What is the average cost to replace track pad on 15 inch MacBook pro

Is it worth fixing

On Unibody Macs the trackpad and the keyboard are bonded to the aluminum chassis, called the topcase, and must be replaced as a whole. Besides the cost of the part, the repair is expensive cause of the massive amount of delicate labor involved: the entire guts of the Mac have to be taken out and transferred to the new chassis. I've heard prices ranging from $600 up to $900 or more, depending on location.
In your case, if the trackpad is failing cause of spilled liquid, note that other parts below the trackpack may also be damaged and raise the cost of repair even higher.

  • What is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro

    what is the shortcut key to highlight words in adobe reader in macbook pro?
    Shift + U is not working
    how can i change shortcut key?

    I don't believe there is a keyboard shortcut available for that feature. But I believe if you click-select the topmost chapter, and Shift-click the bottommost chapter, it should select them all.
    Other shortcuts for books can be set up in Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts in the Panel Menus product area. There are no default shortcuts in that area.

  • What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

    You stumbled on a Mac Tower forum, not notebooks.
    If you are running 10.6.8 then you must have bought it 3-4 yrs ago?
    Might want to check the specs and then look at various programs and their requirements as to whether Final Cut Express and ah, you want to import media to an app, not "upload."

  • Can I buy a replacement battery for my 13 inch Macbook Pro from Apple?

    The battery for my Early 2011 13-inch Macbook Pro is now completely dead, no longer even recognized by my computer.  Anyone know if I take it into the apple store if they can replace it for me?  I didn't see a battery in the Apple Store that would work, but would they have one there?

    Why don't you call them up & ask?????? 

  • What is the average cost of 5s screen replacement?

    I dropped my phone

    Since the ONLY place where you can get it replaced and still maintain your ability to have it serviced/supported by Apple, that would be $269 at the moment. They replace the entire phone. Screen replacement is not yet available for the 5s. It IS available in the US and some other countries for the 5 and 5c. There is reason to believe the 5s will be included in thaat program sometime in the future. Currently, the cost for screen replacement on a 5 or 5c is $149.

  • Is it hard or expensive to change the track pad on a 2010 macbook pro/

    I'm thinking of buying a used macbook pro but it has an issue with the track pad.  The current owner is using an external mouse.

    Expect more issues than trackpad, both now and in the future.
    Final cost depends on what is actually wrong, and we could only guess while Genius Bar would know what is broken.
    My advice: skip it, unless it is practically free.  You will likely be paying full replacement price price you are done in repairs.

  • What is the best way to make and organize home videos? Macbook Pro? iPad?

    I have a Sony Handycam HD camcorder and a macbook pro.  Right now, I'm creating home videos by dumping all raw video into iMovie, adding a date/time stamp and saving the video to an external hard drive.  Is this the best way for me to create and store these home videos with my current setup?  I also take some video with my iPhone and include them in the iMovie projects as well.  I want these videos to be around for a long time and I'm afraid I'm going to lose them since I've graduated from DVDs to actual .mov files.
    With that said, I would like to find a more streamlined approach.  Idealy, I would love to replace my macbook pro with an iPad and use the iMovie app to process all of my home videos and then save to iCloud or an external hard drive.  Is this possible? 

    Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.

    The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity.  There is a 12.5 mm thick  HDD that will fit some MBPs.  But I have not seen any of larger capacity. 
    Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs?    If so, I am interested.
    Ciao.
    Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.
