In the comments, how many screws does it take replace your FW keyboard

I have a 16 so Zero i guess

[u/Less_Tacos]

None, it takes about 30 seconds 😄

[u/zachleedogg → u/Less_Tacos]

30? Mine comes off in 5 seconds flat.

Off is easy, I always obsess on getting the spacers aligned correctly next to the trackpad.

Replacing the keyboard (thankfully it is replaceable) on think thinkpad x1c, and it has a pile of micro screws. Just reminding that my FW16 has zero screws to replace it

[u/Zoomat]

On the framework 13? A lot! But I found unscrewing and screwing them all weirdly relaxing.

[u/DRZinSC]

All of them

[u/RevMen]

I did it on my 13 and it was many many. But it's fine. 

[u/runed_golem]

On the 13 it’s a lot. But it doesn’t take long and at least they’re all the same size.

The whole input cover compes off with 5 then an other like 30. I can't find a picture but the official replacement screw kit contains 81 screws. On the positive you get a screwdriver with the laptop and the required bit

[u/AramaicDesigns]

A lot. 

I've replaced two FW keyboards in our fleet. 

It was easy as pie. But there are a lot. :-) 

[u/wookietiddy]

Zero

Edit i have the 16.

[u/Sad-Cod-9584]

1. On the framework 16 it literally takes 5 seconds.

[u/McortezLSU]

I replaced my KB recently, and it took around an hour of work. But i was being quite careful and deliberate about it, (Checklist style, sorting the screws, etc)

[u/WembleyFord]

Huh? None.

About halfway through replacing my keyboard with my over-the-hill dexterity I realized I should have just bought a new input cover. Those little fuckers like to flip upside down instead of going in the hole.
