HP Mini 1000 Keyboard Replacement

With the case closed, place the Mini 1000 top-side down on a flat surface.

Push both of the battery release latches toward each other.

Lift the battery out of the Mini 1000 from the edge closest to the release latches.

Remove the following two screws:

• One 6 mm Phillips screw
• One 4 mm Phillips screw

While pushing through the opening with one hand, grasp the left upper edge with the other hand and slightly pull the keyboard towards you.

Once an opening has been established, grasp the keyboard and slowly lift it upwards along the upper perimeter of the top edge.

Lift the keyboard out of the upper case, minding the cable that is still connecting it to the motherboard.

Use your fingernail or the flat end of a spudger to flip up the retaining flap on the keyboard cable ZIF socket.

Pull the cable out of its socket and remove the keyboard.
