Lift up 1 side of the keyboard cover with a small flat screwdriver.
Remove keyboard cover.
Remve three screws securing the keyboard.
Lift up the keyboard and placed it on the display panel or palm rest, so you can accss the memory slot A. The keyboard is attached to the mboard via a flat ribbon cable.
The memory slot A is located just abve the touch pad buttons.

In order to remove the existing memory module carefully spread latches on both sies of the memory slot.
The memory module will pop up at a 30 degree angle.
Pull the memory module from the slot A by the edges.
Install new ram and put everything back together.

Done!

Either something got spilled in it or the connection ribbon got jossled lose. The top power bezel should be in with clip snaps. Remove it then the keyboard should pop up after you lightly squeeze the sides in. Look under the keyboard there is a ribbon that connects with a lock snap. Lightly push the lock clip up and push the ribbon back in and snap the clip back on. Do not put it all together yet try booting it apart and try the keyboard. If it still doesnt work power down remove battery unplug it and finish removing the keyboard order u a new 1. They run around $20 brand new.

Hi;
Swapping out the keyboard is pretty straight forward:

Remove the battery and unplug the AC Adapter.

Very carefully, pop loose the piece of plastic trim that is below the LCD screen, and on top of the keyboard. It covers the hinges as well. Sometimes there are additional screws on the back of the hinge covers.

Once you get that piece off of the laptop, then remove the screws that secure the top of the keyboard. The keyboard should be able to be lifted up and back, to expose the ribbon connector. You will have to lift the release strip from the ribbon connector to release the ribbon . It is a brown or black part of the connector, and it lifts up about a 1/16 "
Install by reversing the process

Hi there.
Many laptop keyboards tend to start doing this after prolonged use (including my own), there is no way of fixing them.
What you need to do is replace the keyboard, in the meantime, you can use a small usb keyboard or use the on-screen until you get the keyboard replaced.

Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!

I have this same laptop. It is pretty simple to tear apart. Is there any specific areas you wish to access or did you want to just take it completely apart? If you are going ofr the keyboard ribbon or the touchpad ribbon, just undo the two screws out that are located behind the pivot point of the screen, then open the laptop and remove the small plate. This reveals access to two more screws (2 silver, 2 black). Remove the silver ones not the black ones. The black screws remove the lower shell assembly. Once the silver screws are removed the accessory bezel can be removed. ( the one with the power button and lights)

There are yet two more screws that lock down the keyboard. Remove them and pivot the keyboard toward the touchpad. You can now safely remove the keyboard.

Maybe this video is helpful:

Usually there is no need to dismantle the laptop to get at the keyboard.
Usually there may be a plastic strip above the keyboard and the LCD screen. The plastic strip above the keyboard may be secured by a screw on the back edge of the laptop with a screw located behind the screen hinge. If there are no screws then it is just clipped in place, slide a thin blade under the plastic cover that covers the screen hinge and gently level up until the it pop up, there may be a ribbon cable connecting the switches and LEDs.
Depending up on the model of the laptop, the keyboard may have screws that is located under the plastic strip or it may have screws that are located on the bottom of the laptop, usually 3 or more screws directly under the keyboard. Once the screws are removed the keyboard can be removed, be careful the is a ribbon cable that attaches the keyboard to the motherboard.
The end of the ribbon cable may have a connector attached to it, pull the tab to release the connector. OR it is just a ribbon cable alone and it fits into a connector, to release the cable pull the plastic catch up to release the cable.

I'm trying to repair the same thing right now.

to get the case apart, the hangup screws are under the keyboard. to remove the keyboard, you must remove the small plastic (1"x8") strip that has the power button and indicator leds on it.

to remove it, go along the top of the keyboard, closest to the screen, there are 5 plastic tabs to be released, then pop only that side closest to the keyboard up, then, slowly work it around until it comes free. flip the keyboard towards you, and carefully remove its ribbon cable by first popping up the sockets (on the mb) retainer.

then you can get those last screws out and have at it.

peace!
