The heat should ONLY be applied to the under side of the pad. If using a heat gun though, take extra care not to overheat the plastic and warp it. It is just held in by some strong double stick tape that can be loosened with a heat gun. And as for cparrish saying that the trackpad is glued in is not entirely true. This dimple pad is pressed against a raised plastic cross ( + ) on the plastic under the trackpad. This "spring" that they are talking about is a metal dimple switch pad, and if that were actually bad, no amount of alcohol would fix it. Anyways, to kind of comment on cparrish's post, I was also told by a Samsung support person that there was a spring under the trackpad that could be cleaned. I did it without a heat gun, but I would imagine that with a heat gun it would be a ton easier. I took one of them apart today and got the entire trackpad assembly out. Samsung is no longer covering these under our warranty. I have about 15 of these at the moment that have the same issue. I stared it back up and the erratic behavior was gone, and the clicks returned. As I had the back cover off, I also pressed up from the bottom and was able to get to the edge for better cleaning.Īfter cleaning the dust and hair from the inside, I replaced the battery and back cover. I put a little on a cotton swab (not heavy), and went around the edge of the touchpad. I too did not have any alcohol, but did have some OOPS!. I went to google this time and added "no click" to my search and found your problem/solution. I have a second Chromebook second here I realized the real difference was the lack of a clicking sound when pressing. no click and touchpad had limited movement. _"not enough room for this part of response"_ This seems more like just cleaning it from items that come of you skin over time. Much easier than removing the touchpad cover and realigning. Thank you this should be added to list of support questions.
