removing the keyboard from 12 inch PB

Hi,



My HD in my 14 month old 12 inch PB had died a screaming death (literally, the sound was horrible). I'd like to replace it myself and I've done this before in my pizmo but I can't figure out how to remove the keyboard, specificlaly the keys.



I have the link to http://www.kodawarisan.com/ which shows the process but I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the F keys to get to the screws.



Any help would be appreciated.



Scott

    They just pop off with a little pressure.

    I just used a pair of big tweezers, gripped one side and gave it a light twist.

    There is a little plastic bracket that fits against the underside of the key itself - don't be alarmed if it seperates from the key. It'll just snap back on.



    I attempted to replace my HD in my 12"PB, but it never came back to life.



    Here's another site that helped me when I took mine apart.



    Good luck.

    Thanks. That site looks great. Any idea what happened with your system? Why it didn't come back?
