Replacing the Keyboard 
1.  Place the keyboard face-down on the palm rest, with the keyboard flex ca\
ble pointing toward the back of the computer. 
NOTICE: To avoid damage to the connector pins, insert the keyboard flex cable 
evenly into the ZIF connector on the system board, and do not reverse th\
e 
keyboard flex cable. 
2.  Ensure that the ZIF connector is open by pulling the ZIF connector tabs \
toward  the back of the computer. 
3.  Press the keyboard flex cable into the ZIF connector. 
4.  Close the ZIF connector by pushing the ZIF connector tabs toward the fro\
nt of  the computer.

dded near 
the end of the flex cable. Press the cable into the connector until the \
blue line 
disappears and hold the cable steady while you close the ZIF connector. \
(The blue 
line may reappear after the connector is closed, which should not indica\

problem with the connection.)
NOTICE: Position the keyboard flex cable so that it is not pinched when you 
replace the keyboard in the bottom case. 
5.  Rotate the keyboard back and fit it into the bottom case. 
6.  Ensure that all four keyboard securing tabs are engaged in their respect\
ive slots  before trying to completely seat the keyboard. Press down on the left an\
