Step 4

              Remove touchpad
  • Carefully remove the earth straps (Yellow) from the touch pad. I was able to simply stick them back down.
  • Remove the 3 screws (Red) and the touch pad lift out. I forgot to swap over te blue tabs that weren’t attached to the new touchpad, so probably best to remember. My photo wasn’t good enough quality to upload.
