Removing the Keyboard Contact Strips
1. Place the keyboard upside down on a at soft surface. Be sure that the keys are resting
on a soft surface to avoid scratching or other damage.
2. Follow the procedure to remove the Keyboard Contact Board(s).
3. Examine the keyboard contact strips and look at the design of an individual contact.
The top portion of the contact has two indentations. One indentation is deeper than the
other. When replacing the keyboard contact strips, the deeper indentation is positioned
closest to the edge of the contact PCB.
4. The keyboard contact strips have mounting pegs that secure the contact strips to the
Keyboard Contact PCBs.
5. To remove a keyboard contact strip, gently lift and free the strip from its position. Be
careful not to rip or damage any contact in the process.
Replacing the Keyboard Contact Strips
1. Position the contact strip on the Keyboard Contact PCB that you are servicing.
Note: Be sure that the deeper indentation is positioned closest to the edge of the contact PCB.

2. Line up the contact strip mounting pegs with their respective mounting holes on the
Keyboard Contact PCB.
3. Using a small blunt-end tool (Q-Tip, toothpick, etc.), gently push the mounting pegs
through the holes. Do not use too much force or use a tool that can poke a hole through
the mounting pegs. However, be sure that the mounting pegs are installed through the
holes and the contact strip is at against the Keyboard Contact PCB at each peg location.
