8. Make sure the keyboard locking screw, located in the small plastic tab to the left of the
Num Lock key (Figure 2), is not in the locked position. Your PowerBook comes with
the keyboard unlocked, so unless you or someone else locked the keyboard, you can
skip this step.
To unlock the keyboard, turn the screw 1/2 turn.
