    • To open the laptop, first you have to unscrew the back-screws.

    • 1. remove the plastic/rubber caps

    • 2. unscrew the 12 screws.

    • ATTN: Do not forget!

    • unplug the laptop from power source & remove the batery

    • unscrew the 3 tiny screws behind the battery

    Edit

    Is this the whole of the foot or just the cap on top of it. I removed the cap and there is a tiny hole but no visible screw. If I take off the foot, they will probably be damaged in the process.

    • Here you have some details regarding the back of the laptop. After you got read of the back cover you can access the following:

    • 1. WIFI card - Easy to change / replace There are two cables attached to it. Remove them, then unscrew the screw that holds the card in place and lift gently up - DONE.

    • 2. HDD / SSD. All you have to do is grab and pull the ribbon (as in photo). There are a few extra steps to change it.

    • Now to remove or change the keyboard

    • 1. Insert gently the cutte (or other sharp tool) and press towards the screen & flip up slowly.

    • To remove it completely unplug the two connectors.

    • After removing the keyboard you find:

    • 1.ECO Button

    • 2. Sound

    • 3. Power button

    • 4. Mouse pad

    Edit

    I just wanted to say that on my P875-S7102 (which is a very similar build), the keyboard is stuck in there pretty good’n’tight! There is a bit of a cutout at the bottom right corner (as seen when sitting at the laptop normally) and if you can get in there, you can begin to pry it out. It takes a fair bit of force, it’ll feel like you’re almost going to break the keyboard, but it really does just pop out. Just keep going along the front and you can release all the clips one by one.
