    • Gently pry off the bottom case with the plastic opening tools.

    • Find the seam between the back case and the rest of the laptop casing.

    Great write-up of process, BUT VERY IMPORTANT step to insert after Step 3: With the back off, you will have access to the wide ribbon cable for the keyboard.  See the 2nd and 3rd photos in Step 17 below.  Before doing anything else, flip up the ribbon clamp and remove the ribbon.  Inspect the underside (electrical contact side) of the cable and blow out the connector.  Carefully fully reinstall ribbon cable, but before clamping top back down, pull cable out about the width of a hair.  Then push clamp down.  This will allow tiny pins to contact a fresh spot on the exposed runs.  Then test.  This 100% fixed multiple problems with my keyboard without doing anything else (after buying a new keyboard, now just a spare…)  and saved a TON of time and trouble.  I think some people replace the keyboard and think this is what fixed it, but doing the above would have worked.  I suspect after a few years some galvanic corrosion develops that affects the tiny connections.  This makes new connections which work perfectly.

The screws for the battery are in very tight and I'm having trouble unscrewing them

Brianna Brucale -

I'm having difficulty unplugging the 10 pin connector. Afraid if I pull too hard it will pull the wires out. Any suggestions?

jmomenee -

Just wiggle it back-and-forth a bit and it should come out. I just change my own battery.

Carmen Cuevas -

I did all of that but my laptop didn’t reboot, any suggestions

roberta -

I had no problem installing the new battery, but even after letting it charge over 24 hours. Not able to get it to turn on

roberta -

I have one screw too tight…

and one tiny screw covered by tiny rubber tiny tiny plug…

mary -

One additional item. Before you remove the battery, there are 3 taped sections holding down another wire. Loosen these from the battery.

William Boutin -

Easier than I thought it would be. Only problem was making the tiny rubber caps covering the screws don’t hold unless you put a tiny amt of glue on bottom rubber or forget it. Not necessary really.

I tried unplugging the 10 pin connector with a knife and a short circuit occurred. My pc wont start at all. Any solutions?
