Introduction
This guide will walk you through the steps of replacing the keyboard unit on the Asus Chromebook C300MA-EDU in case of broken or stuck keys. You will also have to replace this part if your mouse track pad has stopped working.
NOTE: On this laptop, the bottom does not pop off, rather the keyboard portion is the part that comes off to grant you access to the inner workings.
-
-
Flip the Chromebook onto its back, where there are eleven screws.
-
There are two variations of screws on the back panel:
-
Six 8.7mm screws.
-
Five 6.4mm screws.
-
Using your screwdriver with the J00 Phillips Head tip, remove the screws by turning them counter clockwise.
-
-
-
Once the screws are removed, flip the Chromebook back over.
-
Gently remove the keyboard by starting to lift up on one corner with a plastic opening tool.
-
Follow around the brim of the keyboard until it pops off.
-
-
-
Once you remove the keyboard, it will be connected to the CPU with two tabbed connections.
-
Release the connections from the tabs gently by flipping the white flaps up until disconnected.
-
You can now pull the ribbons out from the board and remove the keyboard.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
