Asus Q504UA-BHI5T13 Touch-pad Replacement

Introduction

This repair would be needed if the laptop is no longer reacting to touch input, missing clicks, or if either mouse button is not functional. When removing the wires that connect the touch-pad to the motherboard be careful to use a plastic opening tool to protect against damage.
