Step 1 — Battery Removal

Push release button to the left to release battery and gently pull battery from the laptop

Step 2 — Keyboard

Loosen the three Phillips 2.5×9.0 captive screws that secure the keyboard to the laptop

Turn the laptop so the keyboard is facing up and locate the 4 retention tabs along the back edge ofthe keyboard

Step 3

Use a plastic pry tool to lift the rear edge of the keyboard.

Pull the keyboard slightly towards the display to disengage the tabs along the front of the keyboardfrom the laptop palm rest.

Lift the keyboard up to reveal the ribbon connectors

Step 4

Release the larger ribbon cable by flipping the brown retainer up so it is parallel with the ribboncable

Release the smaller ribbon cable by lifting up the white retainer

I found it easier to reinstall both cables with the new keyboard resting on the back edge
