How do I remove the keyboard on a Samsung R610 laptop. I have been able to remove the keyboard, but can't seem to unclip the cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard. Is there some special technique? Thanks in advance.

try loading function key driver software or os hotfix

Sounds more like you have some power cords from other devices that could be causing electromagnetic interference on the HDMI cable. I've never head of anyone experiencing this from something like HDMI 1.1 to a HDMI higher version, but have heard some won't work at all.

This is quite complex to get to, and I wouldn't attempt it unless you've got fairly extensive experience of dismantling laptops. The battery is a CR2032, and it's under the cover that's revealed when you remove the keyboard.

You need to
remove both back covers
take out the hard disk and CDROM (RAM can be left in).
unclip the leads to the WiFi module.
Remove all screws from the case underneath, including the one lower left of the HDD bay.
turn it over, and prise off the strip above the keyboard. Undo the screw holding the P switch module to it.
Push UP the clips along the top edge of the keyboard and remove it, unclipping the ribbon cable. For these connectors, they hinge upwards to release the ribbon.
Unclip the screen connector.
thread back the WiFi cables to where they join the screen.
Unscrew the brackets holding the screen on, and remove it.
Unclip the 3 ribbon connectors, and the 2 two-wire connectors below the keyboard
Prise off the top cover, starting at the back, where the screen hinges were.
CMOS battery is at the lower edge.

Reassembaly is just the reverse of the above. I found it easier to reattach the WiFi leads to the module BEFORE re-inserting it and screwing it down, and before putting the leads back into their cable routing.

I'd suggest you google for
Acer Aspire 5738z Service Manual
to get more info.

Took me about 90 minutes with a moderate degree of experience dismantling laptops...

try to use a USB or PS2 mouse

I removed the panel above the keyboard, removed the four screws and tilted the keyboard forward. Unclipped the ribbon cable and the keyboard was out. Replacement was the opposite procedure to removal, very easy after I thought about it. Thanks

Did the card come with the laptop? If it did it might be made by samsung. You could try finding the driver on the samsung website. Or you may be able to find it out using belarc advisor. You can download it here:

You will have to getto rig something to fix it or replace your entire keyboard

Was there any liquids spilled inside the keyboard? You may need to have the keyboard replaced as they start to fail in due time.
