Some users find that the cursor doesn't move at all, others that the trackpad clicks on its own all the time, or that clicking works but two-finger scrolling is unresponsive.<\/p>\n\n  <table class=\"tg-table\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th>Symptom<\/th>\n        <th>Probable cause<\/th>\n        <th>Solution to be tested first<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Cursor completely frozen<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Software crash, driver conflict, disconnected tablecloth<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Forced restart, then SMC<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Clicking doesn't work but the cursor moves<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Worn click mechanism, swollen battery, accessibility settings<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Check settings, then battery status<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Trackpad clicks by itself (phantom clicks)<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Swollen battery, moisture, dirt under the surface<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Cleaning, then battery check<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Multitouch gestures no longer respond<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Settings disabled, software conflict, wet surface<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Trackpad settings, safe mode<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Trackpad works intermittently<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Partially disconnected tablecloth, corrosion, software conflict<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>SMC, then professional diagnosis<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Curved or raised trackpad surface<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Inflated battery (emergency)<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Stop using your MacBook, immediate consultation<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n\n  <p>The most important point to remember: a trackpad that physically lifts up or a case that deforms at the wrist rest is a sign of a <strong>inflated battery<\/strong>. This is a safety issue that requires rapid intervention - more on this below.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-1-redemarrage\">Solution 1 - Forced restart of the MacBook<\/h2>\n\n  <p>A frozen trackpad after a system crash is often resolved by a simple reboot. If the cursor doesn't move at all and the MacBook doesn't respond to any interaction, hold down the <strong>power button<\/strong> down for 10 seconds until the power is completely switched off. Wait a few seconds, then switch it back on.<\/p>\n\n  <p>On recent MacBooks (2016 and later) equipped with the Force Touch trackpad, the click is simulated by haptic feedback - there is no physical mechanism. If the MacBook is switched off or completely crashed, the trackpad will not give any haptic feedback, which is normal. Once restarted, haptic feedback returns.<\/p>\n\n  <p>If your <a href=\"\/en\/mac-wont-turn-on\/\">Mac won't turn on<\/a> after a forced restart, the problem goes beyond the trackpad and requires further diagnosis.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-2-reglages\">Solution 2 - Check trackpad settings<\/h2>\n\n  <p>macOS offers a number of settings that modify the behaviour of the trackpad. An accidental change can give the impression of a fault when everything is working normally.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Go to <strong>System settings \u2192 Trackpad<\/strong> and check the three tabs:<\/p>\n\n  <table class=\"tg-table\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th>Tab<\/th>\n        <th>Settings to check<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Point and click<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Cursor speed (not at minimum?), Click (enabled?), Touch to click, Click force, Silent click<\/span><\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Scrolling and zooming<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Scroll direction (natural or reverse), Intelligent zoom, Pinch to zoom<\/span><\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Other gestures<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Swiping between pages, Mission Control, Notification Centre, Launchpad<\/span><\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n\n  <p>Also check <strong>System settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 Pointer control<\/strong>. The \u00abIgnore integrated trackpad when a wireless mouse or trackpad is present\u00bb option can disable your trackpad if a Bluetooth device is connected - even if you're not actively using it. The mouse button (in Accessibility \u2192 Pointer Control \u2192 Alternative Control Methods) can also interfere with normal behaviour.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-3-peripherique\">Solution 3 - Disconnect all Bluetooth devices<\/h2>\n\n  <p>A conflict between a Bluetooth mouse and the built-in trackpad is more common than you might think. Even a mouse in a rucksack, still switched on and connected via Bluetooth, can interfere with the trackpad if the accessibility option mentioned above is activated.<\/p>\n\n  <p>To test: deactivate Bluetooth completely in <strong>System Settings \u2192 Bluetooth<\/strong> (not just disconnect the devices, but disable the function). If the trackpad works again immediately, the culprit has been identified. Then reconnect your devices one by one and uncheck the \u00abIgnore integrated trackpad\u00bb option in the accessibility settings.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-4-nettoyage\">Solution 4 - Clean the trackpad surface<\/h2>\n\n  <p>The Force Touch trackpad is extremely sensitive to moisture, grease and residue. A thin film of perspiration or an invisible droplet of water can cause phantom clicks, dead zones or erratic multitouch behaviour.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Switch off your MacBook completely. Lightly dampen a microfibre cloth (the same one you use for your glasses) with a little distilled water or 70% isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the surface of the trackpad with gentle strokes, then dry with a dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, scented wet wipes or sprays directly on the trackpad.<\/p>\n\n  <p>If your MacBook has been exposed to liquid, even just a glass of water spilt nearby, corrosion can affect the sensors under the trackpad. If this happens, read our guide to <a href=\"\/en\/mac-dropped-in-water-emergency\/\">Macs in the water<\/a> - the faster the intervention, the better the chances of saving the components.<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"info-box tip\">\n    <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If the problem only occurs when your fingers are wet or very hot, this is the normal behaviour of the capacitive trackpad. Dry your hands and wait for them to cool - the trackpad detects variations in skin conductivity.\n  <\/div>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-5-smc\">Solution 5 - Reset the SMC<\/h2>\n\n  <p>The SMC (System Management Controller) manages low-level hardware components, including the Force Touch trackpad and its haptic feedback. Resetting the SMC frequently solves problems where the physical click no longer responds or the haptic feedback has disappeared.<\/p>\n\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reinitialisation-smc-trackpad-macbook.webp\" alt=\"SMC reset procedure to repair the MacBook trackpad\" title=\"MacBook SMC reset - trackpad repair\" width=\"1200\" height=\"568\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\n  <table class=\"tg-table\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th>Model<\/th>\n        <th>SMC procedure<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">MacBook with T2 chip (2018-2020)<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Switch off.

If the haptic feedback returns but the behaviour remains erratic, move on to the next solution.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-6-nvram\">Solution 6 - Reset NVRAM \/ PRAM<\/h2>\n\n  <p>NVRAM stores certain hardware parameters that can indirectly affect the trackpad, including input device settings and screen resolution (which influences the correspondence between finger movement and cursor movement).<\/p>\n\n  <p>On an Intel Mac: switch off, switch on again and hold down immediately. <strong>Option + Command + P + R<\/strong> for approximately 20 seconds. On Apple Silicon Macs, NVRAM automatically resets itself on each reboot if necessary - a simple reboot is all that's required.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-7-mode-sans-echec\">Solution 7 - Starting up in safe mode<\/h2>\n\n  <p>If the trackpad works correctly in <a href=\"\/en\/start-mac-in-safe-mode\/\">safe mode<\/a> but not during normal start-up, third-party software interferes with the trackpad driver. Common culprits: trackpad customisation applications (badly configured BetterTouchTool, obsolete MagicPrefs), graphics tablet drivers (Wacom, Huion), certain remote control software or overly intrusive antivirus software.<\/p>\n\n  <p>In safe mode, macOS only loads essential system extensions. If the trackpad works there, restart normally and uninstall the suspect software one by one to isolate the conflict. Use <a href=\"\/en\/essential-mac-apps\/\">AppCleaner<\/a> to remove them cleanly, without leaving any residue.<\/p>\n\n  <h2 id=\"solution-8-batterie-gonflee\">Solution 8 - Check the state of the battery<\/h2>\n\n  <p>This is the most common hardware cause of trackpad problems on MacBooks, and also the most dangerous if ignored. A lithium-ion battery at the end of its life can swell and exert upward pressure against the trackpad, causing phantom clicks, a trackpad that won't depress, or a visibly bulging surface.<\/p>\n\n  <p>To check the state of the battery, Apple recommends consulting the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/fr-be\/HT201585\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">charge cycle and battery status information<\/a>. The quickest way: hold down the <strong>Option (\u2325)<\/strong> and click on the battery icon in the menu bar. The possible states are :<\/p>\n\n  <table class=\"tg-table\">\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th>Display status<\/th>\n        <th>Meaning<\/th>\n        <th>Action<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Normal<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">The battery is working normally<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>No action required<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Replacement soon recommended<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Small but functional capacity<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Planning a replacement<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Replace now<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">Significantly reduced capacity<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Quick replacement recommended<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n      <tr>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-label\">Repairing the battery<\/span><\/td>\n        <td><span class=\"cell-desc\">MacOS detects fault<\/span><\/td>\n        <td>Urgent replacement required<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n\n  <div class=\"info-box danger\">\n    <strong>Urgent :<\/strong> If the case of your MacBook becomes deformed, if the trackpad bulges or if you notice an unusual gap between the base and the screen, stop using the MacBook immediately.

This is the ultimate solution when a system corruption prevents the trackpad from working and all other manipulations have failed.<\/p>\n\n  <p>Restart in Recovery mode (<strong>Cmd + R<\/strong> on Intel, <strong>long power button<\/strong> on Apple Silicon), select <strong>Reinstall macOS<\/strong> and follow the instructions.

Start by cleaning the trackpad and checking the condition of the battery. If the MacBook case is warped or the trackpad is bulging, stop using it and have the battery replaced as a matter of urgency.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>Can the Force Touch trackpad be repaired or does it have to be replaced entirely?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>The Force Touch trackpad is a sealed module comprising the touch surface, pressure sensors and Taptic Engine haptics engine. In the event of a hardware failure, it is replaced in its entirety. Component repair is not possible on this type of trackpad.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>My MacBook no longer has haptic feedback when I click on it, is this a problem?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>The absence of haptic feedback indicates either a problem with the Taptic Engine (the engine that simulates clicking) or a software problem. Reset the SMC first. If the feedback does not return, the Taptic Engine is probably faulty, which means that the entire trackpad module needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>Can I use an external mouse while I wait for the trackpad to be repaired?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>Absolutely. Connect a USB or Bluetooth mouse and your MacBook is still perfectly usable. You'll lose the trackpad's specific multitouch gestures (pinch to zoom, smooth two-finger scrolling), but an external Apple Magic Trackpad offers exactly the same functionality as the built-in trackpad.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>Can a swollen battery really damage the trackpad?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>Yes, the battery is located directly under the trackpad in most MacBooks. As it swells, it pushes the trackpad upwards, distorting the clicking mechanism and can permanently damage the sensors. In some cases, replacing the battery is enough to restore trackpad operation. In other cases, the trackpad also needs to be replaced.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>How can I disable the integrated trackpad to use a mouse only?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>Go to System Settings \u2192 Accessibility \u2192 Pointer Control and tick \u00abIgnore built-in trackpad when a wireless mouse or trackpad is present\u00bb. The built-in trackpad will then be disabled as long as an external device is connected. This prevents accidental clicks if your trackpad fails.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>Is the trackpad covered by the Apple or AppleCare warranty?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>Yes, the trackpad is covered by Apple's one-year limited warranty and by AppleCare+ in the event of a manufacturing defect. However, damage caused by liquid, dropping or inappropriate use is not covered (except by AppleCare+ accident cover, with an excess). Outside the guarantee, an independent repairer such as R\u00e9paration MAC often offers more competitive rates with a 180-day guarantee.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>The trackpad on my old MacBook (2012-2015) has a mechanical click mechanism. Can it be adjusted?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>Yes, pre-2015 MacBooks use a mechanical trackpad with an adjustment screw accessible under the bottom cover. A technician can adjust the click tension to restore normal behaviour without replacing the component. It's a simple and inexpensive procedure.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"faq-item\">\n      <div class=\"faq-question\">\n        <span>Can BetterTouchTool cause trackpad problems?<\/span>\n        <span class=\"faq-toggle\">+<\/span>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"faq-answer\">\n        <p>BetterTouchTool is a reliable and widely used application, but incorrect configuration can intercept certain gestures and give the impression that the trackpad is no longer working properly.
