Note: Make sure you use the correct screw for replacement.

When replacing the keyboard, make sure that the 3 cables are clean and insert them directly into the connectors, making sure they contact the bottom of the connector. Now press down on the latch of the connector to secure.

Note: If the cables do not touch the bottom of the connector, the keyboard function will be rendered useless.

Attention: The cables of the keyboard are fragile and could be damage. Be careful in pulling out the cables.
