Unplug all cables. Slide the grille upwards to remove it. Remove the black plastic film around the display. Unscrew 9 T15 screws: 6 around the top half, and 3 at the bottom, the centre of these being deeply recessed.

Remove the rear cover. Unlock the two keyboard cables from the top of the display and lift the keyboard out. After witnessing the cables, carefully unplug them from the top of the main board: the plugs for the CD and clamper, and ribbon cable for the display. The CD player can now be removed with the clamper mechanism.

Gently remove the dust cover adhered to the top of the CD player. On the bottom plate of the clamper assembly, remove 4 T10 screws, and gently lower the CD player out after again witnessing the position of the cables. Transfer the entire bottom plate and CD player to the new mechanism.

Once the completed mechanism is installed and plugged in, install the keyboard by offering both ribbon cables up to the sockets on the display, tilting the keyboard forwards slightly for access, and lifting the locks of the sockets with the pick or pry tool. The small holes on each side of the display cover allow for access to the outer locks, but it is fiddly.
