wah... you so lucky got pick up service in your area

First we will start with the keyboard removal:



To remove the keyboard is actually pretty easy. Just take a flat head screw driver small enough to fit inside of the little notches above the keyboard.  There are 5 of them and from left to right we will number them from 1-5. Start with number 2 first and take your screwdriver (be careful not to scratch the plastic) and at an angle press it inside of the hole.  The idea is to move the little clip out of the way that holds the keyboard in place and then remove the screw driver quickly from the hole to cause the section to pop up slightly.  Once you have done that to number 2 move on to 3 then 4 then 5.  After those are all up you should be able to lift up the right hand side of the keyboard in your right hand.  Holding it in your right hand now move on to number 1, press in the hole and move the latch out of the way.  Your keyboard should now be fully removed.



The next step is to remove the two ribbons that connect the keyboard to the motherboard.  They are held down by a latch which needs to be pushed forward on both outside edges to unlock it from its locked position.  You basically just have to take your flat head screw driver and press away from the housing or in this case towards the ribbon to unlock it.  The larger ribbon is your keyboard ribbon and the smaller ribbon powers your backlighting.  Remove both of the ribbons and set your keyboard aside.



Next start on the bottom right of the area under the keyboard.  You will need to remove two screws on the Right hand side.  One is larger and one is small.  The smaller one is a bit recessed and holds a latch in place that we will release here in a second to release the hand rest.  Remove all of the screws on the lower Right hand side and set them aside.  Next you will see a grey latch that has a hole where you just removed a screw from.  Put your screw driver inside of that hold and move the latch to the left.  Be careful not to put your screw driver in too far as you will damage the motherboard.  Once the latch is moved to the left as far as it will go your hand rest will now be released.  The easiest way to pull it up would be to take your fingernails in the middle and try to lift it up a little bit until you can just pull up on the hand rest and it easily comes out.    Before you can fully remove it though there is a ribbon that is connected to the motherboard, release the latch holding the ribbon in place and then remove the hand rest.



Next you are going to concern yourself with all of the screws on the outer edge of the space you just removed your hand rest from.  Move yourself from right to left and remove all screws that you see along the outer edge following the right side edge to the front of the laptop to the left edge.  Now you will be able to remove the plate from the bottom of the computer which hides your hard drive.  Should this plate not remove very easily you probably still have a screw in place that you missed.  Check the screws on the right hand side of the under the keyboard area and all along the outer edge of the area under the hand rest.  You will see a few screws holding the hard drive bracket in place, remove those screws and you will be able to use the black pull tab to pull the hard drive away from where it connects to the chassis.  It should come out easily, keep in mind you are not pulling up, but out and away from where it connects.



To replace the hard drive there are 4 screws on either side of the drive that hold the hard drive in place within the bracket.  Remove each of these screws and the hard drive will slide out.  Put your new drive in and reverse the process.  Now you are going to do everything we just did backwards.  Always keep in mind that you never have to force anything very much to get it out.  The hardest thing will be to remove the hand rest as once you move that release lever to the left it doesn’t really lift the hand rest all the way up but should release just enough for you to get a fingernail underneath there and pull up on it.
