Step 1

Before starting the replacement, turn off the device and disconnect all cords.
Close the device, lay it face down, and remove the battery.

Step 2

Open the device with the keyboard and screen showing.

Step 3

Loosen the chosen key by prying all four corners with a plastic opening tool.
Push the plastic opening tool under the key and carefully pull upwards until the key comes loose and pops off.

Step 4

Slowly grab the loose key away from the keyboard.
Be careful to leave the plastic pieces underneath the key in tact and unmoved. If plastic pieces do get moved, take tweezers and lift them back into place.
