Locate the five (5) screws that support the touch-pad and remove them.

The screws may be covered by tape. If the tape is present, peel it so that the screws are exposed for removal.

Once the screws are removed and the tape is peeled back , the touch-pad should be able to be removed without any issues.

Finally, a new touch-pad can be installed. To re-assemble the laptop, follow the reverse order of the disassembly.
