Use this guide to replace the TrackPad in your Lenovo ThinkPad T480s.

The TrackPad (also known as a touchpad) translates finger gestures, such as swiping and clicking, to computer actions like dragging and scrolling, similar to how a mouse functions. If the TrackPad is not responding to any gestures or if your gestures are behaving erratically, your TrackPad may be faulty. Before attempting to replace the TrackPad, visit Lenovo’s troubleshooting manual for diagnosing TrackPad-related issues.

If you need to perform a replacement, make sure to disable the internal battery, power down your device, and disconnect from any external power sources before you begin.

Thanks! Worked.

Drew - Contestar

do you have a part number for the replacement trackpad?

Adam S - Contestar

Hi Adam S, I did a search by the touchpad SKU and a general search by the make and model of the laptop but it didn't come up. Have you tried contacting Lenovo? It's possible they might have the part number even if they don't sell the part, but then you might be able to find it on the secondary market. This might be a good place to start: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solut.... I hope this helps!
