Keyboardassembly
  • Make a drawing of the keyboard

  • Remove all screws surrounding the keyboard (and put them on the drawing!).

  • Don't be smart, the keyboard assembly might look like two parts (keyboard itself + metal backplate), but the two are glued together.

  • Put in new keyboard assembly, reassemble the whole thing by following the steps in reverse order (you made drawings to figure out screw placement, didn't you?).

  • The last pictures shows the full keyboard assembly (right) and the keyboard itself (left, spare part I ordered). One of them is rotated by 180 degrees (see videos for better comparison).

  • The metal plate is glued to the black plastic of the keyboard. I could not seperate the two (tried heat and cutting and both) without deforming the metal and ripping apart the original keyboard. So if you plan to do a repair, get the variant with the metal backplate!
