Open the laptop with the screen facing you.
Carefully lift the left side of the panel and unhook the right side. Do not pull beyond the length of the ribbon cable that secures it to the motherboard.
If the ribbon cable is not properly separated from the motherboard irreversible damage will occur.
To separate the ribbon cable from the motherboard, grip it near the base and gently pull.
If you do not want to replace the keyboard skip to step 5.
