Use this guide to replace your ASUS VivoBook S400C’s trackpad.

The trackpad is used to navigate and click on items in the Chromebook via the cursor, similar to the mouse on a desktop computer. A malfunctioning trackpad will not respond to your touch or is slow to respond.

We recommend reviewing the device’s troubleshooting page for other solutions, such as cleaning the touchpad, prior to replacing the touchpad, as Asus chose to make replacement on this model particularly difficult by requiring removal of the motherboard to take out the trackpad.

Power off and unplug your computer before beginning the replacement.
