The cable retainer came loose when unplugging the power button board cable. How do I re-install it?

Hey, many thanks for this guide. My Dell was shutting down, probably due to heat issues and your guide helped me take it apart and clean the whole computer! Seems to be running great. Thanks again!

Have always HATED taking apart laptops. Your guide, though, is the BEST one I’ve ever seen! Thank you so much! I followed it forwards and backwards and for once I only ended up with ONE extra screw. Amazing. Thanks again…

I was wondering if anyone could tell me the model # of the CMOS battery holder for this laptop Dell Inspiron N7110. Any help would be great. I broke the clip that holds the battery in snug.

Hello, I did all of this, I connected it all back up, but for some reason all of my keys are working except for my ESC key. Do you know what I would have to do to get this working again? There are no driver problems and I connected the cables perfectly, I even disconnected and reconnected them about three times. I have no idea what else to do.

Got a new SSD drive for my N7110, and this guide was exactly what I needed. Perfect replication of steps to replace the HD, fully dis- and re-assembled in less than 20 minutes. Thanks!

Thank you for the detailed instructions. This was my first foray into laptop guts and I successfully took it all apart and fixed the loose connection caused when my son dropped it. Seems all better now.

I was working on a N7010 when I realized your post I had called up was about N7110. Removing the keybd was the toughest part of disassembly. The assembly problem was the power connector lockdown latch came out of the connector socket. After struggling and almost loosing it I got a small hemostat the enabled me to hold it securely and put it place. Thanks for your great pics and info.
