    • Remove the charging adaptor. Some charge may still be in the battery or computer. DO NOT touch connectors or copper yellow connector.

    • Locate the battery on the bottom of the computer.

    • Flip the computer so that the battery faces you.

    • Locate the two latches with the words “lock” and “release” on them.

  3. nDwk3SpwsRbopjRH

    • Push the latches towards each other and lift the battery to remove it.

  4. 2QSHoBkOFrNkxKkS

    • Remove the memory door on the bottom of the computer to access the screw for the keyboard.

    • The screws for the memory door do not come out.

    Incorrect picture for this step. Is should show removing the main cover on the bottom of the laptop to reveal the memory and hard drive

    • Remove the 6.7 mm screw that holds the keyboard assembly in place.

    • Be careful not to break the keyboard wire connection.

    • Slide the wires out, away from the solder connections.

    • Flip the computer over and open it.

    Not sure what wires I'm supposed to slide out. Again, picture is no help.

    • Gently pry the keyboard assembly from the screen side, using an opening tool. You will need to lift the keyboard about two inches.

    • Using an opening tool, gently pull out and slightly up on the connector clip.

    • Gently lift the keyboard assembly up and out.

    I found that it was easier to remove the keyboard starting from the front edge (away from the screen) because the clips are shorter on this side. The only problem is that the cable is at the front so you have more danger of breaking it. Again, the picture is incorrect - don't try to remove the panel around the keyboard as shown, just go for the central keyboard unit.
