How to use

To replace an existing keyboard, power off the laptop, disconnect the battery if possible, and remove the necessary bezel or screws to access the keyboard assembly following the laptop manufacturer’s service instructions. Disconnect the old keyboard’s ribbon cable and carefully connect the replacement keyboard’s connector, ensuring correct orientation and secure latch. Reassemble the bezel or retaining screws and reconnect power. After installation, verify that all keys and the backlight operate correctly in the operating system and BIOS if applicable.
