Lower the keyboard and seat all six tabs along the bottom, so that the keyboard sits flat and
straight.
Note: The next several steps do not apply to the MacBook Pro (17-inch 2.4GHz or Early 2008)
keyboards since they do not have side tabs.
Important: During the next steps, do not allow the tabs or metal edge of the keyboard to
scrape along the cosmetic surface of the top case, or damage can result.
While ensuring that the keyboard bottom stays straight and secure, hold the top of the
4.
keyboard in the middle, then with your other hand, bow in one side of the keyboard to
engage the two tabs at the top into the top case.
Important: Do not bow the keyboard too much, or it may become permanently bent.
