Cost to replace trackpad on retina MBP?

[Unprocessed1]

Spilled a little water on my trackpad several days ago and the trackpad is acting erratically.

How much would a replacement typically run at the genius bar?

Very expensive. But honestly I don't know. It's cheaper to get the part from eBay and swap it yourself.

Actually, I think it might cost $199. It would be the same as a battery replacement. Since the batteries are glued into the case, the top case is replaced when this happens.

You should probably call Apple and find out for sure.

It should be around $200 if that is the only damage. I'm basing this on a rough estimate they gave me if my own issue turned out to be the trackpad on a cmbp. As I suspected, it was actually a swollen battery rather than the trackpad itself. If liquid made it to your logic board, it would be a lot more. Assuming you got lucky this time, consider keeping liquids as far away as possible.
