[SOLVED]Advice needed on trackpad issue

[gcain]

I remove the batteries from the newer MBPs fairly often, and have never had a problem.

Use a thin art spatular and pour a bit of IPA as you work along.

Then I use 3m double sided adhesive to stick the battery back in, or it rattles.

Try cleaning the edges first. I do it with a toothbrush and water, then suck it out with the vacuum cleaner. Don't use too much water of course.

Just wanted to say this was resolved. It was the freaking trackpad cable.

I see you resolved this, but it's worth mentioning as well that the ForceTouch trackpads have an incredibly light "click" anyway. I'm sure you know that already, especially if you resolved it, but they don't travel near as much as the pre-2015 models.
