Now that the keyboard is outside of the laptop, you will see a ribbon cable coming from the back of the keyboard connected to the laptop.

To detach this cable you must use the pointed edge of the spudger to press down on the locking mechanisms on each side.

Do not use too much pressure when disconnecting the ZIF connector.

After unlocking both sides of the ZIF connector remove the keyboard for replacement.
