Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If the Trackpad on your Lenovo Thinkpad X201 laptop is unresponsive, broken, or faulty, follow this guide to replace it.
A trackpad, or touchpad, is a pointing device similar to a computer mouse, featuring a tactile sensor. A tactile sensor is a specialized surface that can translate the motion and position of a user's fingers to a relative position on the operating system that is then displayed on the screen.
Happy Fixing!

Before beginning the trackpad repair, make sure to power off your laptop and disconnect it from outside power sources, such as a wall socket.
