    • Using the Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the two screws holding the circle pad in place.

    • Be sure to keep these screws separate from the bottom cover screws, the circle pad screws are slightly longer and only compatible with the circle pad.

    • Lift the circle pad out of its place to expose the ZIF connector.

    • Take the new circle pad assembly and insert the cable back into the open ZIF connector and close it using the spudger.

    • Ensure the internal component of the circle pad is correctly oriented with a small screwdriver or spudger.

    • Gently place the new circle pad back into its place and secure with the screws.

    • We had to try this step a few times before we were able to orient it correctly. Try to make sure that the circle pad does not move the internal assembly once it is inserted.

2 of my motherboard screws can’t open with my newly ordered philips 00 screwdriver. the screws insides look like circles rather than crosses.

Thanks for the guide! I needed to replace the internal component of the circle pad as well, as the rubber pad came off mine. @thirtyninester 's comment on Step 8 helped! Thanks to that comment as well!

Help! I'm stuck on Step 5. Upper leftmost screw refuses to come out and I can't tell whether I've worn down the screwhead or the screwdriver. Removal advice please. Otherwise my only recourse may be to replace the entire system. Just transfer everything datawise and be done with it. It'd be a shame if I had to admit I spent $90+ on parts & tools for nothing just for it to come to this. And I don't even want to think about how much a new unit will cost on the secondhand market. I'll be lucky to find one at it's original MSRP.

Hey,

you could try to use a slightly larger screwdriver and see if the screw comes out. Otherwise you have to drill the screw out which is probably still better/cheaper than replacing everything. Hope this helps!
