How to remove your Dell Inspiron 1420 Keyboard
!!! Always ensure your machine is unplugged from the mains & the battery is removed before you start !!!
-
Turn off the laptop if it is running. Removing the Dell Inspiron 1525 keyboard while the laptop is running may cause accidents.
-
Remove those screws with a T-8 or Phillips screwdriver.
-
Turn the laptop back over and open it up. Check and see if the Dell Inspiron 1525 keyboard is tucked under any plastic pieces. If so, find if those plastic pieces are screwed into anything, and unfasten them as well. If not, it probably uses clamps that can easily be removed.
-
Remove the plastic pieces carefully with a toothpick or plastic pick if there is any in the way.
-
Unscrew any screws at the top (if necessary) and remove the Dell Inspiron 1420 keyboard itself from top to bottom. You'll notice that the keyboard is connected with a thin, but wide, data cable to the system board at the bottom.
-
Take that same pick and lift the plastic connectors that hold in this data cable in place. Carefully remove the data cable. Now the whole Dell Inspiron 1420 keyboard should be free.
