I'm unable to remove my keyboard from my laptop. Please help.

I'm trying to clean my laptop fan due to overheating. So I tried to disassemble my laptop but i'm stuck at the stage where the keyboard should be removed. My laptop model is HP Pavilion dv6-6144ca and I've looked up its manual on removing the keyboard. The manual (pages 71-72 http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02842252.pdf )
instructs to do the following things to remove the keyboard:
1. Remove the Phillips PM2.5×4.0 screw that secures the keyboard to the computer.
2. Rest the computer on its left side.
3. Open the computer.
4. Insert a screw driver or similar thin tool into the keyboard screw hole, and then press on the back
of the keyboard until the keyboard disengages from the computer.
5. Turn the computer right-side up with the front toward you.
6. Lift the rear edge (1) of the keyboard, and then slide the keyboard (2) back until the keyboard cable is accessible.
I'm stuck on step 4. I've tried pushing a screwdriver and then the stick part of a cotton swab through the hole, but I still can't seem to disengage the keyboard, as it should like it's shown in the manual, from the laptop. I even put a lot of pressure when pushing, but still no luck. So I stopped it because I felt I could break something if I put any more pressure than I already did.
I don't know what to do. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Please help. 

Hi HP-66, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that you are having difficulty removing your keyboard. Take a look at this YouTube video between 1:45-2:12 which shows someone successfully removing the keyboard.

  • Unable to sync mobile me and my laptop, Please help:)

    I've been having issues syncing my laptop and mobile me. I get the response that there are conflicting issues on my computer, which it's requiring me to resolve and then reset. I've made sure my system is up to date and I've even gone to the extent of erasing my ical on my computer so that I can reset my ical from the info located on the internet. But I'm still getting the message that I have conflicting issues. Which I don't understand because my ical on my computer is empty! I'm getting frustrated. Please help.

    Questions for you:
    So when you reset the sync data from MobileMe down to the computer, iCal remained blank and did not receive the calendars that are online, is that correct?
    Did you sign up for the MobileMe Calendar Beta?
    If you are NOT using the MobileMe Calendar Beta:
    __Create a new user account on the Mac: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8235.html
    __Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > MobileMe and sign in with your name and password
    __Click on the Sync tab
    __Check off Synchronize with MobileMe.
    __Check off "Calendars" in the list of items to sync
    __Click on Advanced.
    __Click on the reset sync data button.
    __Click on the arrow to go from MobileMe cloud down to the computer
    __Click replace.
    __Launch iCal and check to see if the calendar data that is on MobileMe is now in iCal.
    __If the calendars do show up in iCal here:
    __Go to File > Export > iCal Archive and save the file to desktop
    __Take the resulting ICBU file and put it in Macintosh HD > Users > Shared
    __Log into the main user account
    __Go to Macintosh HD > Users > Shared and drag the ICBU file to the desktop
    __Double-click the file and it will restore all the calendars into iCal
    __If the calendars now show up in iCal back in the main user try syncing with MobileMe

  • Unable to remove this item from GRIR.  It was a consignment PO receipt done

    Hi Guys,
    The user saying that"unable to remove this item from GRIR.  It was a consignment PO receipt done improperly, so it needs to be deleted".
    Because of this the the material documet which shows $6725.43-(Negative) in GRIR account.when i check this this transation was originated through MI10(Physical inventory differenvces posting).May be user done wrongly.
    Now the problem is this
    -          how this transaction originated?
    -          Why is this posted to GR/IR account?
    -          How do we correct the open item in the GR/IR account?
    -          What need to happen to rectify the mistake?
    can any tell me how can we do this,i will be greatful to u.
    Thanks&Regards,

    Hi Jurgen,
    when i check the material document and accounting document,it was showing that said amount in negative sign and transaction done by MI10 means posted differences with out reference to document.
    it means the user may entered wrongly i think.
    was there any GRIR account for MI10?
    MI10 does not have reversal or cancel?
    so how to resolve it?
    as per my idea it can be done by FI posting.
    please help to resolve.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

  • Unable to remove a host from VMM - Error (2606) Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.

    I am unable to remove a host from my Virtual Machine Manager 2012 R2. I receive the following error:
    Error (2606)
    Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job.
    Recommended Action
    To find out which job is locking the object, in the Jobs view, group by Status, and find the running or canceling job for the object. When the job is complete, try again.
    I have already tried running the following command in SQL Server Management Studio
    SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
    I received this error back:
    Msg 8169, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
    Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.
    I have also tried rebooting both the host and the Virtual Machine Manager Server.  After rebooting them both, I still receive the same error when trying to remove the host.
    Here are my server details
    VMM Server OS = Windows 2012 Standard
    VMM Version = 2012 R2 3.2.7510.0
    Host OS = Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter
    Host Agent Version = 3.2.75.10.0
    SQL Server OS = Windows 2012 Datacenter
    SQL Version = 2012 SP 1 (11.0.3000.0)

    Hi there,
    How many hosts are you managing with your VMM server?
    The locking job might be the background host refresher job. Did you see any jobs in the jobs view, when the host removal job failed?
    If there is no active jobs in the jobs view when this host removal job fails, can you please turn on the VMM tracing, retry the host removal, and paste back the traces for the failed job (search for exception and paste the whole stack)?
    Thanks!

  • Apple TV unable to remove tv shows from favorites

    After the latest upgrade I am unable to remove tv shows from favorites and when I rearrange the icons they go back to the previous order after a few minutes.  Is anyone having this issue?  Any ideas on a resolution or is this just another of the many bugs in the latest release?

  • "Unable to load workflow actions from server. Please contact your server."

    I get the following error message when I want to create or open a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2007
    "unable to load workflow actions from server. Please contact your server
    administrator."
    I don't receive this error as a site collection administrator, but one of my contributors gets the error.

    What Chris mentioned is kind of abnormal situation described in
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA102379121033.aspx#20.
    However, normally, you won’t be able to create SPD workflow if you only have Contribute permission level. I give the user Design permission level then he can
    create SPD workflow.
    There are other factors affecting permission to create SPD workflow:
    1.     
    According to
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101005871033.aspx#4
    , the SPD workflows are stored in a site-level hidden document library called Workflows. You should make sure that user have permission in this document library so that the created workflow can be saved successfully.
     http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepointdesigner/archive/2008/11/25/locking-down-sharepoint-designer.aspx
    describe the method to manage permission for this hidden Workflows document library: open the site in SharePoint Designer >> right-click the Workflows library >> click Properties >> click the Security tab >> click the link “Manage
    permissions using the browser”
    2.     
    SharePoint Designer contributor setting (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointdesigner/HA101174691033.aspx
    ) can also block the user from being able to create workflows.

  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

  • Can someone please tell me how to remove music just from my device please? Many thanks. Steve.

    Can someone please tell me how to remove music just from my device please? Many thanks. Steve.

    >> then I get a completely blue screen.
    That probably means that you're not looking at a bug in Photoshop, but a problem with a driver - and the most likely cause would be your video card driver.
    And sure enough, your video card driver is almost 2 years out of date.
    Please go to NVidia's website and get the latest driver - then follow their directions for installation (so you don't get bits of old driver left over).

    Go to your Control panel and then look at "Programs" and click on Uninstall programs and from there scroll down to the Open Office program and click on it and uninstall it.
    Or see this GUI link...

    If you have iPhoto '09, you cannot browse or restore seleted items from your backups.  See the pink box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    Mail should work, however, per the blue box there.
