    Generally it goes like this:

    1. Unscrew "K>" screws on bottom of the laptop.
    2. Pop up keyboard latches along top of keyboard using tweezers or credit card. Check on top of the F1-F12 row for the latches.
    3. If keyboard has plastic bezels, they might need to be removed.
    4. Tilt keyboard towards yourself.
    5. Remove keyboard connector. Notice the plastic connector does NOT come out, you just need to slide it upwards and remove the plastic signal cable of the keyboard.

    The KB is now loose.
    Repeat in reverse with the new keyboard to install.
