I thought the same thing, but I tackled the job on my own. What the hell, it's already broken. What can you ruin? It's not hard; you can do it. This was the second HP laptop I had to do. Make sure it is on a clear desk or table. Need a tray or bowl, or sheet of paper for tiny screws. Be careful keeping an eye on which screws go where in different sizes. Lap top folded place bottom up. Gently take the screws out and place them in a place that remembers where they are from. One laptop had screws under that rubber strip, which had to peel off. It doesn't go back on after the job, but it doesn't affect the laptop's working. Screws out, gently pry the lid up with a tiny screwdriver. It works best if you start from behind the hinge; it takes more force than you think. Could you take a photo with your phone to reference how to go back together? It's a flat silver bar that holds on the touchpad on the frame; please remove that. Wire ribbons are clipped on, a little clamp flips up, and the end of the ribbon pulls out. Could you check UA-cam on how? Top edge of touchpad just taped on, gently pull up tape off back of touchpad self. Do it in reverse with a new touchpad. Sandpaper the edges of the new or even old touchpad because the binding of those edges in the laptop hole makes the touchpad hang up. It may not need a new pad; sandpaper the old plastic edges on the old one a little at the steal bar half-apart stage. If you buy a touchpad, use something other than Amazon; they always send the wrong part. Some small laptop part sites have new original parts at better prices and send you the right ones.
