The keyboard assembly guide is your all-access pass to the inner world of your laptop. Whether you’re fixing up a wonky trackpad or swapping out your keyboard, this guide has you covered. Plus, it’s your first step toward reaching the inner sanctum of your device where all the magic happens. Follow along and make your laptop happy again!
Step 1
– Alright, let’s get this lower case off! Grab your Phillips #0 screwdriver and remove these screws:
– Six screws measuring 9 mm — keep track of them!
– Four screws measuring 11 mm — don’t mix them up!
Step 2
Careful now—don’t yank off the top cover just yet! It’s held on by two ribbon cables that we’ll gracefully disconnect in the next steps.
– Let’s get started! Use a plastic opening tool to carefully pry the top cover away from the laptop.
– Begin by gently prying at the front of the laptop – it’s the perfect place to start.
– Keep working your way around the cover, and don’t stop until you reach the area just under the screen. This will help release the front cover and give you access to the inside.
Step 3
The connector might rock a white base with a tiny gray latch that flips open like a little door.
You shouldn’t need to wrestle with it—just a gentle tug will set the cable free.
– To pop that ZIF latch loose, just give the little white tab a gentle lift.
– Now, gently tug the white ribbon cable out of the socket to disconnect it. You’ve got this!
Step 4
– Flip the grey rotating tab up to unlock the ZIF latch holding the keyboard cable in place—it’s like waving goodbye to that little clip!
– Now, gently slide the black and blue ribbon cable out of the connector like a smooth operator—no tugging or yanking allowed!
Step 5
– To get your device up and running again, just reverse these steps – easy peasy!
– You did it! If you need help with anything else, you can always schedule a repair
