- No, I'd just like some instructions on how to , I ordered a new keyboard, and am waiting for it to arrive. An external usb keyboard works fine, so I figure I have to change mine some of the keys don't work anymore. thanksNov 03, 2009
- I guess my request was more directed at the hard part for me which would be how to disconnect that ribbon cable without ruining the motherboard, and replacing the new ribbon, thanksClarification Request

Hello.
Glad to Help You.
There should be a panel above the keyboard that is usually held in place by a series of tabs. You will need to pry it up. Starting from one corner, gently lift it until you can remove the entire panel. If it seems overly difficult, look around the LCD hinges for screws, some laptops have them. You should find that the keyboard is held in place by 2 - 3 screws at the top, remove these screws, lift the keyboard, whilst being careful with the ribbon connector.
*************************************************************************************
**********************************************************************************
Attention! Be very gentle with the keyboard connector on the motherboard.
f you break the keyboard connector, you’ll have to replace the entire motherboard or use the laptop only with an external keyboard.
Good Luck.
Remove the laptop battery and the AC power supply, open the lid as far back as you can take it.
Get a small flat headed screwdriver, now, you have to take off the keyboard bezel, this is the strip of plastic above the keyboard with the power button on it, the best way to remove it is to start by the on/off button by gently prying the bezel up from the lid hinge, once you have one side out gently pull it up using your fingers, it will unclip and lift away.
Next you have to remove 2 screws from the top of the keyboard, these should be visible to you, once the screws are out carefully lift the keyboard up, you will see a ribbon cable that is connected to the motherboard, gently pull the tab up on the connector that the ribbon cable sits in and it should release it and you can now remove the keyboard and replace it.
To re-assemble just follow my direction in reverse
