    • Use a plastic opening tool to carefully pry open the latch points located under the silver plastic trim. Repeat this around the back cover.

    • It may be easiest to start around the CD-ROM bay because there is more room.

    • To avoid damaging the plastic trim and cover, do not force difficult areas and make sure the opening tool is completely under the black plastic cover, not just the silver trim.

    • Lift the back cover upward and away from the laptop.

    • Use a plastic opening tool to disconnect the two ZIF connectors attached to each ribbon. Both are located under the keyboard and have a clear flap that must be lifted upward before removal.

    • Open the white connector attached to the copper ribbon.

    • Open the white connected attached to the black and white striped ribbon.

    • Take care when opening these connectors. The ribbon is anchored underneath the clear flap. Pulling these pieces out of their sockets will make it difficult to reassemble them.

    • Lift the keyboard away from the body of the laptop.

Abschluss

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
