For a while now (more details later), my MacBook Pro trackpad was misbehaving. Constantly shifting, clicks were not recognised.<\/p>\n

After researching the web, I found out it is a known problem which can be easily resolved by “tuning” the trackpad screw.<\/p>\n

So, I opened my MaBook, removed the battery and to my surprise I found out that the trackpad is floating around with screws missing.<\/p>\n

On the left, two screws were present but not connected. On the right, both screws were missing. Found one of them inside the box, but one of them is still missing.<\/p>\n

How can this happen?<\/p>\n

Not sure, but a few months ago I had to go Apple to fix my Macbook after the fan made very loud noise which resulted in Macbook not booting.<\/p>\n

Apple replaced the chassis which made my very happy, BUT trackpad problems started shortly after.<\/p>\n

So,<\/p>\n

1) What caused the Fan issue – a screw , broken plastic or similar – I was never told<\/p>\n

2) Is it possible that Apple Service (Genius) failed to assemble my Macbook ?<\/p>\n

I will never know.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I reassembled, trackpad works well. … Still missing a screw.<\/p>\n

Where can I find one?<\/p>\n
