Is there an inexpensive way to replace it without having to solder or do anything complex?
