    screw assignments are definitely wrong. I swapped the red and the green, as per comment above, and kept the blue as-is.

    jasonbuechler - Contestar

    correct, swap the green and red

    Thanks everyone. It does seem like someone got their screws mixed up when they wrote this guide. I’ve made some changes as you all suggested, so the screw placements should be more accurate now. If anyone with this laptop could verify the screw measurements with a digital caliper, that’d also be very helpful.

    • Invert the laptop in order to gain access to the ribbons.

    • Remove each ribbon by flipping the small white plastic flap up and gently pulling on the ribbon.

    Don't remove the ribbons, just move the keyboard slightly forward to remove the old battery and insert the new one (just make sure they are all connected when you put it back)

    • Now that the ribbons have been detached from the bottom cover, carefully remove the keyboard plate cover. Once it has been removed, place it in a safe and moisture free area so it does not get damaged.

    Is painting your nails crucial for step 5?

    wiedzmin - Contestar

    Yes and you have to put lotion on

    joemidjette - Contestar

    Now, that is a stupid question! Of course! As I am working on 551M, I naturally have to have nails painted orange, with blue accents!

You mixed up the red and green screws, sizes are wrong.

The red screws are 9.5 not 14.3!

the yellow screws are 4.3 (mixed up with 14.3 ?) not 9.5 !

You do NOT need to remove the ribbons, just use a small screwdriver.

Tony - Contestar

Same issue as Tony on 09/03/2014

The screw sizings are mixed up. The red screws are 9.5, not 14.3

The yellow screws are 14.3 not 9.5. Please fix the repair guide text

Mevlan Coma - Contestar

It should be fixed now! Thanks to both of you for the tip. By the way, you can always edit the text yourself. ;)

Jeff Suovanen -

Thanks for the info!

Abe Aleman - Contestar

All went well until it came to replacing the ribbon cables. Tried and tried, and couldn’t get them to stay in place. Had to call in a computer repair chap who fixed them in a couple of minutes. After that, everything was fine.

Edgar Freeman - Contestar

My ribbon has a split in it. Is it still useable?

Tom - Contestar

Hi, does this guide work for a P551CA too? The back looks like the same…

Thanks : )
