No I would recommend unplugging even after powering down machine, there is current still in the circuit can cause static damage to components if they come in contact with ur hand its much better to unplug battery to remove chance of such damage I mean yes there is still residual charge after unplugging the battery but much less probable to cause damage

I have a question. I LOVE you easy to follow instructions. I have an HP Pavillion 15-cs1xxx laptop on which the touchpad is not functioning correctly. I live in a high dust area and opened it up a week ago and cleaned it out thoroughly and reassembled. Some features now function but others do not. The rocker/click function is not working; the long side of the touchpad near me is pushed all the way down and it doesn't rock/click. I cannot right click with it nor highlight. After watching your video I went ahead and opened it back up but went a little deeper as you did in your video and took the actual pad out and cleaned around the edges; I did find the small computer connection lock was not down so I corrected that and reassembled it. Same problem exists; no rocker/click function (long closest to me is still down) and cannot highlight or right click. Suggestions? THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Followed this to fix a hp probook. Didn't even have to go as far as removing the touchpad, just slightly shifted if back into place and cleaned around the edges to get it working again. Thanks!

Not sure if I fully understand your question. Yes, most touchpads I know of make some sort of clicking sound when pressed although it may not be as pronounced as a key

I hope you don't mind if I post my solution. I have had to do this a couple times a year for the past two years. So people may want to try it before tearing into the laptop or paying to have it fixed. When my mouse pad gets stuck down and won't work, I use a Q-tip with a little alcohol on it and run it around the mouse pad. Then I use a scalpel tip and run the tip around the outside of the mousepad just barely going into the edge. Then I lift up the pad with the tip of the scalpel. Using the Q-tip one more time, I run it around the mousepad edge again. This works for my Dell. I think dirt and grime gets in around the mouse pad and causes the sticking. Good luck! I think you could also use a small suction cup like you put on glass windows to lift the stuck mouse pad also. I have not tried it yet but it has to be safer than a scalpel or razor blade.

Also, I would try this and see what's going on in there, but I'm so scared of taking the battery off, it's not like taking a lifeless peace of plastic, I'm sure I'll ruin something up on the battery

@@miss_B_ If the touchpad is stuck down then I would assume that something in there is stuck or broken. Yes, I would definitely open it up and inspect for damage. What is the exact model of your computer? We can try to find a disassembly video for your specific computer so you know exactly what to do

@@PC_Monkey it's MSI GF65 thin 9sexr .... It could be very well broken/stuck, because when I opened the box brand new, it was already like this, but I'm just really afraid of the battery removal, I've never done it and I'll most likely mess things up. Thanks for trying to help

@@miss_B_ If its brand new, I would just return it as its damaged if your afraid on opening it up. Also, if you open it up, there is a chance you could void the warranty

and how permanent is this fix? seems like the touchpad will get filled with gunk and dust again in about the same amount of time it did the first time... is there any more permanent way to fix it?

No, not really. Its just a design issue with this computer. You an try putting some sort of plastic covering over the touchpad area but that may interfere with the touch ability.

This repair process works on certain types of touchpads that are getting dirty to the point of affecting their click feature. If that is the issue with yours, then yes, this should work. However, if your actual touchpad is damaged or not working, you would have to replace it.

I have an Asus vivobook and my trackpad buttons don't work. You can click and hear the clicking but they wont do anything. The mouse and the fingerprint button work, it's just that the right and left click buttons won't work.

You can try reseating the ribbon cables for them. If that does not work, make sure your updates are all processed as seen here; kzread.info/dash/bejne/dniqlMmDdM3Mf7A.html. If that also fails to help, you may need to replace the part.

You may need to clean or replace the touchpad. Try unplugging it and then plugging it back in first from both ends of the ribbon cable.

Only thing I can do now is jam somthing to try get the click back bc I can't get them tools

Please, what about when water pours inside the touch pad and didn't respond anymore?

After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry?
