Keyboard : Dell Latitude C400 Service Manual
To aid with proper flex cable connection, a white locator line has been added near the end of the
flex cable. Press the cable into the connector until the white line disappears and hold it steady
while you snap the flex cable connector down. (The white line may reappear after the connector is
closed; this should not indicate a problem with the connection.)
NOTICE: Position the keyboard flex cable so that it is not pinched when you replace the
keyboard in the bottom case.
Keyboard Replacement
1 keyboard securing tabs (5)
4. Carefully rotate the keyboard back and fit it into the bottom case.
Ensure that all five securing tabs are engaged in their respective slots before trying to completely
seat the keyboard. Fitting the tabs to the slots may be easiest when viewed from above and
slightly behind the front edge of 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.
5. Replace the four M2 x 4-mm screws at the back of the keyboard.
