Track Pad problem end 2008 Mackbook Pro

Hi all

I was wondering if someone could help me,

I have a mackbook 2008 end pro works great, however I have a problem with my track pad, which is a gift from my head in. IM using my mac now fine no problem however when I stop and start it upward a day later the touchpad is not responding. What I do is taken to the back of the case where the battery is and remove the 8 screws, I see that the ribbon cable is constantly of the touchpad, so I need to keep undoing the screws and re connect which is a pain. My question is how I g to get one of these and are they easy to set up. How do I know that this will not happen?

Of which detaches, attached photos I reconnect

I hope someone could help me on this issue as its been done for centuries and is such a pain.

Thank you is all

To replace this cable, you must replace the trackpad itself.

This can be a painful process because you almost remove all to remove the trackpad. I guess that there is a way to fix the cable, so it's not unplugged.

I use ifixit.com all the time to fix a MacBook Air at my school.

Here is the link to replace your MacBook Pro trackpad. And also to buy the Trackpad.

It is currently out of stock, but you can warn you when it comes.

Good luck

  • test hardware mid 2008 mac pro-

    My mid summer 2008 mac pro came with Leopard installed - and I upgrade to Snow Leopard.

    I know for sure that the Snow Leopard hardware test worked by rebooting with the button held down - D but somewhere in the updates of apples - it doesn't work anymore - help on the mac said "If your computer does not restart in Apple Hardware Test restart it using the DVD or USB that contains the Apple hardware test" no clue as to what they mean - what is the dvd provided with the mac - or a DVD that came with Snow Leopard?

    Don't know why my mac has problems with reboots - but, I have a circa 2002 Studio Display, which has 2 usb ports.   I moved my keyboard aluminum to a port on the pro to a port on the display (another port is my Wacom pad - I prefer to use their pen, rarely use the mouse on the keyboard)

    I stop after use that I use only one or two hours per day.    Has no up-to-date software because Apple has stopped selling on media - and has sort of missed the fact that sometimes people jump over a version simply because as its too much headache for update annually.

    If you do not have the original installation diskettes including Apple Hardware test yo can download it here. Make sure that yo select your Mac model.

  • 8 GB DIMM modules for early 2008 Mac Pro

    I see that OWC is now selling the 8 GB DIMMs for early 2008 Mac Pro (8-core, 3.2 GHz). This leads to the potential total RAM up to 64 GB.

    Anyone has any experience of the use of these, or potential problems?

    Thank you!

    I would call OWC and ask them. I remember not only here posts on this topic.

    However. I myself would buy a chance 2009-2012 in the place and level it. These Mac Pro are the most capable and reliable and 8 GB sticks are 1/3 of the cost of those of 2008.

    Thank you, Wayne...

    Hello Wayne

    In front of me, I have Satellite P500 and I use it almost 10 months now without a single update. What I'm updating are important updates from Microsoft. More than that and so far I didn't notice a single hardware or software problem.
    After reading your ad m a little confused.

    As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any DVD for that laptop, not any kind of pilot DVD so please be so kind and tell me which DVD driver is and who has created and offered this DVD.

    original is Win7 64 bit OS (original image of recovery Toshiba) preinstalled on this P500?

  • The display on my 2008 Macbook Pro went dark. Can I connect to a Mac monitor no?

    View on 2008 MacBook Pro has been dark. I can connect the computer to a Mac monitor no?

    Sure. If the computer problem, it is with the LCD screen or the backlight, you should be able to use it plugged in the external display. If the problem is with the graphics card will not help the external display. Your computer requires a dongle to connect to the screen and you must get the correct key for display - VGA or DVI. Determine what type of port the display and buy the appropriate mini-Display dongle

  • Can I use stock RAM since the mid-2012 MBP aluminium end-2008 MB?

    This is my first post so I apologize if it is not posted in the right place.

    I have a late 2008 aluminium MacBook (2.0 GHz) with 2 GB of RAM and a mid-2012 MacBook Pro (2.5 GHz) with 4 GB of RAM.

    I want to upgrade the RAM of these two laptops, but in the most effective way possible. I wanted to buy an upgrade to 8 GB for my Macbook Pro for mid-2012, then use 4 GB of this machine to upgrade my end-2008 aluminium MacBook.

    Is it possible to use the RAM from mid-2012 MacBook Pro aluminum end-2008 MacBook? Would be great, if so.

    Thank you!

    Nope, totally different form.

  • Track Pad evil, mysterious symbols?

    I'm having some problems with my new computer and I can't find help, hope you guys can help.

    I have a problem when I accidentally hit some keys (I'm a typer sloppy) and I get these weird symbols on my keybord (the ones in blue and any combination of keys that I press, I can't reset it unless I restart my computer.

    (Photos)

    The second problem I have now is with my track pad. I have a bit of light on it (you can see at the bottom of the image, under the keyboard in the 2nd picture) and it lights up (orange) and I get this litle sign on my screen that fades, he has an image of a hand pointer to the block of follow-up with a red line horizontally across the image.

    After which appears, my track pad locks and I cannot use it at all, but the keyboard works (I have to restart my computer to get the track buffer to work).

    Please help me, I can't find anything on the internet.

    Hello

    Symbols in blue can be activated by pressing the fn key - the next time this happens, try pressing the fn button to see if that makes switch to the normal keyboard input.

    About the touchpad, the Orange light you see come (and disable the touchpad) are probably caused by double tapping the upper-left corner of the touch pad.  Double tapping this new area should toggle the Touchpad on.

    Kind regards

  • Cintiq 21UX DTZ-2100 Compatible with end 2011 Macbook Pro?

    As much as I hate to say it, for the sake of someone else who has this problem, I'll answer my own question. I talked to a representative WACOM today and they asked if I'd handed the switch at the rear of the CINTIQ to DVI mode or if it was the VGA mode. Of course, it is VGA. After I hit the switch of the CINTIQ worked perfectly.

  • How can I switch from OSX Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my end 2011 MacBook Pro?

    How to move from OS X Lion 10.7.5 to El Capitan on my end 2011 MacBook Pro? I get an error 'install the distribution of the error signed by apple. I'm sure I need first to switch to something else, but I have no idea where to start.

    1. check all your applications to ensure compatibility with ElCapitan.

    When those you want to keep (as possible) have a compatible update: you can update after installation.

    2 ElCapitan performs better with more than 4 GB of Ram, although in very low load systems, it runs on 2 GB.

    3. your hard drive doesn't have to be "nearly complete."

    4. go in the Appstore and download ElCapitan (the download comes in your Applications folder)

    The installer is removed after installation, so if you like to keep a copy before starting the installation.

    5. install all applications updated.

    Hi Eltgen

    Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what the problem is on that path. If I understand you well you have built in a new floppy drive, because the old one was faulty. Am I wrong?

    It will be interesting to know is the new part already used. Perhaps is the new one also defective. I hope that a little light is on if you put the disc inside.

    Get only the memory of a place that specify that it will work with your model of Mac and will refund your money if it does not work. Macs are picky about the memory and just match record does not always work. Here are a few places:

  • How to replace the hard drive with an SSD on a model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286

    Hello

    I would like to replace the hard drive on my model of end 2011 MacBook Pro 15 inch, A1286 with a disk solid state drive (SSD). First of all, I would like to know if this is possible. Second, what is the best way to do it? I'm under the Yosemite OS if that makes a difference.

    Here are some technical details of my current system:

    -MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2011 model A1286

    -OS yosemite

    -16 GB of memory/RAM

    -Currently using stock HD

    All instructions step by step would be helpful with what software should I use to make backups of my current operating system (e.g., SuperDuper). I would also like to know what tools or material I need like type of screwdriver, cables to transfer data to the SSD, etc.. My goal is to not have to reinstall each app one by one on the SSD, but if that's the only way to do it then it's okay.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    You can see instructions OWC here. Tools are mentioned in the discussion (I used a plastic knife picnic with the stronger edge somewhat blunt for nylon pry tool). I suggest you invest in one of these external fences. Install the SSD in who and clone internally externally with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper. Then move the external drive of the internal drive after the start of the SSD in the external to confirm the operation.
