Place the laptop in the upright position, the lower front touchpad panel should be easily detatched at this point.

Next, disconnect the 4 wired tapes of the keyboard from the motherboard just like we did with the lower front touchpad panel.

The battery will be on the side closest to the screen.

Gently lift it out. It will still be attached by white, red, and black wires.

-
Pull the white plug, it should easily detach.
-
Remove the battery from the device.
There are 3 screws holding the keyboard that need to be removed. One at the small ribbon on the left; one at the large ribbon on the right and one in the centre of these two. This step is not shown in the teardown. Failure to do this will damage the keyboard
