HP Pavilion dv4-2045dx Keyboard Replacement

Locate the two grey tabs on the right and left sides of the ribbon cable.

Push both grey tabs up towards the back side of the laptop with your fingers or a plastic spudger.

The metal spudger is great when you need serious prying power, but it is not ESD safe, and may cause further damage to your device. The regular black nylon spudger or a plastic opening tool should be used whenever possible.

When the two gray tabs are pulled up, you are ready to go on to the next step.
