Unresponsive keyboard fix

What you need

  1. Unresponsive keyboard fix, Remove the bottom cover: step 1, image 1 of 1
    • Note: These 2 screws are longer then the others. Sort them accordingly.

    • Unscrew the remaining 8 screws. These are all the same length and can be stored together.

  2. Unresponsive keyboard fix, Remove the battery: step 2, image 1 of 1
    • Remove the back cover. There are no warranty stickers, so there is nothing to worry about.

    • Locate the keyboard connector. It is covered with a piece of tape which is not very adhesive. That explain why the connector unlocked itself I guess.

    • You may need to remove the battery to disconnect it. Unscrew the 3 screws holding the battery into the system.

  3. Unresponsive keyboard fix, Reconnect the keyboard: step 3, image 1 of 1
    • Remove the tape covering the connector. Note: Tape should be added to the connector to keep it secure.

    • Here on the picture you can see the connector with its two holders unlocked. These hold the connector in and should be completely pushed in.

    • Push the connector in. Do this until it is fully connected again.

    • Lock the tabs that retain the keyboard connector back in place.
