    • Pull the keyboard ribbon vertically from the logic board to release connection.

    • The connector may be tight and difficult to remove. If stuck try rocking the connector back and forth while pulling up until it releases. This same process can be used for many of the connectors on this device.

    • Remove battery and CD/DVD drives before proceeding any further.

    Don't remove the connector. Just flip the keyboard over and lay it on the hand rest.
