    • Once again, make sure to keep these screws separate from all others.

    Avec un clavier seul, vous êtes bloqués ici ! (comme moi)

    MA SOLUTION avec un pistolet à colle (mon ordi marche mais ce n’est pas une méthode conventionnelle !):

    1) Les deux enceintes : les dévisser et les décoller (elles sont collées à une petite mousse). Enlever en même temps la carte verte lecteur usb-sd

    2) Arracher ensuite (c’est le plus pénible) tous les petits ronds de plastique qui tiennent la plaque en métal au dessus du clavier (je l’ai fait au couteau).

    3) retirer la plaque en métal (ça coince des fois avec des résidus de ronds en plastique, il faut peut être un peu tirer), remplacer le vieux clavier par un neuf.

    4) on repose la plaque en métal et on remplace les ronds en plastique par des ronds de colle de pistolet à colle. On recolle les enceintes, revisse le tout et on retrouve le fil du tuto.

This should really be title keyboard ASSEMBLY replacement. The keyboard involves quite a bit more work on its own.

avarno -

! ATTENTION ! Comme l’a dit avarno il y a quelques mois, le tutoriel ne propose QUE DE REMPLACER LE BLOC CLAVIER + PAVÉ TACTILE. Sur Ifixit on peut aussi acheter le clavier seul (ce que j’ai fait). On se retrouve bloqué à l’étape 12. J’ai posté une solution en commentaire de l’étape 12 (peut être pas très conventionnelle, à vos risques et périls !)
