Einleitung

Are your keys malfunctioning or not registering correctly"? Consider using this guide to replace the keyboard of your laptop.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Turn off laptop before starting.
Remove power cable before starting.
Flip the laptop over so that the bottom of the laptop is facing upwards.

Schritt 4

Remove securing screw with the PH0 head.

You do not need to remove the optic drive to replace the keyboard.

Schritt 5

Slide the optical drive out and remove it from the device.

Schritt 6

Remove the two Phillips #0 screws labeled KBD.

Schritt 7

There are 5 clips along the top of the keyboard. Insert a thin opener tool (iSessamo tool or similar) between each clip and the keyboard tray to release it.
Make sure to pry the metal keyboard base and not the keycaps.

This is also not right. There are 5 catches at the top of the keyboard, one at the middle one and two at each side. Insert an iOpener or similar thin tool between the catch and the keyboard, starting with the middle one. The middle three catches simply spring back, and the side ones are solid, but you can lever the keyboard over them. There is also two catches on each side near the bottom. You can release them with the iOpener too. It is easier if you have two iOpeners to prevent opened catches from re-closing.

Schritt 8

Do not bend your keyboard as shown in this picture.
Lift the keyboard up to release catches on the sides, then slide the keyboard towards the screen to slide tabs out of the slots at the bottom.
