My Thinkpad is about 3 years old and one day I felt what I thought was dirt on the trackpad. I scratched it and the vinyl coating came off, now it has a nice big scratch across it! Under th coating it is nice and shiny, so I was thinking of removing the trackpad from the laptop, scraping the rest of the coating, and spraying on a new coating. I found basically this suggestion on another page, which has very dubious instructions. Has anyone ever tried this?
@enriquecido you could most certainly give that a try. After all, you got nothing to lose Use this guide Lenovo ThinkPad T580 Trackpad Replacement to work on it. I agree your link is not of any quality and I would suggest you remove it from your question since it could look a bit like spam.
