Hi @Nikhil1111,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be glad to help you!
It's understandable that you want to take the best care of your HP Laptop - 15s-du1065tu, especially since it means so much to you. The peeling of the trackpad coating can happen over time due to usage, cleaning products, or environmental factors. Here are some steps you can take to address this issue and prevent further damage:
1. Stop Further Peeling:
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: If you've been using any cleaners or disinfectants on the trackpad, stop using them immediately, as they can damage the coating. Use a soft, slightly damp microfiber cloth instead.
- Use Gentle Touch: Be mindful of how you use the trackpad, and try to minimize any vigorous rubbing or pressing in the affected area.
2. Protect the Trackpad:
- Use a Trackpad Protector: Consider purchasing a trackpad protector or a thin film designed for laptops. These are usually clear adhesive films that can be applied over the trackpad to prevent further peeling and protect the surface.
- Apply a Temporary Cover: If a trackpad protector is not immediately available, you can use a clear screen protector cut to the size of the trackpad as a temporary solution.
3. Regular Maintenance:
- Keep the Trackpad Clean: Regularly clean the trackpad with a soft, dry cloth to remove any oils or debris that could contribute to further wear.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Keep liquids and excessive moisture away from the trackpad to prevent additional damage.
Taking these steps should help protect your laptop's trackpad from further damage. If the peeling continues to worsen, it may be worth consulting HP Phone Support or an authorized HP service center to explore the option of replacing the trackpad
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
