After more than 15 years covering everything Apple, it’s with a heavy heart we announce that we will no longer be publishing new content on iMore and the iMore forums will be closing as of November 1st, 2024.
So for the mouse pad to work I gotta hold my fingers down on the pad before it will click or open anything? Does this have to do with battery or the sensitivity at all?
It's possible that the battery is swelling and pushing up against the underside of the trackpad. I've seen that on the older plastic unibody MacBook and MacBook Pro models. The Apple Genius Bar appointment is probably your best move... keep us posted on the outcome.
