[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1829685, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. Sometimes when the battery begins to swell (expand) it can affect the way the trackpad works. I suspect your MacBook may have a defective battery. That machine can not be operated from the USB-C charger alone - in other words from AC power without the battery. Also, the battery is not user removable or changeable without special tools and a heat gun. You can check the procedure at [url=http://www.ifixit.com]iFixit: The Free Repair Manual[/url] or take your MacBook to Apple and have them run diagnostics. The diagnostics are free at an Apple genius bar but the battery replacement if needed will be at your cost plus labor. [/QUOTE]
