What about step 4 detaching the ribbon cable?
yes missing the part of the 2 ribbon cables, one of them (the lighting) is not reachable like this..
you have to take out the battery, and then remove the back cover to reach the ribbon for the lighting
This is totally wrong. DO NOT REMOVE they keyboard guard; it's NOT REMOVABLE!!!! Instead pry off the strip of plastic above the keyboard that says "DYNA AUDIO" and the screws for the keyboard will be revealed. Also there are two additional screws on the bottom of the unit that have to be removed for the keyboard to come off.
