Keyboard: Dell Latitude C840 Service Manual
1. While bracing the keyboard upright on its left end, connect the keyboard cable to the keyboard
interface connector on the system board.
NOTICE:
Position the keyboard/track-stick flex cable so that it is not pinched when you replace
the keyboard in the bottom case.
2. Insert the metal tabs at the left end of the keyboard under the edge of the bottom case, and fit
the keyboard into place.
3. Check that the keyboard is correctly installed. The keys should be flush with the left and right
surfaces of the palm rest.
4. Turn the computer over and reinstall the four M2.5 x 20-mm screws. For extra stability, you can
open the computer slightly and brace the keyboard under each screw as you install the screw.
