Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th Gen Mouse Pad Replacement

はじめに

If your Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th Generation doesn’t allow the user to navigate the screen with the mousepad or click on items on the screen, use this guide to replace the mousepad (also known as a trackpad).

The mousepad uses a ribbon cable to send the information to the motherboard. A loose ribbon cable connection will cause the same issues like a broken mousepad.

Before using this guide, inspect the ribbon cable connection for a loose or non-existent connection, which has the possibility of making the mousepad dysfunctional. Be sure to fully reassemble the computer before testing the mousepad.

Before beginning, make sure to power off your computer completely and disconnect from any external power source.

Unscrew the nine captive screws on the bottom cover of the laptop using a Phillips #1 screwdriver.
The screws do not fully come out of the back cover, so there is no need for screw management.
There are a few small clips around the edge that you may need to pry at to free them. An opening pick may be helpful for this process.
