Introduction

This guide shows you how to replace the detachable keyboard of your Asus Transformer Book T100TAF.

If some of your keyboard keys are not responding to your inputs, replacing your keyboard will fix that. When doing so, it is especially important to treat the fragile ribbon cables with care when removing them from their clips, as important information about key presses is transferred through these cables.

Before starting this guide, turn off your device, and disconnect from the charger.

    • Detach the keyboard from the screen by depressing the silver button on the hinge and pulling upwards on the tablet.

    Write out Philips-Head #00 instead of PH00 screwdriver, for a more user friendly description.

    • Flip up the tab on the white ribbon cable labeled “MB” using the metal spudger and then pull the white ribbon cable away from the motherboard.

    • Use a spudger to carefully flip up the black tab on the ZIF connector and pull the black striped ribbon cable away from the motherboard.

    • Don't use a metal spudger for work on the internals of your laptop. The photo in this guide is incorrect. The metal spudger is not ESD safe and could harm the components in your laptop.

    Be more specific on what a ZIF connector is.

Très facile. Merci. Et le fait d'avoir pu démonter mon clavier et souffler la poussière à l'intérieur à fait en sorte que les touches qui ne fonctionnaient plus ont recommencé à le faire. Merci encore.
