I have a Macbook Pro and had a damaged trackpad replaced. The new one is super, super sensitive to the touch. Close proximity (not even touching) causes things to open. Is there anyway to 'dumb' down the sensitivity ? Is this a common issue with trackpad replacements ?
thanx,

You are welcome. Probably a long shot, but can't hurt.
Restart the computer holding down the command - option/alt - P - R keys before the gray screen appears. Continue to hold until you hear the startup chime for the second time. You may need to do this 2-3 times.
Try a SMC reset. The article covers when this is required, but doing this will not affect anything.

Try going to System Preferences/Accessibility/Mouse & Trackpad to see if adjusting the settings there helps.
Thanx for the input Eric, but I've already "played" with the 'trackpad' adjustments to no avail.

Hi Eric,
Thank you sooooo much. The NVRAM instructions "did the trick". The oversensitivity was driving me nuts. I appreciate your help and prompt reply.

You are welcome. I'm glad it worked.
