Can someone please try to explain to me how to change out a keyboard on a T machine?
I've did once before with help and can't remember how we did it.
Thank you.

Guys don't try to reinvent the wheel when changing out the keyboard. There is zero reason to lay down the screen. 1. Disconnect the grounding wire (if applicable) and the keyboard wire that is plugged into the UI/MICS board 2. Remove power logic board. 3. Initially "break/loosen" the screw that is blocked behind the power logic board post with a ratcheting offset screwdriver (see link below). 4. Use a slim phillips screwdriver to continue backing that same screw out until loose but leave it in place. 5. Loosen and back out the second screw holding in the keyboard and back it out all the way but leave it in place. 6. Remove the keyboard. 7. Install the new keyboard screwing in the outside screw in first but not tightening all the way. 8. Use a slim phillips screwdriver to screw in the inside screw in place as much as it will allow and finish tightening with your ratcheting offset screwdriver. 9. Finish tightening the outside screw. 10. Attach grounding wire (if applicable) and cable that attaches to the UI/MICS board. 11. Re-install the power logic board and cables. 12. Turn machine on and enter SERVICE MODE to test keys. I can do this in 7 minutes. Offset ratcheting screwdriver link: www.acehardware.com/departments/tools/hand-tools/screwdriver-sets/26297 |

when replacing front display have extra plastic hinges and beware the hinges will fall out and cause the display to fall insure it is supported

Did not have a problem with the hinges, as I had already took the whole card cage out of the machine before posting this thread. Lol
But, it was very helpful having it out to see what Lake Como was talking about. Next time it will be super easy to replace any keyboards without removing the card cage.
Thanks guys.
