Locate the large black cable on the right side connecting the touchpad to the mainboard.

On the mainboard side of the cable, there is a large loop with a orange spot. Insert your finger through the loop and pull up.

It is not recommended to remove the touchpad cable from the touchpad side unless the touchpad or touchpad cable is being replaced, as this side is more fragile.

There should be little resistance when removing the cable. Avoid excessive force which may damage the cable.

You can now safely remove the input cover from the laptop.

During reassembly:

Remember to connect the new touchpad cable to the mainboard before placing the new input cover on the laptop.
