If I remember correctly, you have to push on the keyboard, near the clips, so that it will clip. While pressing on one hand, on one side, you could try with your other hand to reach for the clip inside the bay and see if you can pull it slightly to help the keyboard get in. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] farming n.: [Adelaide University, Australia] What the heads of a disk drive are said to do when they plow little furrows in the magnetic media. Associated with a crash. Typically used as follows: "Oh no, the machine has just crashed; I hope the hard drive hasn't gone farming again."
