Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

Time Required

10 - 20 minutes

Introduction

If your keys are not typing anything or the way they should, then check this guide to see how to safely remove and replace the keyboard input device on the computer. It will also contain detailed pictures on what to expect and watch out for, such as ribbons or wires.

Tools

Step 1

Make sure your computer is turned off and the computer is not plugged in.
Turn your laptop upside down, and slide the right release tab outward.
Using you left hand, hold the left release tab towards the left side and then pull the battery out.

Step 2

Flip the laptop over so it is rightside up, and open the laptop all the way so that the screen is horizontal.

Step 3

Using the plastic opening tool, pry off the panel above the keyboard, starting near the right front speaker.
Use the plastic opening tool to pop off tabs along the length of this panel.
This may feel like you're about to break something, but as long as you work your way down the panel and don't yank it out, the laptop will be fine.
