Asus L406M Touchpad Replacement

Touchpads are a crucial part of any laptop, including your Asus L406M. If you're unable to move your cursor around or your cursor is moving erratically, your touchpad might need to be replaced.

A laptop's touchpad is the square device just belong your keyboard that acts as your computer's mouse. A faulty/damaged touchpad will lead to many issues such as:

• Freezing or Not Moving
• Being unable to scroll with two fingers or pinch-to-zoom
• Your cursor not tracking your finger correctly

Before replacing your touchpad, troubleshoot your touchpad by doing the following:

• Press the "Fn" key and test the touchpad again. In some laptops, the "Fn" key will re-enable the touchpad.
• Go to computer's settings, click on "Device", then click on "Touchpad". Confirm that your touchpad is turned on. If it's not on, switch it on and test the touchpad again.
• If the touchpad is still unresponsive, check and see if your device needs to be updated. In most cases, updating your drivers will resolve the issue.
• Check if your touchpad is dirty. If it is, gently clean your Touchpad using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Be careful! Too much liquid can cause more damage.

If the problems persist, this guide will help you replace your touchpad.

Before you get started:

• Use an external mouse as a quick fix until you're ready to get started.
• Power off your laptop and unplug it from its device.
