If the cursor on your MacBook is frozen, here are a few things you can try:

 

1. Check if your trackpad or mouse is clean and dry. Sometimes debris or moisture on the trackpad can cause the cursor to freeze. Clean your trackpad or mouse and try again.

 

2. Check if your MacBook's battery is charged. Sometimes a low battery can cause the cursor to freeze. Connect your MacBook to a power source and try again.

 

3. Try resetting the SMC (System Management Controller). Shut down your MacBook, hold down the Shift, Control, and Option keys on the left side of the keyboard, and then press the power button. Release all keys at the same time and then turn on your MacBook.

 

4. Try resetting the PRAM (Parameter RAM). Shut down your MacBook, press the power button, and immediately hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys. Keep holding down the keys until you hear the startup sound twice. Then release the keys and let your MacBook start up normally.

 

If none of these solutions work, you may need to take your MacBook to an Apple Store or authorized repair center for further assistance.
