    Does anyone know how to replace a keyboard on W2p notebook? I have the new keyboard but no idea on how to install it. I searched the internet for documentation and so far not luck.

    any ideas?

    thanks

    There should be 2-3 screws at the bottom of the laptop that is labeled "K >" (K with an arrow). Those are the keyboard release screws and you need to take those off. Once your done, flip it back over and at the top of the keyboard between the gap and the bezel there should be 3-4 plastic retentions, simply use a flat screw driver and push up all the tabs to release the keyboard. After your keyboard is loose, you should see a ribbon cable. Simply release the ribbon retention; usually brown clips along the 2 sides, gently lift it outward in direction of the ribbon or lift it it depends on the type of clip.

    Once your done, simply reverse the directions with your new keyboard. :)
