Hello,
Step one: Remove the two screws from the bottom of
the computer that are holding down the Toshiba Satellite A100-S8111TD
Keyboard bezel. The bezel is the bar that sits right above all the
function keys.
Step two: Turn the computer over, open the cover and insert the credit card or guitar pick between the bezel and the laptop screen.
The bezel has pegs that sit in holes, you need to slowly pry up the
bezel. It will make a bit of a popping noise as it is removed.
Step three: Now hold on to the laptop keyboard
from the end closest to the screen and gently pull it away from the
touch-pad end and flip it over. You will see the ribbon attached to the
underside of the Toshiba Satellite A100-S8111TD Keyboard. There is a
little plastic connector holding the ribbon to the computer. To unlock
it, carefully pull up on the two tabs; one located on each corner of the
connector. Be very gentle when you do this as this is the one part that
gets broken the most often when changing a keyboard. The
ribbon cable
will now be released.
Step four: Carefully pull the ribbon out of the connector and remove it along with the entire Toshiba Laptop Keyboard.
Final step: To insert the new Toshiba Satellite
A100-S8111TD Keyboard, place the board face down so you have easy
access to the ribbon. Make sure the keyboard
is lined up so when you flip it back over the keys are in the correct
position. Keep the ribbon straight at all times; twisting it could
damage it. Place the ribbon in the connector; it only goes in one way.
Once in place, push down on the connector tabs to lock it. Now flip the
keyboard over and slide it down toward the touch pad and take the bezel
and line the pegs up with the holes and push it in place. Then turn the
computer over and replace the two screws you removed from the bottom.
You can now power on your computer and see if the
Toshiba Satellite A100-S8111TD Keyboard works. If it is not working, more than likely the ribbon was not inserted properly.
