What you need
-
-
Flip the computer upside down.
-
The red rectangle shows the location of the battery.
-
-
-
Locate the two switches that lock the battery. Push the left-hand switch outward into the "unlocked" position.
-
-
-
Now push and hold the right clip to the right while using your other hand to gently slide the battery away from the computer.
-
-
-
-
Once you have located the two screws, remove them with a small Phillips screwdriver.
-
-
-
Gently pull the strip out from the case.
-
-
-
Use a a plastic spudger (or a flat screwdriver) to push the keyboard towards the screen. This will pop the bottom of the keyboard out of the casing.
-
-
-
Carefully unplug the connector by pulling.
Don't pull on the orange band, as shown in the picture. For me it immediately ripped, even with only minimal force applied, thus ruining the wire.
-
-
-
You are done - the keyboard is not connected to the laptop any more and can be replaced.

Very good instructions. Really easy. Difficulty rather easy than moderate. Took me two minutes.
Worked perfectly. It was easy enough that I could use a key ring screw driver
Quisiera saber cómo reparar el teclado ya que está en corte y no me deja encender la laptop
Wouldn’t the risk of ESD damage be a bigger concern than electrical shock from a 20V/90W power supply? I mean, it would hurt, but it almost certainly wouldn’t kill you.
