Dear Leo ,Please ignore the alarmists !!!

"Scifisam" Working on any small delicate equipment is possible with good eyesight and at least able to read and follow instructions.A little dexterity is also helpful,if you happen to be a klutz I wouldn't advise trying

THANKS FOR YOUR ARTICLE I GOT 2 BUSTED KEYS ON THIS EXACT MODEL THANK GOD THEY ARE THE FUNCTION AND ONE CONTROL KEY (THERES 2!!)AND AM PLANNING ON BUYING A REPLACEMENT KEYBOARD OFF EBAY AND WAS WONDERING HOW TO TAKE IT ALL APART. I BUSTED THE KEYS REPLACING THE RAM UNDER THE KEYBOARD AND JUST NEEDED TO KNOW HOW TO DISCONNECT THE CABLEKNOW THAT i FIGURED OUT HOW TO TAKE THE KEYBOARD OFF THE HARD WAY. THANKS AGAIN i KNOW HOW TO DO ALL THIS TYPE STUFF ON A DESKTOP BUT THIS WAS MY FIRST LAPTOP.

i spilled orange juice on my laptop and the keyboar won't work. it is a samsung model. is it possible to fix my keboard? thanks

If you have ever replaced a cover on the front of a ( CD rom, Cd RW, or DVD device ), you are more than able to do this. It is not rocket science and I think some of these comments were made by somone who might be trying to discourage some people. They may rather have them take the item to the computer repair shop, so they can pay somone 150 dollars to have it done, plus a mark up on the price of the part. Maybe that is what they do for a living? Stealing from the meek. The procedure shouldn't take more than an hour at tops, and if you have any clue what your doing I would say a half hour or less. Just be careful not to break any plastic clips, and do not force anything to move. Once I went in to have my oil changed in my truck. They wanted entirely too much money to change it and I said so. The young man told me it would be way to hard for me to do it myself....What? I had been changing my own oil for years before that, and NEVER had a problem. It would have just been a convienece to have someone else to do it for me. Do not underestimate yourself. It is darn near as easy as changing ram in a desktop! If you do not know how to do that, well you might not want to try this.....
