I really enjoyed Your article ! I'm about to replace the touch pad, i got a Vita recently but it has some Heavy scuffs. I've seen the back touch pad has adhesive attached on it. I bought a replacement On Ebay. I'm not sure if the replacement has adhesive with it. If it doesn't what would be your guys Thoughts on what i should use?

I can't get pass Step 1. I can take out the bottom left screw of the rear touchpad but I can't take out the other 3. I bought a used Vita and there is a screw that turns but does not gout up. What should I do?

In the part that remains after complete disassembly, what are the two double pins at the top for, which later come into contact with the motherboard? I already have a new panel, but it has absolutely nothing except this one contact in the lower right part ...

Those are wifi antennas. You can get it out put it in to the new panel.
