Remove the keyboard:
a
Remove the two keyboard screws.
NOTICE: The keycaps on the keyboard are fragile, easily dislodged, and time-
consuming to replace. Be careful when removing and handling the keyboard.
b
Slightly slide the keyboard toward the back of the computer, and then
lift the keyboard only enough to hold it up and slightly forward to
allow access to the keyboard connector.
c
To release the keyboard cable from the keyboard connector on the
system board, rotate the plastic bar on the keyboard connector to the
front of the computer.
NOTICE: To avoid scratching the palm rest when replacing the keyboard, hook the
tabs along the front edge of the keyboard into the palm rest, and then press on the
right edge near the top to snap the keyboard into place before replacing the two
screws.
