Sidekey Board

The sidekey board is located on the bottom left side of the computer (viewed from behind) under the main rear cover. It is secured with two Torx screws and has one connector.

The associated cable connects to the front power switch assembly. To remove this cable, you must remove the stand bracket, disassembly of which is shown later in this document at Stand bracket on page 75.
