    • Pull the keyboard release tabs toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free. Note that the keyboard ribbon is still attached to the logic board, so you cannot completely remove the keyboard yet.

    • If the keyboard does not come free, use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the keyboard locking screw (between F4 and F5 key) 180 degrees in either direction and try again.

    • Rotate the keyboard away from the screen and rest it face-down on the trackpad area.

    • If your computer does not have an airport card, you can skip the next two steps.

    • Grasp the clear plastic tab on the airport card and pull up and toward the display.

    Note to those who want to install an airport card to a laptop here that doesn't have a card. The proper orientation is with the bar code facing up, and the "Airport" artwork and logo facing down. There are small slots on the bottom of the card that fit into pins below the trackpad. You will know it is properly slotted because the top of the card will touch the handles of the RAM shield.

    The proper orientation of the antenna is that it is plugged in from the right side of the top of the airport card, with the cable winding up from the right to the left.
