Introdução
If your Chromebook’s cursor does not move or you cannot click, this guide will show you how to quickly and safely replace the touchpad of your Asus Chromebook CX-1500 CN.
The touchpad is not a vital component, and one could substitute a mouse for the touchpad. However, replacing the touchpad could restore some of the portability lost by carrying around a mouse with you. You will need a #1 Phillips screwdriver and, optionally, an iFixit opening tool.
