Remove the trackpad from your MacBook AIr 11" Late 2010.

Remove the following ten screws:

Two 8 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws

Eight 2.5 mm 5-point Pentalobe screws

Use the flat end of a spudger to pry both short sides of the battery connector upward to disconnect it from its socket on the logic board.
-
Bend the battery cable slightly away from the logic board so the connector will not accidentally contact its socket.

Use the tip of a spudger to pry up the retaining flap on the trackpad data cable ZIF connector.

Gently slide the trackpad ribbon cable out of the ZIF connector.

I did it! Replaced the trackpad after the MacBook Air took a dive from a stand, which fortunately just shattered the trackpad's glass. Thanks for the easy to use instructions!
Just one note on step 8: I had to use a PH000 (triple 0) instead of the double 0 - almost destroyed one of the screws before realising.
Best regards,

The trackpad from my macbook air would not click anymore. The pointer still worked, i could still tap and hoover around.
My guess was that something fell between the trackpad and the housing.
And I was right, it was a bread crumb or else of a little seed.
While following this guide, I saw that a little magnet underneath the unibody is lifting the trackpad up again, after being pushed down. Right in that tiny space was the little bugger :)
I'm with Stefan, about his comment by step 8. I actually did destroy one screw (there sat really, really tight) and had to use brute force with a pincer and a tip of WD-40 to loosen it. It seems like Apple took that into account, since there are enough to leave one out :)
I had the same issue, non-clicking mouse, and a dis-assembly & light clean also sorted me out. Thanks everyone!

Replacement went well - iFixit guide marvellous as usual and replacement trackpad performs perfectly. So good to resurrect
the trusty MB Air!
