Dear Michael Greenberg,

The steps for replacing the keyboard is not available. I suggest that you bring the computer to any third party repair shop to be able to replace the keyboard of the computer.


Respectfully,

Aren't most places like that? They don't want you breaking more things and so the manuals are not available? I remember when I worked at a computer company we had every laptop manual online from all the manufacturers but it wasn't readily available to the public. you had to know techs or someone who had accumulated the holy grail.
