| [* black] Moving on, we direct our attention to the trackpad. | |
| [* black] Unlike the newer [guide|111384|MacBooks Pro|stepid=213249|new_window=true], which have first-step replaceable trackpads, this trackpad shares a cable with the keyboard, which is pinned under the logic board. | |
| [* icon_note] Looks like any trackpad repairs will have to go through logic board removal first. | |
| [* black] As the trackpad comes out, we can't help but think of a [http://static1.squarespace.com/static/57bc4302f5e23115c191f016/57bfb747f5e231226986071c/5847d9e0bebafb62f7f857b9/1481116748056/TIE+Cockpit.jpg?format=1000w|certain|new_window=true] [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Advanced_x1|TIE fighter|new_window=true]... | |
