Chosen Solution
Hi everyone, I am keen on the reusing/recycling principle so I am considering purchasing a second hand trackpad that has its glass shattered and wanted to know the type of glass I should be looking for in order to replace it. I’ve already seen that Apple does not offer spare parts for the trackpad, but I’d look elsewhere for this. I was wondering if anyone has any info about the type of glass used in a Magic Trackpad 2 as I could not find anything online. Thanks, Nadgob
However, as you can see, there is nothing to be found about the glass replacement for the Magic Trackpad.I figured there would be a lot of people like me who had this trouble waiting for a solution, so I contacted some glassmakers to make a sample and after replacing the glass myself, it worked great! I resurrected my Magic Trackpad! If you are still looking for it. Please click through to my home page or watch the replacement video I posted. You will find the answer here [invalid guide link]
I’ve never tried taking the glass off the sensor plate, I’m not sure if you can. Apple has made many of its products in a way that makes it almost impossible to repair without leaving gashes and leaving the device structurally weak if even that! If you can get the glass plate off I don’t think the glass is anything special. Do us a favor! Take pics! And create a guide on what you learned Contribute
