Guys, do we know the correct model number of the trackpad (and ribbon) here? And also where to source a trackpad and a ribbon? Seems to be a lot of different trackpads across the Asus range. I’ve got the pad and fixture, but the replacement ribbon I bought seemed too short… Am I missing a part of fitting it correctly?

My initial diagnosis of my UE40D5520 which rebooted at the splash screen was that the capacitors on the power board had popped. Apparently a common issue, and very easy to fix... You can easily buy online cheaply and replace like for like any of the popped ones with a couple of solder points on each. Take a photo first for their orientation, but usually they have a negative marking, and the short leg is negative too (double check though)

Be VERY careful NOT to pull off the part of the connector that is on the logic board! Mine now has only contact but no solder until I can get a small enough soldering iron and a less shaky pair of hands!
