How to remove this type of keyboard from a Samsung Netbook?

[pm3009]

Hello. I found a replacement keyboard for my son's Samsung NF310 Netbook but I haven't been able to figure out how to remove the keyboard. The keyboard is not working and it works fine with a USB keyboard. I want to make sure I'll be able to remove this keyboard before I order the new one. The keyboard on this netbook is in the link below, and there's a skin covering it. Do I remove this type of keyboard from the top of the bottom? I am assuming i have to remove it from the top. I found youtube videos for Samsung laptops, but the keyboards are tototally different with no skin covering it. Thanks, Pam

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

I emailed US PC parts, and they said it's hard to remove the keyboard without special tools, so they advised me to buy the keyboard with the attached plate and said it's easy to swap out with the attached plate. It's $95 with the attached plate versus $68 without the plate. There's a small crack in the plate on the right of the keypad, so I may as well replace the plate too. My son dropped it 6 feet to the floor from his top bunk in his dorm. Netbook seems to work find other than the keyboard that is messed up. Thanks!
