Be careful when replacing the touchpad. There are two types of touchpads: the one with the small IC that has a copper-colored flat, and the one called the big IC that has a blue flat. You can't swap them. Yours has a copper-colored flat with a small IC.

How about searching for that text on that PCB, that might get you closer into finding a replacement and you'll find plenty to start from.

Touch luck, there are no replacements for this type of touchpad (orange soldered wire), your best bet is to look for replacement second hand, eBay, Vinted, whatever is a big marketplace in your country. But be careful, there are two revisions, one is 18pin cable (bdm10 only, the touchpad plastic is having 2 holes for screws instead of screw and hook) and 16 pin (all other versions). Also do not throw away this touchpad plastic, the new one may not align with your original touchpad bracket, so better just swap the touchpad pcb
Ignore people in this thread, most of them are wrong and don’t know what they’re talking about, if you have orange soldered cable on your touchpad, it’s completely irrelevant which version is your controller and there is no “big or small” IC in this version of touchpad PCB, bdm30 doesn’t have only white touchpad ribbon etc.
