Tricking the trackpad sensor

[XooP]

I now have more MacBook Air working Logic boards than I have cases to put them in. I was thinking it would be cool to make some sort of "Mac mini"/media center out of them but I don´t want to put a trackpad on there just to relax the fan. Is there a way to trick the thermal sensor circuit?

No, but you can rip off just the PCB from a dead trackpad and connect that.

Ok, thank you. Unfortunately I have tossed all non working trackpads in the bin
