ID: 56406

Description: This is one of the more complicated procedures...

Steps:

1. To take off the Keyboard there are three tabs at the top of the Keyboard in the locations shown in the picture that you must press and unclip. They are located behind each of the keys that are removed.
2. You do not need to remove any keys to unclip the keyboard. We did this for picture purposes only.

3. You can use a small metal spudger to depress each tab to avoid scratching the keyboard.

4. Lift up keyboard so that you are able to see the ribbon cable connected to the contact.

5. Flip up the ZIF connector holding the ribbon cable on the contact as shown in the two pictures and then gently disconnect the ribbon cable.

6. After we remove the Keyboard, you can clearly see the screws under it. Remove the ten 3mm long phillips head screws.

7. Flip over the Lapdock and remove the four 3.5mm long phillips head screws from the bottom.

8. Use a plastic prying tool to take off the bottom case. Make sure that all of the clips are unclipped before trying to remove the case.

9. Unplug battery from motherboard.

10. Remove the battery.

11. Disconnect the two wires that attach to the screen.

12. Now flip the lapdock back over. Using a plastic prying tool, unclip and remove the small plastic cover at the top of the lapdock.

14. Insert wisdom here.

15. Remove the four 3.5 mm long phillips head screws from the two screen flanges holding the screen.
