    • Turn off the laptop and remove the battery.

    • Remove two screws securing the Keyboard.

    • The Keyboard is held by two locking clips, under the battery. Use the sharp tip of a plastic tool to release the keyboard.

    The two clips push toward the space-bar part of the keyboard. There are further clips around the edge of the keyboard, but it can be removed by careful prying with a thin blade screwdriver.

    It would be helpful to have more info on how to remove the two cables. The larger one has a couple of clips that slide, but what exactly comes off? Do the plastic strips lift, or do the flat cables just pull out of them? Don't want to break something!

    I watched several videos, many of which had the action hidden behind the keyboard. The larger ribbon pulls out of the strip after the two white clips on the end are moved. The smaller one has a black strip which lifts from the ribbon side, releasing the cable.

Is it safe to use with the optical drive out? I just took it out and I don't get the part until next week but I need to use my laptop... can I use it?

I needed to replace it because I dropped my laptop off the arm of the sofa with the drive open and falling on that side too.
