12 While holding the palm rest assembly up, unplug the fan cable. Make sure
that you unplug the connector by grasping the connector, not the cable.
13 Lift the palm rest assembly completely from your notebook.
14 Plug the new palm rest assembly’s fan cable into the notebook, then place
the new palm rest onto your notebook.
15 Replace the palm rest screws. The shortest screw should be used near the
multi-function button contacts, and the longest screw should be used near
the touchpad.
16 Replace the back and the bottom screws.
17 Pull up on the touchpad connector tabs to make sure that the connector
is in the raised position.
18 Slide the end of the touchpad cable into the touchpad connector.
19 Use two fingers to press down on the touchpad connector tabs. This locks
the touchpad cable into the touchpad connector.
20 Reassemble your notebook.
