    I have a XMG P724 based on Clevo P370SM-A and have an issue with the touchpad as it completely not responding. The touchpad as the touchpad buttons are not functional. I already checked everything from the software and driver side so i suppose something is wrong with the touchpad itself. As i'm a bit affraid to break something while disassembling it i wanna ask if there is a disassembly manual or video for this specific device or maybe something similar based on a very similar model. Don't want to break more than i can repair.

    To get at the touchpad you'll need to remove the screws on the bottom of the laptop to open the case.

    You'll need to remove the screws holding the motherboard to get access tot he touchpad.

    The touchpad is likely affixed to the case with double sided goo that keeps it in place.

    Apply firm pressure to remove and reinstall in reverse order.

    A plastic spudger will do best with prying that sort of thing.
