Why my trackpad button is hard to push

My macbook trackpad is very hard to push and it hasn't physical-tap-sound anymore. It's very smoother than before and hard to push. It's happen suddenly and I can't bring it to apple store because I live in Iran and as you may know Apple hasn't any support center in Iran at all. So what should I do with my Macbook?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS X (10.0.x), Macbook Pro Retina ME294

Sounds like you may have a swollen battery, you should try to have his repaired as soon as you can, as it may cause further damage.

Maybe this could be some debris on the edge if the pad, you can try turning off the machine, disconnecting the power supply, and with a slightly damp soft cloth try pressing all the awy around and see if you can clean it out.


The hard to press track pad can quite offten be a swollen battery, and age sometimes has nothing to do with it. Sometimes a bad battery gets thru the inspection line.


Seeing as your MBP is new, I would take what ever steps you can to get it an Apple service center, as you have 14 days to exchange it for a different machine, or a refund.


You can try a SMC reset:

Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself, still sounds like a hardware issue.

All the best
