Installing Acer Aspire 5100 Keyboard
Step 1 - Keyboard
Open and push the screen back all the way until it is
horizontal with the rest of the laptop.
Locate the panel above the keyboard that has the
power button on it.
Remove this panel by using a spudger to pry up the
sides.
You are using the spudger to release
tabs holding the panel in place.
After you have used the spudger to release the tabs, lift
up the panel.
Step 2
Under the panel, locate and remove the two screws
that connect the keyboard to the laptop. One screw is
located above the F5 button, and the other one is
located above the F10 button.
Lift up the keyboard CAREFULLY because
there is a ribbon that connects the keyboard
to the motherboard.
