Removing and Replacing Parts: Dell Inspiron 4100

The key caps on the keyboard are fragile, easily dislodged, and time-consuming to 

replace. Be careful when removing and handling the keyboard. 

4.  Remove the center control cover: 

a.  Use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or plastic scribe to lift the right edge of the center 

control cover and pry it loose from the bottom case. 

b.  Lift the center control cover up and away from the bottom case. 

 

5.  To release the keyboard from the palm rest, use a small, flat-blade screwdriver or plastic scribe 

to pull up on the scalloped edge of the blank key on the keyboard.
