Next, push back the 4 tabs (NV53A and NV59C) as sh wn (photo 1) to unlock the keyboard. The NV55C has 6 tabs.
You can use a small flathead screwdriver or similar tool. Photo 2 shows a closeup of one of the tabs. The tabs are
above the 'F4', 'F8', 'F12' and 'DEL' keys on the NV53A and NV59C models. Additional tabs 'ESC' and 'Speaker Up
Volume' are on the NV55C model. Now, just pull upward on the keyboard and lay it on its face to gain access to the
