2. Ensure that the ZIF connector is open by pulling the ZIF connector tabs toward the back of the computer.
3. Press the keyboard flex cable into the ZIF connector.
4. Close the ZIF connector by pushing the ZIF connector tabs toward the front of the computer.
To aid with proper flex cable connection, a locator line has been added near the end of the flex cable. Press the cable into the connector until the line
disappears and hold the cable steady while you close the ZIF connector. (The white line may reappear after the connector is closed, which should not
indicate a problem with the connection.)
5. Rotate the keyboard back and fit it into the bottom case.
6. Ensure that all four keyboard securing tabs are engaged in their respective slots before trying to completely seat the keyboard. Press down on the left
and right <Alt> keys to help control tab/slot alignment.
When the keyboard appears to be completely seated, confirm that the front edge of the keyboard is aligned with the edge of the palm rest before
proceeding.
7. Replace the four M2 x 4-mm screws on the bottom of the computer.
