Hi, I'm looking to replace the Norwegian keyboard in my laptop with a Russian one as I could not get a model with a Russian keyboard installed here in Norway. I bought the keyboard off ebay and have looked at it and it seems like it will fit in the chassis. I'm wondering if there are any instructions on how to replace the keyboard and maybe some tips on how to avoid ruining anything during removal such as the edges of the top cover. I couldn't find anything in the service manual pertaining to keyboard replacement. By the way, I do realize that I will probably void the warranty by replacing the keyboard but I just really dislike having to type Russian on this keyboard.

This video will be helpful and will show what you have gotten yourself into. Instead of using your thumbnails to pry apart the two halves of the casing I would use a credit card or a proper spudger tool. In order to remove the island keyboard from the chassis you have to go past where this guy went and remove the system board to get the keyboard off the top cover from the back.
