Introduction

Some potential problems may include the touchpad being disabled or the touchpad driver being outdated or missing. To ensure that you are not experiencing any of these problems, check out our troubleshooting guide for an unresponsive touchpad.

If you want to replace your touchpad because it’s damaged, then continue with the replacement guide! You will need an opening tool, a precision bit driver, and a magnetic pickup bit.
