  • Removing Keyboard and Trackpad

  • Flip the laptop over and open the display carefully - the keyboard, palm rest and bezel will be loose.

  • Maneuver the palm rest away from the keyboard carefully, both the keyboard and palm rest/trackpad will come off together.

  • **WARNING** Both the keyboard and trackpad have connectors to the motherboard. Disconnect these before completely removing either component.
