Dell Latitude D631 (Early 2009) - Manual (Page 116)

116 Adding and Replacing Parts
1 Follow the instructions in "Before You Begin" on page 113.
2 Remove the hinge cover (see "Hinge Cover" on page 115).
NOTICE: The keycaps on the keyboard are fragile, easily dislodged, and time-consuming to replace. Be careful
when removing and handling the keyboard.
3 Remove the three screws across the top of the keyboard.
NOTE: Lift the keyboard carefully in step 4 to ensure that you do not pull on the keyboard cable.
4 Rotate the keyboard up 90-degrees and lay it on the palm rest to gain access to the keyboard connector.
5 If the keyboard cable is held in place by a keyboard lock arm next to the keyboard connector, carefully
pivot the lock arm upward to uncover the cable.
6 Pull up on the pull-tab to disconnect the keyboard cable connector from the keyboard connector on the
system board.
NOTE: When you replace the keyboard, ensure that the keyboard tabs are completely in place to avoid scratching
the palm rest.
