Remove one screw securing the memory cover and remove the cover. Remove one screw securing the WWAN (wireless wide area network) card cover and remove the cover.
eMachinges 250 netbook has a standard 2.5 SATA hard drive installed. There is only one memory (RAM) slot. In my case I didnt have WWAN card installed.

STEP 4. If you are replacing or upgrading the hard drive, youll have to transfer the mounting bracket (caddy) to the new drive. Simply remove four screws securing the caddy (two from each side) and separate it from the hard drive. Again, in my eMachines netbook I had a regular 2.5 notebook SATA hard drive. Any large SATA hard drive should work fine in this netbook.

STEP 5. Spread latches on both sides of the memory slot and the memory module will pop up at a 30 degree angle. Pull the memory module from the slot by the edges.

In the following steps Im explaining how to remove the keyboard. Its not necessary to go though all previous steps in order to remove the keyboard. There are four knobs and one spring loaded latch securing the keyboard. The spring loaded latch located above the F8 key.
STEP 6. Insert a knife blade between the keyboard and nebook base and lift up the left side of the keyboard. Push the keyboard through small knobs on the left side.

STEP 9. Place the keyboard so you can access the cable connector underneath.
STEP 10. Before you can remove the cable, youll have to unlock the connector. On the following picture the keyboard connector shown in the locked position.

To unlock the connector, move the brown clip about 2 millimeters towards the LCD screen. Works slowly. Do not apply too much force to the clip. The brown clip must stay attached to the white base.
On the following picture the keyboard connector shown in the unlocked position. As you see, the brown clip still attached to the base. Now you can remove the ribbon cable from the connector.

STEP 11. Finally, remove the keyboard and replace it with a new one if needed.
You can search for a new keyboard by one of the part numbers printed on the sticker. Heres wide selection of replacement keyboards for eMachines 250 netbooks.

The keyboard has been removed. Here you get some limited access to the cooling fan. If the fan is dusty, you can blow it off using canned air.

Alex, Im having a bit of trouble with the spped of my internet videos, e.g. youtube. Sometimes there fine, but sometimes the sounds sound like there going in slow motion, i think its the memory, i know you can upgrade it from a standard 1gb memory to a 2gb memory, so i assume its that. If anyone has any other ideas, would be greatful if you could share. Installing more memory will not hurt for sure. Its possible youtube videos running slow because you have many other programs running on your laptop and they are taking all CPU and memory resources. 22 Alex Says:

I was having a problem with the power jack coming loose so when I got my netbook apart I put a couple of dabs of super glue on the bottom of the jack it. I also cut a couple of very small pieces of velcro, (very small), and put behind the jack to try to keep it from moving back inside. Seems to be working so far. I am being more careful also about moving my netbook around when it is plugged in as I am pretty sure thats the cause of the jack coming loose. 20 Marty Says:

Looking for access to secure D/C plug adapter. Tends to work its way loose and become so recessed that the power cord plug wont make the connection. 19 anthony Says:

Thanks for the instructions! There is a sd cardslot on the right hand side, I pushed in a mini sd card adapter for microsd. Ive spent a few hours trying to fish it out. Read the instructions in the emachine manual as to which type of memory cardit accepts.. from my experience stick to sd cards saves you from dismantling the laptop! 18 Yann Says:

Hey there, great demonstration on how to disassemble this machine, although the only thing that is missing to complete the repair is resetting the BIOS as it prompts for a password and I would like to boot from USB to install a different OS, cant get in the BIOS to change the boot order, any suggestions on how to reset BIOS? 17 Tanya Says:
