Follow this guide to replace the trackpad (aka ClickPad) in your Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 laptop.
Lenovo sometimes refers to this part as a "ClickPad," and several vendors (i.e. Chicony, Sunrex, Transimage) produce their own variants. Keep this in mind when purchasing a replacement.
You may need a replacement "sponge" for your new trackpad. Lenovo's part number for this is 5M21L98590. Use the original trackpad as a reference for sponge position.
