Remove the keyboard
  • Take a deep breath - this is the most obnoxious portion of the disassembly.

  • First, the two black tape covers must be removed (highlighted in orange).

  • Neither is on super tight, and both can be done with only your hands.

  • For the larger one, it helps to start near the hinge, move down, and then move across. Be careful along the hinge edge! There are some cutouts that can easily tear.

  • Next, looking at image two, there are two locked ribbon cables (orange boxes) and 32 (thirty-two!!) tiny Phillips screws (red circles) to remove. Have fun!

  • The keyboard can then be simply lifted out of the case.
