Hi, new to the forum here.
I have a Sony Vaio that needs its touchpad replaced as the pointer freezes randomly and only moves if two fingertips placed together are used. I guess the larger area "releases" the pointer. I have received a replacement touchpad, but the old one refuses to budge, first one I have tried replacing. What is your recommendation, hot air to soften the glue, solvent such as alcohol, or just pry it off with a spludger? I am afraid of scratching the inner surface of the palmrest.
All the other touchpads I have done were screwed in, or it was less labor to replace the whole palmrest.
Thanks.
