Lenovo P52. 'As new' about 2 years ago.

Over the last week the touchpad buttons packed in - the ones along the bottom (these are 'wired' to the touchpad unit) but also the top ones that are not - strangely the middle one of those three still works.

And over the last few days, the  touchpad itslef it failing and I have to tap it about a dozen times in different places - and it's getting progressively worse and I'm sure it'll probably fail completely in the next few days

No spills or anything. Help?!

Checking out YT for video, like this one...the top keys are part of the keyboard, and here a video on replacing the touchpad

As you can see by the video's, it's not rocket science to take laptop to pieces, so get yourself some parts ordered and crack on (or find  a local repair place to do it fo you)

or just use an external mouse, like a normal person.
