• How do I go about disconnecting my laptop's keyboard?
    2 replies, posted
I am taking apart my laptop in order to clean it, but I can't figure out how to unplug the ribbon cable for my keyboard without risking damage to the cable or other components. I have a fairly old Compaq Presario CQ60. Sorry if this isn't thread worthy.

Its hard to tell from the picture quality but those white tabs on the sides of the ribbon slot should pop up, releasing the plastic "clamp" piece.
