Introduction
Before starting any repairs you should go through the process of troubleshooting your device first. Once you have determined the problem will be fixed with a replacement of a component then you can take a look at this guide. This is a guide on how to replace the keyboard & touchpad assembly on the HP Chromebook 11A G8 EE.
-
-
Flip the device over and open the lid.
-
Use a plastic opening tool to pry the keyboard assembly away from the bottom case, prying around the perimeter until it fully separates.
-
Lift the keyboard assembly from the laptop towards you, away from the screen.
-
-
-
Lift the keyboard ribbon lock bar and use tweezers to disconnect the keyboard ribbon from the motherboard.
-
Lift the lock bar and use tweezers to remove the touchpad ribbon.
-
Remove the keyboard.
-
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
Is it possible that the screw location diagram is incorrect? On my g8 ee it seems that the longest screw (the orange 8 mm?) Goes closest to the screen hinge and the other 4 screws are identical size (the 7mm?).
In the diagram, the longest screw (orange) is shown as being located farthest from the screen hinge. But I've also seen a YouTube video possibly corroborate this guide's screw information, differing from the 2 G8 EE models I checked in person.
