Introduction

    • Use a plastic opening pick to release the clips that secure the keyboard.

    • Avoid too much prying force. If you pry too hard, you'll break your pick. The trick is to get the pick in just a little bit, and then run it along the edge of the device.

    • DO NOT use metal tools for this step.

  3. CxLX4XumR2b3h3Al

    • Lift up the keyboard part way, being careful to not put stress on the keyboard and touchpad ribbon cables.

    • Disconnect touchpad ZIF connector.

    • Now you can remove the keyboard assembly completely.

    • If your replacement keyboard came with touchpad and cable, you can start reassembling the computer now. If you need to retrieve the touchpad from the old keyboard, keep reading.

    • Lift up the plastic guard covering the three PH0 M2x2 screws and remove them.

    • Lift the touchpad out and place into new keyboard.

    • Be sure to evenly tighten the touchpad screws during reinstallation. Even a small variance can lead to a touchpad that feels "off".

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
