Keep an eye out to make sure the ribbon cable is still attached to the clip. Gently lay the keyboard in place, making sure the metal nub in the middle of the keyboard, sinks into the hole in the top chassis. You will notice that the top of the chassis has a small clip moulded into the top of the chassis. As you lay the keyboard down, you will want to make sure that one side of the keyboard attaches under one of them. Then work your way from this side of the board, pushing down on the from of the keyboard, till the clips attach to the black metal edge. Finally, you will need to push the other side of the keyboard down into the other moulded clip in the top chassis. There should be gentle clicks as you do this. IF there is a bulge inthe middle of the keyboard, try to get it to seat, by gently pushing down on the bulge. If this doesn't work, try removing the keyboard again, and making sure that the nub on the keyboard is fulling inserting into the hole in the top chassis. Finally, screw the "K" screw we removed from the base of the machine in Step One by closing the screen. Otherwise, your keyboard, might fall out, and you'll have to start over. Don't overtighten the screw. After you got that done, turn on the keyboard, and check all the keys one by one in Word or Notepad. If they all work, great! If they don't, you might have to try again from the ribbon cable step. Related Products
