Removing the HP Elitebook 6930p Keyboard

Step 1 Battery Removal




• Flip laptop over and locate the battery release button
• Push release button to the left to release battery and gently pull battery from the laptop
Step 2 Keyboard




• Loosen the three Phillips 2.5×9.0 captive screws that secure the keyboard to the laptop
• Turn the laptop so the keyboard is facing up and locate the 4 retention tabs along the back edge of the keyboard
• Slide the retention clips toward the keyboard to release the keyboard
Step 3
• Use a plastic pry tool to lift the rear edge of the keyboard.
• Pull the keyboard slightly towards the display to disengage the tabs along the front of the keyboard from the laptop palm rest.
• Lift the keyboard up to reveal the ribbon connectors
Step 4
• Release the larger ribbon cable by flipping the brown retainer up so it is parallel with the ribbon cable
• Release the smaller ribbon cable by lifting up the white retainer
• I found it easier to reinstall both cables with the new keyboard resting on the back edge
