Use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to remove the six screws on the back of the keyboard.
Use an opening tool as a wedge between the front and back panel to pry open the front panel.
If the front and back panel won't separate, DO NOT use excessive force. This may result in damaging the keyboard.
Instead, slide the opening tool across the keyboard in between the front and back panel. Go around the edges of the keyboard until the panels disconnect.
Flip the keyboard over so the keys are facing up.
Grabbing the left and right lips of the front panel, lift both ends up, removing the front panel.
