Asus W2W-A1 Touchpad Replacement

Step 1 Keyboard




• Remove the battery, then unscrew the 7 3 mm Phillips screws behind the battery. Make sure they go in separate, organized piles.
• Unscrew the 2 4 mm Phillips head screws by the battery.
Step 2

• Remove the panel above the keyboard with a plastic spudger.
Step 3
• Once the panel is removed, use the spudger to pry out the keyboard.
• Do not fully remove, for the keyboard is still attached to the ribbon cable.
Step 4
• Detach the ribbon cable from the keyboard by pulling the end of the ribbon cable that is attached inside of the laptop.
• Be sure to detach from the root rather than from near the middle. It should slide out with ease.
• Now you can fully remove the keyboard from the laptop.
Step 5 Front Panel
• Place your fingers or a spudger between the front panel and the rest of the laptop.
• Pull upwards gently to detach the side you are grabbing.
• Repeat on the other side until the panel easily peels off the laptop.
Step 6 Touchpad
• The touchpad should be loosely attached to the rest of the laptop by a ribbon cable.
Step 7
• Gently pull the ribbon cable out of its socket attached to the touchpad.
• You are now able to remove the touchpad.
