Removing the Installed Keyboard
To replace the keyboard in your PowerBook, follow these steps:
1Place your computer on a clean, flat surface.
2Shut down your computer, remove the battery from the expansion bay, and disconnect the power adapter, modem, and any other cables connected to the computer.
Warning: Always turn off your computer before opening it to avoid damaging its internal components.
Warning: The internal components of your PowerBook may be hot. If you have been using your PowerBook, wait 30 minutes after shutting down your computer to let the internal components cool down before continuing.
3Make sure that the keyboard locking screw is not in the locked position. Your new PowerBook comes with the keyboard unlocked, so unless you or someone else locked the keyboard, you can skip this step.
