Removing the Keyboard
  • Unfortunately, pictures of the removal were not taken but there are several YouTube videos demonstrating the process.

  • First, remove the battery and then remove two rubber bungs which are then visible in the battery compartment. Their surfaces are flush with the battery compartment roof.

  • Using two notches to gain access, slide the inter-key sheet upwards, revealing 6 small screws.

  • Remove these screws.

  • Now carefully lift the top of the keyboard and angle it towards you, revealing its two ribbon cables.

  • Gently lift the locking tabs on the ribbon cables and withdraw the ribbons. You can now remove the keyboard.

  • On different laptops, there are several methods of removing the keyboard. In some, you only need to release tabs along the top. Others are retained by screws under a bezel between the keyboard and the screen or they are accessed from the underside of the laptop.
