Sharp PC-MM20 Keyboard Replacement

First, make sure the laptop is powered down. Then, remove the battery from the laptop.

Close the laptop.

Turn the laptop so that the back is facing you.

There will be three screws on the back. Remove each screw by using the screw driver.

Keep the three screws in a safe place. A magnetic pad is an example of a safe place.

Next, flip the laptop so that you can see the bottom.

Remove the screws shown in the picture.

Next, open the laptop and focus on the front of the base of the laptop.

Notice that there are small notches in between the two plates of the laptop. There are several slots such as this that are found across the front base of the laptop.

Take a flat edge and wedge it into the slot to pop it open.

Once the cover is loose, it should be able to shift somewhat freely. However, there are a few more connections holding it together.

Next, use tweezers to delicately remove the flat cable that connects the keyboard to the laptop.

Then, remove the flat cable from the track pad of the laptop.

Now that all the connections are removed, remove the top of the base from the rest of the computer.

Lastly, take the old keyboard out of the base and replace it with the new keyboard.
