Title: Troubleshooting a Non-Clickable Touchpad on an HP Laptop

Introduction:

Hello, Simon here! Today, I’m going to troubleshoot an HP laptop where the touchpad’s left and right clicks are not functioning. Let’s find out why and how to fix it.

Process:

1. Accessing the Laptop’s Internals:
   • Use a metal prying tool to remove rubber stoppers located at the top left and right corners of the laptop’s underside.
   • Use a Phillips screwdriver (1.5 millimeter) to remove the screws hidden beneath the stoppers and additional screws around the laptop’s base.
2. Opening the Laptop:
   • Gently pry open the back cover. Be patient and careful not to crack the plastic.
3. Examining the Battery:
   • Observe the battery area, located below the trackpad.
   • In this case, the battery is swollen, causing pressure on the back of the trackpad and making clicks difficult.
4. Removing the Faulty Battery:
   • Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the four screws securing the battery.
   • Carefully lift out the swollen battery.
5. Replacement and Recommendations:
   • Recommended battery model: HT03XL (alternatively, check the specific model number on the battery).
   • Purchase links for the replacement battery will be provided in the video description.
   • Note: Check shipping restrictions for Lithium-Ion batteries to your location.
6. Reassembling:
   • Once the new battery is installed, reassemble the laptop by securing the battery with screws and reattaching the back cover.
   • Ensure all components are aligned correctly and the cover snaps back into place.

Conclusion:

A non-clickable touchpad on this HP laptop was due to a swollen battery exerting pressure from underneath. Replacing the battery should resolve the issue and restore normal touchpad functionality. If you find this video helpful, please like and subscribe for more tutorials.
