Step 1
—
Battery
Locate the battery release tab on the underside of the G4.
Slide the battery release tab to the left and lift the battery out of the computer.
Step 2
—
Keyboard
Turn the keyboard locking screw located in the middle of the keyboard so that it is parallel to the space bar.
Pull the keyboard release tabs toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free.
Step 3
Rest the keyboard face down on the trackpad area.
Disconnect the keyboard connector from the logic board.
The keyboard connector can be very tightly connected. Use caution and a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it up from the board. The left side of the connector (left as shown in the photo) is easier to grasp than the right, so grab it on that side with the pliers and pull carefully. It will come off.
