Z12 - Z14 Keypad Replacement
Z12 - Z14 Keypad replacement steps

Needed tools:
-Flathead screwdriver
-Philips head screwdriver

Remove back cover
-Pop the 3 pin and 4 pin com-connectors out by the Ethernet port (easiest done by using a flat head screwdriver, Picture 1 – Yellow)
-Take out the four screws (Picture 1 - Red)
-Back cover pulls straight off

Disconnect keypad ribbon cable (Picture 2 - Blue)
-Release the small brown bracket holding the cable in by sliding it up
-The cable should come free at that point

Remove the key pad
-This can be done with any fine tipped tool (flathead screwdriver recommended)
-Carefully pry up one of the edges
-There are three layers to this key pad (Outside keys, middle with metal brackets, bottom directly adhered to the clock casing.
-The keypad is just glued with a strong adhesive to the clock casing.
-While removing the keypad it may be a good idea to set the back cover back on (without screws) to protect the insides while prying.

Remove the main board
-Remove the 2 pin connector that attaches to the speaker on the bottom of the board (Picture 2 - Orange)
-Take out the three screws holding it down (Picture 2 - Red)
-Just flip the board up to get it out of the way.

Add new keypad
-Take off the adhesive cover on the back of the new keypad
-Line it up and stick it in the same crevice the old keypad was in
-Make sure to get the ribbon cable through the slot in the top
-Bend the ribbon cable up so that when you put the main board back in the cable is accessible.

Replace the main board
-Place it back in the same position (There are a few little black tabs by the left and right screw holes that will match up) and screw it down.

Connect cables again
-Slide the ribbon cable back into the white connector with the brown bracket. Tighten down the bracket. (Picture 2 - Blue)
-Reconnect the 2-pin speaker cable connector (Picture 2 - Orange)

Replace back cover
-Be sure not to pinch any cables
-Set right on top so the Ethernet, power and USB ports align with the holes in the cover.
-Replace the 4 screws (Picture 1 - Red)
-Replace the 3 pin and 4 pin connectors (Picture 1 - Yellow)
