    I want to replace the keyboard in my new r61 . when I open it up, the connector from the thinkpad to the main board is a black square rubber and under it is a metal square. I have tried to pull out the metal square but it won't move. Could you tell me how to remove the keyboard? thanks

    Thanks. But I watched that movie before . The image too small and the hand of the technician too big . I cannot see how he disconnect the connector of the keyboard. Anyone has real experience in replacing thinkpad keyboard? thanks

    You just unplug a connector. There's only a single cord connecting the keyboard to the computer and that's all you disconnect.

    Have you tried the video located here?
