Lift open the laptop screen and flip it around so that the keyboard is facing up.

Insert a plastic opening tool into one of the corners to create a gap between the bottom panel and the keyboard panel.

Guide the plastic opening tool around the perimeter of the panel to detach all the clips that are supporting it in place.

Do not pull the panel off by one corner as it can cause damage to the plastic.

Detach the keyboard panel from the frame.

There are two ribbon cables attached to the keyboard and trackpad so do not pull the keyboard panel away until you disconnect these ribbons in the next step.
