Different keyboards are installed in the Lenovo X1 Carbon 8th Gen model series, depending on whether they are equipped with WWAN or WLAN. Please compare your keyboard with the pictures. If there is a deviation, installation is not possible.
This keyboard is supplied by the manufacturer without a touchpad.
Depending on the laptop manufacturer and model variant, touchpads are either screwed into the top case (keyboard housing) from behind with a few screws, but in some cases they are also glued in.
In the case of a glued touchpad, care should be taken if you want to reinstall it in your new topcase.
When removing a glued touchpad, the use of unsuitable tools can easily damage the circuit board and cause malfunctions or total failure of the touchpad.
