Thank you for your reply.
Apologies. I didn't realize you were not near an Apple store.
I understand you just want to buy the new trackpad.
Apple does sell spare parts, but unfortunately, things are not looking good,
It seems a new trackpad may be unobtainable.
Spare parts are available for 5 years from when Apple last distributed the product for sale.
Apple's website (link below) says that service providers cannot order parts for products whose sales were discontinued more than 7 years ago.

Hi svdmmanta,
Apple have a service and repair section online, where info. is available
https://support.apple.com/repair/products
Hope you get the answers you need there.
Cheers
Wow! I guess my only option is to buy an off brand. I am not happy about that; I had bad luck with an off brand battery once. Of course, Apple batteries are easier to get, so I am able to get one when I need it. I love my MacBook and can't afford to buy another one, that's why I keep looking for parts. Thank you so much for all the info.
You're welcome! Thank you for posting in the Apple Community, where some of us try to help each other.
Commiserations. Sorry about the lack of new spare parts.
Hope something turns up to help you solve the situation.
( Anyone out there have a broken mid-2011 Mac with an ok trackpad? / second-hand Apple trackpad?
Would it have to be a trackpad for that same model ?)
All the best,
That doesn't help because I live out of the country and not near an Apple store. The trackpad would need to be bought for installation by a local technician. Thank you.
Thank you and yes, I think it would have to be one for that exact model, but who knows?
