Introduction

The touch pad is the laptop's on-board mouse analogue, and as such is important for the laptop's operation. To remove and replace it you will need the proper, specific replacement part.

    • Ensure your computer is completely OFF before starting this guide.

    • Remove the eight 6 mm screws using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    • Remove the two 11 mm screws using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.

    I have to know how long the pins are in the clips that hold the hinges in place. I don’t want to destroy my tablet.

    • Pry the back cover off by inserting the plastic opening tool at the hinges and wedging it between the Back cover and the body.

    • Follow along the back edge with the plastic opening tool, lifting the cover off as you go. It is normal to hear snapping/clicking sounds as the back cover is held on by clips.

    • Remove the cover.
