    I need to replace the US standard keyboard by a Portuguese one, that I have already bought from ACER. How can I proceed to do it myself?

    Hope I can get some help. Thanks

    You may want to consult your manual to see if there are screenshots or instructions for removing the keyboard. Most keyboards are held in by latches or small screws on the top and hinged at the bottom under the case. Also, some models have screws that go through the bottom of the laptop and into the keyboard to keep it secure. I wouldn't recommend haphazardly trying to get the keyboard out without some instructions. Perhaps Acer support could provide you with a walkthrough.
