    Additionally, there is a screw beneath the optical drive that attaches to the keyboard. While the laptop is upside down, slide the optical drive completely out, and remove the shallow screw near the lip of the chassis. This should be done prior to the next step of lifting the keyboard with a pry tool.

    • Flip laptop over and open the screen.

    • Wedge some plastic opening tools between the keyboard and case.

    • Work your way around with the plastic opening tools until the keyboard is separate from the case.

    • Do not try to lift the keyboard straight off at this time. There are some ribbon cables that attach the motherboard to the keyboard that need to be removed first.

    i broke my ribbon cable when i was reconnecting it, is there a way to have a guide into how to repair that connection?

    Once you’ve removed most of those lengths of cables, they are really only held on by some tape you could just by a new cable. However if you’re talking about the port that it connects to on the motherboard you'll need to get really handy with a hot work station or buy a new mother board.
