Battery draining fast and haptic feedback not working.

Hey,


I have a 13" MacBook Pro Retina early 2015. A few days ago I was working on a spreadsheet and then it suddenly crashed (black screen for several minutes). Once it finally started up again, the Haptic feedback had stopped working. After more use I have found that the battery is draining faster and when I close the lid from 100% charge over night, I come to it in the morning and it's well below 50% charge.

I believe I have reset the SMC, with no change. Updated the software to Mojave V10.14.

Has anyone else had this issue, or any ideas of a fix? Below I have the EtreCheck.

Thanks in advance.

Hi JNC247!

I understand that you're not receiving haptic feedback and your battery is draining quickly, and I'm happy to help. You can try resetting the NVRAM on the Mac:

Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac

You can also check the settings in System Preferences for haptic feedback:

Change trackpad settings

To adjust the pressure you need to click your trackpad, follow these steps.

  1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.
  2. Click Trackpad.
  3. Click the "Point & Click" tab.
  4. Find "Click pressure" and adjust the slider to your preference. Note that the sound of the click changes with the click pressure setting.

To turn off Force click, deselect the “Force Click and haptic feedback” checkbox. This will disable the functionality described in the Trackpad preferences pane.

A few of the examples of what you can do with a Force click only work if "Force click with one finger" is active. You enable or disable this in the "Point & Click" tab under "Look up & data detectors."

On Mac notebooks made before 2016, you can turn off the sound of your trackpad's click by selecting Silent clicking.

How to use the Force Touch trackpad
To address the battery issue, please start by reviewing this article and adjusting your settings accordingly.
