    • Pull the keyboard release tabs toward you and lift up on the keyboard until it pops free. Note that the keyboard ribbon is still attached to the logic board, so you cannot completely remove the keyboard yet.

    • If the keyboard does not come free, use a small flathead screwdriver to turn the keyboard locking screw (between F4 and F5 key) 180 degrees in either direction and try again.

    • Rotate the keyboard away from the screen and rest it face-down on the trackpad area.

I love that iFixit will sell you a quarter ($0.25) for $2.99 plus tax and shipping, another $3.29 shipping (totally reasonable), and sales tax for my location - the total is $6.59. I wish I could sell quarters for $6.59. 🤣
