Flip the laptop over to begin the process of removing the keyboard.

Use the spudger to pop the keyboard off. Start at the bottom of the keyboard and work your way around.

Pictured are a keyboard cable (partially loosened) and an optional cable for a lighted keyboard. These must be gently removed. Raise the keepers on opposite sides of keyboard cable and slide to remove. If applicable, there will be one solid keeper on the illumination cable - gently raise both sides and slide to remove the cable.
