The one thing I would be interested in: Where can I get the screwdriver this person is using in step 15? By this I am not referring to the low quality tools that are advertised alongside the tutorial.
--> can answer my own question. This is it: http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Pro-Tech-Too...
Before going to the trouble and expense of removing the trackpad make sure you don't just have a problem with the battery. My trackpad was giving me fits by not responding or needing excessive pressure, etc. The only problem was that the battery was swollen and putting pressure up on the trackpad. Replaced the battery and the problem was solved.
I agree with Rich M - check the battery first! Swollen battery will impede the trackpad.
awesome instructions, thank you!
