    If the connector on the motherboard is still attached and only the clip is broken you can try and find a new clip, or perhaps tape the keyboard in place with electrical tape.

    I didn’t need to disconnect and remove the cable. I simply set the keyboard gently to the side. This gave me full access to the two RAM module slots for replacement. Hopefully this will make the procedure easier.

I've replaced my drive as described above.

Can anyone tell me what comes next?

*I turned it on, got dialog on the drive recognized, but I couldn't get it started.

I did try the dell drivers & utilities that came with it with no luck.

I looked into the options under F2, F8 & F12.

No luck there.

I'm still digging through e-how links.

A new hard drive normally doesn't have Windows installed on it. Hopefully you have created the dell recovery dvds when you first obtained the laptop. If you don't have that you can try and download the dvd image from Microsoft at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-....

The guide stopped right before accessing and removing the hard drive. I am trying to figure out how to get the hard drive out without breaking any thing. I really hope all the ribbon cables are still okay. I have removed/installed many a hard drive.memory, cards (etc.) but this is my first with a laptop. I thought the Ipod was tough.

Forgot to mention the screws holding the hd in place
