    • Remove the thirteen 1.4mm screws using a Phillips #2 screwdriver

    I wish mine were all 1.4mm. Mine came with 4 different screw lengths. Ugh.

    • Locate the hidden screw found in the middle of the back hard cover.

    • The hidden screw is found under the rubber cover shown in picture.

    • Here you will find a proprietary Japanese screw head.

    • Remove the screw with your own tool (not provided by IFixit) or by using the methods found here.

    I believe that is a Torx 7 security screw.

Ordering the parts for my wife’s Toshiba shortly. It has been an excellent machine but the keyboard keys have worn off. Seems like a very straight forward process. The question that I have is what do I use to hold the keyboard back in place?

Thanks for the directions. George

Only one key gets off the keyboard (down cursor) I’ve got the key and the rounded rubber that fits into the mechanism, most of the time it works but when I press continusly it gets off.

Is there a way to fix it without changing the whole keyboard?
