The cables (trackpad and keyboard) are both re-attached. I may have bent something in the keyboard cable when I was putting it back in, but it seems to be fine. The trackpad cable connector feels a bit loose, but I can't seem to get it in any better (it's all the way in). To be honest, I *just* tried smacking it. Before that I would just try clicking until it stopped. Perhaps whacking it bumped whatever was causing the problem back into place, but, knowing my luck, it'll probably pop back up later. I'll keep this thread updated as to the status of the problem. I wonder what Apple would have done about it back when it was under warranty…
