Hi, I just tested with my T480, and the replacement looks exactly like this T580 guide, and is very easy in fact.

Open the shell, remove the battery (3 screws), see 3 of the 4 screws of the trackpad.

The fourth one is below the black plastic that you can see on the guide, and you can just lift it up. So you can move from step 11 to the end, the 4 screws are in fact directly accessible and changing the trackpad takes 1mn.

I don’t think I have a special T480 model, so if you are frightened by this guide, don’t hesitate to open yours to look… you may have to spend only 5 to 10mn on this operation :)

Hi Den, thank you for letting me know the procedure can be simplified. I appreciate the reference to the T580 guide too! We always strive to make better guides :)

According to the T480 Hardware Maintenance Manual page 84 "1160 Trackpad and trackpad cable" only the following steps need to be performed to remove the trackpad:

- "1010 Removable battery" on page 64

- 1030 Base cover assembly" on page 65

- 1040 Memory module" on page 68

This is much easier than the steps described here.

Thanks Den and John! I finally got a chance to edit the steps. It's not perfect because I wasn't able to reshoot the photos but I removed the prerequisite guides that were unnecessary. I hope this helps.
