HP Compaq 515 Keyboard Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

Removing the keyboard takes some patience but it isn't outrageously difficult. The only tools needed for this replacement guide are the PH1 screwdriver bit and the plastic spudger. Make sure to keep the two screws that are removed in a safe place so you don't lose them. Make sure the device is off before starting this guide. Be careful to not be too aggressive with the keyboard, it does take some force to separate it from the rest of the device but try to still be as gentle as possible.
