Trackpad repair is a task of surgical precision. In many MacBook Pro models, the trackpad sits directly above the battery. If a battery begins to swell—even slightly—it puts upward pressure on the trackpad, causing it to "lift" or lose its click. My job in the Canterbury workshop is to determine if you need a new trackpad or a MacBook Pro battery replacement. I use specialised torque drivers to align the trackpad perfectly within the chassis, ensuring the haptic feedback feels exactly as it did the day you bought it.

We perform a full diagnostic to check for corrosion on the trackpad flex cable, which is a common victim of MacBook Pro liquid damage. If the trackpad itself is faulty, we replace it with a premium component and calibrate the sensitivity. Every repair is backed by our 1-year return-to-base warranty. Should the issue be related to a deeper motherboard fault, our technicians can also perform complex MacBook Pro logic board repairs. If the device is found to be unrepairable, we only charge a £15 inspection fee.

How much does it cost to get a Mac trackpad fixed? Atlantis offers a fixed-price trackpad replacement for £100.00, including parts, labour, and return shipping.

Can a MacBook trackpad be fixed? Yes. Most issues are caused by liquid ingress on the flex cable or a physical failure of the Force Touch sensor. Both can be replaced independently of the top case.

Why is my MacBook trackpad lifting? This is usually a sign of a swollen battery. We recommend an immediate inspection to prevent fire risks and further hardware damage.

Do you need my password? No. As this is a mechanical hardware repair, we can test cursor movement and haptics without accessing your personal data.

What if the trackpad isn't the problem?
If our diagnostic finds that a faulty keyboard or logic board is the true cause, we will contact you with a revised quote. You are never obligated to proceed, and we only charge a £15 inspection fee if you decline.

Is the repair permanent?
We use high-quality replacement modules that meet or exceed Apple's original specifications. Combined with our 1-year warranty, you can rest assured your MacBook Pro is back to factory standard.
