Hello,
I would like to ask you one thing - do you recall if the TouchPad can be adjusted (position wise) before srewing down? I have this problem where the right side on the TouchPad is too close to the palmrest (between spacebar and the TrackPoint buttons), and when I click the right physical button it collides with it, providing not so great using experience. So I was wondering it is posiible to losen the screws and move it back a little.
Is it possible? Thanks in advance for answear.
Do I have to reinstall drivers after this? I replaced the touchpad but now two fingers scrolling is not working. Any ideas?
Do I have to remove the keyboard to replace the touchpad for thinkpad t450?
It does not seem necessary when following the instructions above!
Will post here again to warn people. Be very careful when removing the flat flex glue cable that attaches to the motherboard. The clamp can easily be damaged by just manipulating the cable. Make sure to open the clamp first before removing or the clamp may break and will not be able to be replaced other than replacing the main board!
