Take the button pads from the old face plate and
move them onto the new one. Just drop the two
pads right in and pat them down, making sure that
they are fully inserted. Also make sure that the
on/off button is oriented the correct way. There are
two tiny holding pins (part of the front cover) that
are actually inserted into the on/off button pad to
help hold it in. Turn the front cover face up to verify
that the button is in correctly. Now, if the transpar-
ent plastic button guide is not attached to the logic
board and is just another part on the table, then
place it on top of the button pads. Make sure that
the plastic guide is not upside down. The bevel side
should be face-up so that each button appears to be
in the center of a crater with sloping sides. Another
way to tell is that most (if not all) of the square
reecting pads on the guide should have the silver
side facing up.
Now drop the logic board back on top of the button
pad (or button guide if not attached to the board).
Make sure that the post at the top of the front cover
has been fully inserted into the hole in the logic
board. Push down gently on the board and reach
your hand around to the front and click the but-
tons so you can feel if the board and front cover are
aligned correctly.
Re-insert the ribbon cable into the connector. Push
it all the way in and close the connecting clamp
slowly and carefully. If you close the clamp quickly
or aggressively, it may come forward too far and ac-
tually detach from the connector. You can reinstall
the clamp, but it can be difcult to do. If this hap-
pens to you, pull the ribbon cable out before you
attempt to reseat the clamp.
With the ribbon cable installed, replace the three
shorter screws that you removed before. Make sure
they are the shorter screws! At this point it is a
good idea to turn the remote face up and simply
press the keys and test that they seem to be aligned
correctly and have the appropriate tactile response.
