Asus Eee PC 1005HA Keyboard Replacement

Step 1 Battery

• Lay the laptop upside down.
• Locate the two battery lock tabs.
Step 2




• Slide the tabs outward to unlock the battery.
• The left tab will remain unlocked, while the right tab must be held.
• Holding the right tab open, slide the battery out of the laptop.
Step 3 Keyboard
• The first step is to remove the battery from the laptop.
• Use a plastic opening tool to pull up the four metal latches in the battery cavity that is located on the bottom of the laptop.
• Do not apply too much pressure. The latches can not be removed and will bend if forced.
Step 4
• Flip the laptop over, and open the display.
• Use a plastic opening tool to lift the edge of the keyboard that is nearest to the screen.
• Gently lift the keyboard and slide it toward the screen.
• Do not remove the keyboard completely. This can damage the ribbon cable connecting the underside of the keyboard to the laptop.
Step 5
• Use a spudger tool to release the tabs on the ribbon cable ZIF connector that is attached to the underside of the keyboard.
• Depending on the model, the tabs on this ZIF connector will either flip up toward the display or push out toward the display.
• Once the ZIF connector tabs have been released, remove the keyboard.
