    • Using a spudger, disconnect the hard drive connecting cable. Use a slow, prying motion as if pulling a nail out of wood.

    • Be very gentle with the connecting cable and its respective port on the logic board. Both are very fragile and can be easily damaged.

    • Locate the small Phillips head screw next to the wireless chip.

    • Using a #00 Phillips head screwdriver, remove all eight screws listed above.

    • These screws are known to get stuck on occasion. If this occurs, try using a slower unscrewing motion with a magnetic screwdriver. Then, utilize the magnetism of the screwdriver to simply pull the screw from its "well".

    • Locate the fourteen clips in the small gap that runs between the keyboard assembly and the chassis.

    • Using a plastic opening tool, slowly press down the keyboard clips and begin pulling the keyboard upwards.

    • This step requires a little bit of force. The clips are quite sturdy and can take a lot of pressure but the keyboard itself is still possible to bend or damage.

    • Lift up the "flap" securing the ribbon cable to their slot on logic board and slowly pull the cables away from their connections.

    • Lift the keyboard assembly up and away from the plastic chassis.

Hi, can one fix the keyboard when a spillage has occurred? The key buttons aren't functioning.

Step 5, 6, and 7 are completely unnecessary. You do not need to remove all those screws to replace the keyboard. You only need to remove the Hard Drive panel bolt in step 3, and the bolt in step 8 that has a keyboard logo next to it. You can confirm that this is the only bolt necessary to remove by viewing the underneath of the keyboard in step 10.

Agree with Keil, steps 5-7 are unnecessary, but an interesting experience. 63-year old grandma successfully replaced the keyboard so granddaughter can have a computer. Thanks for the great instructions!
