Using a small flathead, pry the flathead under the power button/media button strip and pry it up. Make sure the laptop is open 180 degrees. This piece comes off with only that one screw. Be VERY VERY CAREFUL. The ribbon connecting the strip to the motherboard breaks easily. You can disconnect the ribbon by sliding the brown part down and remove the ribbon You can now fix your power button. Joe,
