Removal of Ribbon Cables
-

None of these cables require tools to remove, simply apply firm upward pressure to remove them.

Remove the key assembly from the key board.

The keys are retained via a tension spring. The removal of these springs is simple using the hooked needle point tweezers from the IFixit Toolkit.

-
To remove, simply insert one of the tweezer ends through the opening at the end of the spring.

Press the end between the spring windings after the windings start to reduce in size towards the inside of the spring.

Next, clasp the spring windings with the tweezers and gently apply tension outward.

The spring should thin slightly and be easily raised up and out of the retaining keyway.

This will free the key from the keyboard assembly for repair or replacement.
