F1: FasCard Reader Touch Pad Replacement Guide

Required Hardware

Two versions of the touch pad replacement kit exist.  The installation of the button membrane is the same for both versions - the primary difference is in the design of the cover label.  

Type 1

This kit has been replaced by Type 2, below.  It is no longer available.

This kit includes a label to cover the screws on the FasCard reader.  The button membrane is pre-labeled.

Type 2

This kit includes a label that covers both the screws on the FasCard reader as well as the button membrane.  The button membrane is not pre-labeled.  The C-5052 label must be aligned correctly on top of the button membrane.

Recommended Tools

Phillips screwdriver	Rubbing Alcohol

Removing Old Touch Pad

1. Remove FasCard Reader from machine.
2. Place FasCard Reader on a clean working surface.

3. Remove two screws mounted on each corner of the main card reader board.
   

4. Tilt main board away from grey bezel, and lift it out.
   

5. Remove blue/silver stripe ribbon cable from wi-fi radio board. Gently pull up on cable to remove.
   

6. Remove the screw cover label, then remove the touch pad.
   

7. Clean the touch pad and cover label surface with rubbing alcohol to remove all adhesive residue.
   

Installing New Touch Pad

1. Fold the touch pad ribbon cable up as shown below. 
   
   
2. Peel off both protective backing pieces to expose the touch pad adhesive.
   
3. Insert the folded end of the ribbon cable through the bezel opening. Make sure the fold is facing down so the "up arrow" is on the left and "enter dash" is on right.
   

   1. If the button membrane replacement is C-5051 type, installation is the same but the C-5052 label must be applied in the correct alignment.  See images below for reference.
4. Connect ribbon cable back to wi-fi radio board, then put remaining components back together.
   Attach cover label after reader is re-mounted to machine.
