Where do i buy the replacement touch pad
Very precise and clear. Thank you.
very clear instructions and photos. It was Easy, as described! One repairer had advised I buy a new Chromebook, bought an unused touchpad for £11. It took me a bit longer than the estimated 15 minutes, but this was the first time I’ve ever had the back off a laptop and attempted a repair/replacement, so took loads of photo’s on the way and took my time. I’ll definitely consider another DIY repair in the future.
