Replacing Notebook Components
Carefully rotate the keyboard toward you so it lies keys-down on top of the notebook.
Be careful not to damage the LCD panel.
Lift the black keyboard connector clip, then remove the cable. Be careful not to touch or
damage any other components.
Lift the old keyboard away from the notebook. The keyboard is now completely detached
from the notebook.
Place the new keyboard keys-down on the notebook with the space bar away from you.
Make sure the black keyboard connector clip is fully raised, insert the cable into the
connector, then lower the black connector clip to lock the cable in place.
The keyboard cable is correctly oriented if the cable is not twisted.
Rotate the keyboard toward the LCD panel until the keyboard is almost face-up.
