To remove the keyboard, follow these steps:
1. Remove the hinge covers.
If the hinge covers are tight, use a plastic wedge or scribe to loosen them.
2. Remove the connector cover.
Start from the right side and gently pry the connector cover from the
computer.
CAUTION: When reinstalling the connector cover, be sure the rout-
ing of the I/R cable (see Figure 4-22) is correct. If the wires of the I/R
cable are not replaced correctly, in relation to the tabs of the connec-
tor cover, future removal of the cover may not be possible.
