Macbook 13" retina trackpad stuck

My trackpad is stuck in the downer position, it doesn't "click up" again. I can still use my trackpad for tapping and it functions just like before but I cant click it so it goes down, it is stuck down there. Did anyone else have this problem, if so how did you fix it?

(To be clear, this is not the common software issue, this is pure hardware. The trackpad is stuck).


Solution 1:

In case anyone else is having the same problem out there, this may not be the best solution but it worked for me. My trackpad had been clicking just fine anywhere on it. Suddenly it would only press down in the left bottom corner. I simply, closed the laptop, flipped it over and slapped it hard in corresponding area where the trackpad is. I also lightly tapped it on all sides on a soft surface (my couch). Sure enough that did it. Been fine since for over a year now. I guess something must have been stuck underneath it.

Solution 2:

My first macbook, the normal unibody had this problem too, I fixed it by putting a folded post-it between the battery and the underside of the trackpad. As unmircea says, this is harder to do on a retina but still possible. If you are still under warranty I wouldn't risk it though.
