Introduction
Once the battery is removed, you will need to remove the bottom cover. Pull the cover off of the computer. There will be two screws that need to be removed which hold the keyboard in place. You will need a plastic prying tool to push the keyboard out. Carefully remove the two ribbons connecting the keyboard to the laptop and then you can remove the keyboard.
