Now flip the laptop over and open it up.
Insert a pry tool under the black plastic guard around the edge of the keyboard and pry the guard up. Plastic snaps are holding the guard in place.
You can also do this with your hands once you have enough pried up, but keep in mind that the plastic is thin and capable of breaking if bent too far.
Place the keyboard guard in a safe location out of harm's way.
