    Macbook pro A2918 - trackpad does not work

    Hi,

    I'm working on an A2918 (820-02757) MacBook that has suffered liquid damage. We've replaced the palm rest and cleaned the motherboard, but the trackpad connector has 3-4 broken traces on the top right side.

    We need schematics or someone who can help identify where these traces lead. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance!

          Resolved - Problem was caused by IC on the other side of the board, needed re-flow.

              MacBook Pro M4 Pro - no keyboard / trackpad / lid sensor
              by mitchw
              Hello
              I got this MacBook Pro M4 Pro to have a look at.
              It was tiny bit liquid damaged, just the edge of the board got 1 small 10x10 mm area wet. I've seen much worse that still worked fine to be honest.
              Since it was liquid damaged, warranty does not apply anymore.

              Anyways it was checked at an local Apple Store and they discovered that it needs new trackpad, new top case, etc. Also it needed a new lid angle sensor which they replaced.
              The main issue was that the screen remained black.

              Anyways I cleaned the liquid damaged area, put the machine back...

              [Macbook pro A1708] [Boot loop] [Trackpad ?]
              by No Lan
              Hey everyone,

              Usually, I'm not the type to ask for help, but this time, I'm calling on your wisdom and expertise I've seen what this community can do, so I'm pretty sure you guys can help me out.

              Here's the deal: I noticed my MacBook got stuck in a boot loop. After opening it up and doing some initial troubleshooting, I found that the boot loop stops only when the trackpad is unplugged.

              Now, just so you know, the trackpad actually works — I tested it with another motherboard and it's all good. Same for the cable, no issues there. The problem is only...

              Apple Macbook Air M1 A2337 Trackpad problem
              by Skrndelj
              Hello all,

              I am repairing a Macbook A2337 and i have a problem
              The Macbook is stuck in restore as someone before me tried a DFU restore and bricked the device, now i can't do a restore as AC2 throws error 1 which is related to the trackpad.
              When i turn on the device i get the trackpad click for a few moments and then nothing, i tried 7 trackpads and 7 trackpad flats, i know all 7 are functioning okay, especially one as i use it for testing and DFU restore.
              I inspected the whole board and everything seems fine.
              Can anyone help me as i didn't fiddle with trackpad...

              MacBook Air M2 A2681 no Trackpad
              by rynr
              Hello,
              I have been following the posts in the forum for some time now and have learned a lot. I would first like to thank you for this and hope that it will continue for a long time.

              I received the MacBook in DFU. The recovery always failed with error 1. After some search, I was able to find a defective inductor (LT202).
              After replacing the component, I was able to successfully complete the DFU restore. Unfortunately, the trackpad and keyboard where still without function.

              So i measured all voltages and diodereadings on the JT400 connector. ...

              MacBook Pro A2289 no signs of life except clicking trackpad and charging
              by Woodsworth
              Hi,

              I hope this is the correct place to post about this device. I originally posted regarding this on iFixit so see the details from that post below:

              "I'm hoping someone can give their opinion on the symptoms I'm seeing before I spend any more time and put money into this. I got this MacBook from a customer and after looking at it they decided they didn't want it.

              It doesn't turn on and there's no visual signs of life. I have tried resetting the NVRAM, SMC, power cycling, unplugging the battery, using the charger with the battery unplugged. Removed the...
