How to use

Power down the laptop and disconnect any external power and batteries if removable. Remove the display bezel or bottom cover as required by the EliteBook 650 G10 disassembly procedure to access the keyboard mounting points and connector. Carefully detach the existing keyboard cable, release retaining clips, and remove the old keyboard. Position the replacement Dutch backlit keyboard, secure mounting points, and reconnect the keyboard ribbon cable. Reassemble the laptop components and power on to verify backlight functionality and correct key mapping in the operating system.

Usage recommendations

The keyboard should be installed following HP service guides or by a trained technician to avoid damage to the display, ribbon cable, or connectors. Use gentle pressure when handling the ribbon connector and avoid bending the cable sharply. Test keyboard and backlight operation before final reassembly. If backlight does not activate, check BIOS settings and power management options that control keyboard illumination.
