Einleitung

If your Acer Chromebook CB3-431-C5EX has cursor problems such as jittering, jumping around, or failing to recognize gestures properly, then it might be time to replace the trackpad. Out-of-date/missing drivers can sometimes cause trackpad issues, so you might want to check and see if this is the case before continuing. If you need to replace your trackpad, be sure to take extra care when disconnecting any cables or wires as they can be fragile.

Prior to beginning this repair, power off your device and unplug from the power adapter.

    • Working on your device while it is turned on may result in electric shock. Make sure to shut down and unplug your device before you begin.

    • Turn device over so the bottom panel is facing you.

    • Remove the eight 4mm Phillips #0 screws.

    • Remove the two 6mm Phillips #0 screws.

    There are two tabs on the battery opposite the connector side that need to be inserted into the retention slots or the battery won’t sit flat. Need to do this before reinserting the battery screws.

    Also, I found that #00 Phillips works best on the 4mm screws.
