Steps: 8 Steps
Get ready to roll up your sleeves! This guide will walk you through the steps to take apart the bottom of your laptop so you can swap out that keyboard dock like a pro.
Step 1
– Press the silver release button at the base of your tablet to easily separate the screen from the keyboard. It’s a simple move, just a little press and you’re good to go!
Step 2
The remaining screws you’ll encounter in this guide are your classic Phillips #0 head screws. Easy-peasy, right?
– Grab your trusty Phillips #0 screwdriver and let’s get to work! Unscrew six 4mm screws from the back cover of the keyboard. Easy peasy!
– Next up, take that metal spudger and carefully lift off the rubber feet located near the top of the keyboard—where it connects to the screen. You’ll find two sneaky 6mm screws hiding underneath those rubber feet. Let’s reveal those screws!

Take it easy with those clips! Forcing them can lead to breakage and a wobbly screen—yikes! Gently and cautiously open the rear cover like you’re unwrapping a precious gift.
– Grab your trusty metal spudger and carefully insert it into the seam of the rear cover casing. Gently pry upwards – it’s like opening a stubborn jar, but easier, we promise!
– If you’ve done it just right, you should feel the clips release. It’s a small victory, but you’re one step closer to fixing your device!

This tape has some serious stickiness—grab those tweezers and work your magic to loosen it up before peeling it off.

– Now, give that bigger black tab a little lift to free the black ribbon, using the nylon spudger, and smoothly slide it out as well. You’ve got this!
