| [* black] The smaller of the two cables is for the touchpad. Lift the catch on its connector in order to slide it out. | |
| [* black] The larger cable is for the key matrix. Just pull it out from the connector (friction fit). | |
| [* black] This is as far as you can easily disassemble the keyboard. To go further requires undoing 35 plastic "rivets" and 11 screws. This is not recommended, although you could use hot glue to redo the rivets. | |
| - | [* black] To clean the keyboard of liquid, I recommend holding it over a sink with the touchpad side up, then spraying plenty of isopropyl alcohol from the back, avoiding the touch-pad area (you may wish to mask it off). Let dry completely before reassembling. |

| + | [* black] If keys still do not function after cleaning, then it is possible that traces on the key matrix have become corroded. In this case, it is necessary to completely disassemble the keyboard and remove every key in order to expose the matrix sheet and fix any broken traces with conductive ink. This would be a tremendous amount of work. |
