Einleitung

This guide will walk you through replacing the audio port and USB drive card using an iFixit PH0 screwdriver and plastic opening tool.

    • Power down the laptop and detach the charging cord (failure to do so can result in electrical shock).

    • Flip the laptop upside down so that the bottom is facing you.

    • Push the slide on the right toward the center of the laptop, releasing the battery latch.

    • Lift the battery up and away from the laptop.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool between the keyboard and the palm rest.

    • Pry upwards until the keyboard section detaches from the laptop.

    • Repeat this around the edge of the entire keyboard.

    • Sections will make loud snapping noises as they detach from the palm rest - this is normal.

    there are 2 screws on the back that are marked with a mini keyboard. these have to be removed before lifting the keyboard

    Insert the opening tool at the back of the keyboard, not the front!

    • Lift the keyboard slowly up until the connecting cable is exposed.

    • Carefully lift the flap on the ZIF connector using a fingernail or plastic opening tool. This will release the cable.

    • Detach the cable.

    Lift the back of the keyboard, not the front!

    • Unscrew the 10 6.0 mm screws under the keyboard housing with a Philips #0 head screwdriver.

    • Insert the plastic opening tool into the seam between the palm rest and the laptop.

    • Pry upwards until the palm rest separates from the laptop.

    • Repeat this process around the entire computer.

    • These steps will be similar to the ones you took to remove the keyboard. Again, you will hear snapping noises.

where can I find the replacement part?

Hello, first I just wanted to say thank you so much for writing these guides! You’re a super hero…. now then, I find myself in quite a pickle. I have an HP 15-b123cl with a screen that’s broken. I need to resolder one of the connectors. I have a picture that will show you which connector I need to fix, but I can’t post a picture in this comment section… all I need is a picture of the display connector on the top left of the motherboard. I even checked ifixit for some way of messaging you directly, but no luck :(… all I can think to do is give you my personal email address and hope that you send me something! Anyways… THANKS ERIN
