    I'm not ready to poke around with a screwdriver and risk breaking anything. I can't for the life of me figure out how to access the keyboard screws to do a replacement on my trusty C500. I don't need a keyboard right now but I am going to buy a replacement while they're easy to find and cheap. I plan on keeping it handy.

    Has anyone replaced a keyboard for a C500? The user manual gives no indication and there is NO service manual that I can find on the HP website at ALL for this model, oddly. I don't know what piece of plastic I need to pry or whatnot to get at the laptop.

    Maybe someone here could post a pic or something? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place for the service manual?

    Thanks folks. Been reading threads here for years.
