Thank you for these clear and easy instructions. I have just followed them to replace the keyboard in my Inspiron 9400 (which Dell, to their credit, replaced under extended warranty, next day.)

I had assumed that step 1 worked the way you said, but it is reassuring to see pictures of someone else doing the same thing

Step 4, on the other hand, was an absolute winner for me – I’m certain that, had I not seen your guide, I just would have tugged until the motherboard broke.

Thanks again.

Excellent guide. Thank you for the help. FYI, same instructions work for the DELL PRECISION M6300.

I had a 9400 that I was keeping around for parts, removed the keyboard and put it into the Precision using these instructions.

Thank you for your site. I am director of a non-profit library, and money is scarce. I am sure you saved me $125 in replacing a keyboard. Sorry I don’t have extra money to donate, but I wanted you to know I appreciate what you do.
Best of luck
