silly 2015 mbp 13" situation today, no force touch (touchpad worked otherwise) and it only turned on intermittently with the touchpad connected... turns out this random capacitor on the bottom of the touchpad daughterboard was visibly burnt, and immediately crumbled into powder when i squished it with pliers. now it boots reliably and force touch is back?? not complaining, lol
also didn't realize these things' fans are fully off most of the time, afaik the airs are always spinning at low rpm? kind of neat
