Hi everyone,
I installed a new SSD hard-disk Window 8 with UEFI boot yesterday after my old hard disk collapsed. I noticed that that the touchpad is not working and is insanely hot, especially above the IC on the left side of the touchpad (shown in an image below).
I checked the connection and cleaned the port of the touchpad connection into the motherboard but in vain.
Moreover, one of the USB port on the right is not working too. It seems that it has power as USB stick flashes but the laptop does not detect it. This happens although the next USB port is on the same connection to the motherboard!
Meanwhile, I have to disconnect the touchpad from the motherboard because it gets hot even if the laptop is not working.
Thanks in advance!
