Removal of the keyboard on A31p

#1 Post by rmplayer1 » Thu Aug 20, 2009 4:06 pm

I am trying to remove the keyboard from a thinkpad A31p and require assistance. I believe one of the keys must be depressed but can't recall exactly what to do after the screws are removed.
Thank you

Thank you for the Lenova link. It does not come up, probably they have discontinued that address. If you recall the key that must be depressed it would help.

Got the thinkpad apart. The keyboard comes off quite nicely once you loosen it through the hole in the battery compartment.
