The case occasionally creaks, and the trackpad has started to feel slightly loose; but if the case is squeezed by the screw, it is all fixed.

I have Googled it, but Im really not sure what one to buy, hardly any actually specify that they will work on my laptop, and the ones that do cost a lot.

Literally all I want is a screwdriver that will allow me to tighten the screws.

If there is a good priced kit that costs slightly more than the screwdriver on its own, I may go for that.

I am looking for one in the UK, so please send me a link to one under 5 on eBayAmazons UK site.

Thanks Last thing, can I just tighten the screws I know they have locktite or something on them.

Okay, Ive always wondered if you could just screw them back in or if you needed new locktite or whatever Edit: That link bot found a UK Amazon link.

Im definitely not paying the equivalent of 50 for a screwdriver level 1 Apple Expert 1 point 6 years ago The term you are looking for is pentalobe screwdriver.

That begin said - the creaking case can be solved by removing the bottom case, cleaning carefully around where it seats, and putting it back together properly (do the top middle two, bottom middle two, middle sides, and then corners in a star pattern kind of thing).

The trackpad is not adjustable and reseating the bottom case wont help for that.

Ill make sure I get a Mac one I did take it to a Genius, who apparently did this.

Its not something they would take seriously, but it just annoys me.

If I lightly tap the trackpad (not click) it feels solid, like touching the case, if I tap the right side, but if I tap the left side, it makes a very quiet sound, like the trackpad surface, is slightly touching something else.

Its hard to explain but tl;dr it feels and sounds slightly different on the left side, like something is slightly loose.

The creaky case does appear to have kinda fixed itself over time, it never really happens randomly unless I purposely try and find the area.

So I make sure I pick it up evenly distributing the weight etc.

Then this trackpad issue just started annoying me, so I hoped that I could kill two birds with one stone.

If I squeeze the case, the trackpad does seem normal again, so I guess there is a chance.

Which is why I thought buying this screwdriver may be a good idea.

Sorry for the wall of text, not entirely sure why I felt the need.

So I wanted to give it a go myself haha View entire discussion ( 10 comments) More posts from the applehelp community Continue browsing in rapplehelp rapplehelp QA related to Apple hardware and software 82.6k Members 623 Online Created Jan 3, 2010 Join help Reddit App Reddit coins Reddit premium Reddit gifts about careers press advertise blog Terms Content policy Privacy policy Mod policy Reddit Inc 2020.
