Introduction
Use this guide to replace a trackpad on your Asus Chromebook C300SA-DS02 that has stopped registering input or registers incorrect input. The trackpad is a part of the keyboard assembly and is fairly easy to access.

Lift the keyboard and slide it gently towards you.

I appear to have FIVE of the smaller screws. The four securing the near edge and the one in the center are smaller than the four securing the far edge and the left and right sides. Either your diagram is wrong, or someone screwed mine together incorrectly.

Mine is the same way — six long screws, five short ones. The screw paths seem to correspond accordingly.
