| + | [title] Keyboard Removal |
|---|---|
| [* icon_caution] ***''BEFORE REMOVING THE KEYBOARD:''*** ***It is crucial that the user ground his/herself to avoid damaging sensitive hardware via static electricity. This can be accomplished by touching a faucet, a metal lamp that is plugged in, or the back of a desktop computer that is plugged into a wall outlet.*** | |
| [* icon_caution] ***''ALSO NOTE:''*** ***A ribbon cable connecting the keyboard to the computer’s motherboard is present. Removing the keyboard too forcefully could damage this cable and/or its connection, possibly causing severe, irreversible damage to the computer. *** | |
| [* black] With the speaker panel absent, the keyboard can be easily removed. Pull the keyboard a few inches from the computer, taking care not to pull beyond the length of the ribbon cable that secures it to the motherboard. | |
| [* black] Identify the ribbon cable connecting the keyboard to the computer’s motherboard and its point of connection. Unplug the cable in the same manner described in ''Step 3.'' | |
| [* black] Once the cable is free from the motherboard, the keyboard is fully separated from the computer. |
