+# Preparing the trackpad assembly
+
+Install the 5 screw inserts:
+
+- Set your soldering iron temperature to 200 degrees Celsius
+- Using the soldering iron, place the heated insert inside the hole
+- Apply little to no pressure, let the gravity do the work. Otherwise, you might push them too far
+- If the insert doesn’t fall into place, you can slowly increase the temperature, but don’t go over 300 degrees
+- Once the insert is 2/3 of the way in, stop
+- Flip over the print and gradually push it against a flat surface, to make the insert flush with the print
+-  Move the parts aside and let them rest, while they cool down

+
+Screw in the trackpad assembly. Tighten all 4 screws.

+When installing it, you will need to rotate the assembly and twist the cable. Be careful with it, and avoid fiddling with it as it can break easily.

+
+# Test the PCB
+
+This step is optional, but highly recommended.
+
