1. Step 1 Position the Input Cover
  Position the Input Cover, Keyboard down, on top of the laptop so it just covers the Battery.
  
  This allows the Touchpad Cable to be folded over and reconnected without straining it.

2. Step 2 Connect the Touchpad Cable
  Insert your finger into the Touchpad Cable press connector loop.
  
  Align the press connector over its socket and press down with your finger.
  
  You should hear it "click" into place. If you're having trouble, reposition it and try again. Don't try to force the connector into place.
