HP Mini 110-1046NR Keyboard Replacement

Power-off the netbook fully before attempting to remove the battery.

Flip your netbook upside down, and locate the sliding tabs near the battery.

Slide both tabs inward so that the battery visibly moves away from the case of the computer.

Release the tabs and pull the battery out.

With the screen closed, turn your netbook around so that the battery slot is facing you.

Remove the three 2.9mm screws in the battery slot.

This step can be made easier by using a magnetic screwdriver.

Flip the netbook upright, and open the screen as far as it will go.

Pry up the keyboard from the middle of the top edge.

Insert the flat end of the spudger between middle of the the top edge of the keyboard and the plastic frame behind it.

Pry the keyboard up until it pops out or until you can grab it with your fingers, and then pull gently until it pops out on both sides.

Flip the keyboard over (toward you) by pivoting it about the lower edge, and lay it upside down on top of the touchpad area to reveal the ribbon cable.

Lightly pull up on the black tab on top of the keyboard ribbon cable until it hinges toward you and releases the ribbon cable end.

Pull the ribbon cable backward and out of the receptacle. This should not require any effort.
