Requirements:

A soft underground
– You could use a towel
A container to put the screws in
– Make sure you don’t lose the screws
Touchpad
Screwdriver
Spudger (or a similar plastic tool)

Put the laptop upside down on a soft underground.

This is needed to prevent scratches on the laptop’s screen lid. Then, remove all the screws with the screwdriver.

Take the spudger and put it between the bottom case and the hinge.

Gently apply pressure to the hinge. Do this on both sides. You can then carefully remove the bottom case entirely.

Remove the battery temporarily.

To remove the battery, remove its four screws and disconnect the battery connector from the motherboard.

There is no glue under the battery, so you can just take it out after removing the screws.

Lift up the cable holder on the touchpad.

Disconnect the FFC cable from the touchpad.

Remove the FFC cable that connects the touchpad with the motherboard entirely.

Remove the 3 touchpad screws.

Put your nails behind the gaps and push the metal bars down with your thumbs. Lift up the touchpad to remove it.

Put the new touchpad, the belonging FFC cable and the battery back in place.

Install the bottom case by placing it back in the right position.

Gently press the part on all sides.

Make sure that the bottom case fits snugly on all sides.

Use the screwdriver to install the screws back in place.

This was the final step, you are ready to use your laptop again.

Well done!
