Cracked Trackpad?


Perhaps this is a Fault Device?:

How did that Happen? Just curious. If it was on its own, then you might have a corroding LogicBoard --that would likely mean this might bis a faulty device. If found to be the case, Apple would work on it at their own cost, and you wouldn't pay anything for for fix (but that is Apple's call)..


Finding the Official Cost:

Take this in for a Genius Bar Appointment at your local Apple Store. Bring a proof pf purchase with you. There, it would be diagnosed, and you'd be provided with a cost.

"Trackpad Cracked on 2023 Macbook Air 15 inch: im honestly not sure how it happened. i woke up one morning and saw it cracked but it was in my bag and in a case. my dad bought this for me as a grad present as well, so i dont have proof of purchase technically. does the proof need to be a receipt or can it be the box? i dont think he has the receipt anymore either

Contact Apple Support for an Official Answer:

I had to send my Mac in for service 11 times during the days of COVID. I’ve had to bring my Macs in oh so many times for service. None of which I had to have a proof of purchase. Why? Because I purchased AppleCare. So, go here, and see if it is covered under any warranty:Find Information About your Warranty or AppleCare Plan - Apple Support



Apple would have the Official Answer:

These are just user-to-user forums. So, give Apple a call, show them what has occurred. You can take some photos, or open the Photos app and hover your phone’s iSight Camera over it while talking with them on speaker phone.

  • Why the Wait: Phone calls are taking a bit to go through at the moment, due to lots of calls. With the Coronavirus Pandemic, many are at home at the moment, with much time on their hands to contact Apple. So, just stay on the line, and you will get through :)
