This guide shows you how to install a new keyboard for an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop.

Before using this guide, make sure to review the Acer Aspire 5100 Trouble Shooting page.

Be sure to power off your laptop completely and disconnect from any external power source before beginning installation.

    • Open and push the screen back all the way until it is horizontal with the rest of the laptop.

    • Use an opening tool to remove the panel above the keyboard that has the power button on it.

    • After you have released the tabs, lift up the panel.

    • Under the panel, remove the two screws that connect the keyboard to the laptop.

    • One screw is located above the F5 button, and the other one is located above the F10 button.

    • Potential for device damage: Lift up the keyboard CAREFULLY because there is a ribbon that connects the keyboard to the motherboard.

    • Release the catch on the ribbon socket by sliding the two tabs toward the ribbon.

    • Pull the ribbon under the keyboard to detach it from the motherboard.

    • Remove the keyboard.

    do not pull on ribbon it will only break the cable. instead use tool to detach from mother board. i broke mine by pulling ribbon.

    useless guide, there are a lot of screws that lock the cover on the laptop and you have never showed them

    Valerio Vischio -

    You do not need to remove the whole cover, in order to replace the keyboard.

    The description for this job is right.

    The switch plate cover just pops off.

    Screws revealed, secure the keyboard.

    Unclip the ribbon cable.

    Job done
