Using the #00 screwdriver, unscrew these screws.

Schritt 2

Start from the top right corner of the laptop and work clockwise with an iFixit opening tool or spudger to pry the keyboard from the frame of the laptop.
When prying open a laptop it could require some force, but it also has fragile connectors underneath. Use caution so as to avoid breaking these connectors.

Schritt 3

Gently pull the keyboard in the opposite direction of the screen, so the wires beneath are exposed.
Lift the black flap and pull the blue ribbon gently towards you until it is disconnected.
Lift the white flap and pull the blue ribbon towards you until it is disconnected.

Schritt 4

Lift keyboard slightly and remove the strip gently to prevent damaging any parts.
The tape has no function other than to keep the wire tucked away.

Schritt 5

Set aside the detached keyboard.

Schritt 6

Use a #00 screwdriver to remove the two screws.
Using fingers or the spudger, slide out the black connector indicated on the left.
Undo the black tape located on the bottom from the frame of the laptop.

Schritt 7

Gently remove the speakers.

Schritt 8

Lift the black flaps and gently pull the strip out.
Set the strip aside.
Note the shape that this wire strip is resting at and that the blue tip of the strip goes into the right connector for reassembly.

Schritt 9

Remove the screw.
Use your fingers to pull the white tab out of the black slot above the battery.

While reassembling, the chromebook powered up when I reconnected the battery. Didn’t know how I could power it down, as the keyboard was not connected at this point.
