Section 7.0 - Keyboard Installation  

The keyboard is packaged separately and must be installed by the system 
builder.  To install the keyboard, follow these instructions: 

 

1.

 

Open up the notebook completely so that the LCD is level with the lower 

bottom chassis.  This will provide unobstructed access for removing the 

keyboard cover (or also commonly referred to as the “C” surface). 
(Illustration 7a) 

2.

 

Using a small flathead screwdriver, insert the tip of the screwdriver 
between the keyboard and the keyboard cover in the area under the email 

hotkey button and gently pry up the cover.  This will cause the cover to 

pop up far enough where it can be removed completely by hand.

3.

 

Check to see that the flat cable connector on the motherboard is in the 
unlocked position (#1 & #3, Illustration 7b)

5.

 

Lock keyboard connector on each end by hand or with a small flathead 

screwdriver. (#1 & #3, Illustration 7b)
