Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If you need to replace the trackpad of your Lenovo ThinkPad T495s, follow the steps in the guide below. Be aware that you will need to remove the battery before the trackpad. The trackpad does the same job as a mouse on a desktop computer does. You use the trackpad to control the mouse pointer that is displayed on the laptop screen.
