When replacing the KB, don'f forget the double sided fiberglass tape. The regular CF-29 KB is a backbone of thin aluminum sheeting, Most likely when you "pop" off the KB, its likely to bend. When you install a bent KB, it bounces when you type. Bend it back and tape it down with new tape. With the CF-30, removing that KB is totally different. Its locked down by brackets, not taped. You need to slide it forward unlocking it before popping it off, otherwise your KB keys start breaking. Be soft and confident, because you bet one chance to do it correctly.
