    Since some time the 2 buttons of the toughpad don't work anymore. I guess there is probably dust or something else which caused the problem.

    can someone tell me how to open the touchpad up (without me breaking it...)

    Thanks

    I wouldn't open it because you may just break it. The only way to get into it is to open the whole thing up. Also I dont think dust is messing up your touchpad, it could be a broken/loose connection to the board.
