Toshiba satellite S50-B Keyboard Cover

[david_ward]

I have a Satellite S50-B
It has a metal cover over the top of the leyboard
I need to replace the keyboard
to do that I have to remove the metal cover
Warranty is not an issue for me
Can anyone advise how to remove the top metal cover

This is a new satellite model. Previous models had a keyboard that was easily clicked out from the front.

This can't be done because the keyboard is now covered by a metal cover cut out and the keys push through the cover.

It's this metal cover I need to remove to allow the keyboard to come out

Sorry for the confusion. There are many videos on YouTube for the earlier model keyboard swap but none of those have a cover over the entire front panel.

Thanks I appreciate your replies

it´s not the same satellite you have, but should be equal.

now I see your problem sorry for that

I think it has to be disassembled from the bottom. But I´m searching a bit more

have a look at this similar construction:

or like this one:
