    • Locate the four 3.1mm Phillips #000 screws that hold the keyboard to the back plate.

    • Using the Phillips #000 Screwdriver, remove the screws from the keyboard.

    • The screws are reverse threaded, so turn them clockwise to remove them.

    • Orient the keyboard so that the side with the keys is facedown on the table.

    • Use either an iFixit iOpener OR a heat gun to melt the adhesive that holds the top half of the keyboard to the bottom.

    • When using a heat gun for removal, only heat the backside of the keyboard to avoid warping the keys.

    • Using a plastic or nylon spudger, pry the two halves of the keyboard apart.

    • If the plastic spudger doesn’t work, it is okay to use a metal spudger, but take care not to scratch or damage the device.

    • Be mindful of the amount of force applied to avoid snapping the keyboard.

    • It will be necessary to use adhesive to ensure that the keyboard is securely in place during reassembly.
