HP Pavilion zv5000 Keyboard Replacement

Step 1 Battery

• Make sure that your device is properly shut down and unplugged from any outlet.
• Flip Pavilion over so that the bottom faces up and locate the battery in the bottom left corner.

• Press and slide up the battery release tab with your thumb until the battery pops out of place.
Step 3
• Using two fingers, pry the rest of the battery out of the socket.

• Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, unscrew all four Phillips PM 2.5X13.0mm screws and place in a secure area until the end of the project.
Step 5
• Flip laptop back over and open as far as it can go.
Step 6
• Use the flat edge of the plastic spudger inserted under the bottom of the strip cover and pry upwards to un-clip the cover, starting at the right and moving to the left.
• If the plastic spudger is not doing the trick, try using the metal spudger careful to not pop any keys out.
Step 7
• Use hands to completely lift off the strip cover and remove.
Step 8
• Use the Phillips #0 screwdriver again, unscrew all four Phillips PM 2.5X13.0mm screws from the top of the keyboard and set aside.
