Abstract
A portable information handling system is assembled and disassembled by a keystone assembly that couples at an upper surface of the portable housing to overlap a keyboard assembly that covers processing components disposed in the portable housing. The keyboard assembly includes a membrane that has contact switches to detect key input presses and is supported by a housing cover that extends members into a housing interior to hold components in position, such as a speaker. The speaker has spring-biased connection pins with a dampener at the speaker housing to dampen vibrations. Contact pads extending from the keyboard membrane communicate speaker signals to the speaker to play audible sounds though the spring-biased connection pins.
