    • When using the metal spudger, be careful to not press into the components and circuits under the keyboard.

    • Turn the laptop upright and lift the screen.

    • Use metal spudger to carefully pry the plastic keyboard from the base of the laptop.

    • Work the spudger carefully and slowly around the cover to release the clips holding it together. Be sure to be patient since there are a lot of clips attaching the laptop base to the keyboard.

    • Gently lift up the keyboard.

    • The cover is attached by multiple cables. Be careful not to lift the cover too far so you do not damage these cables.

    • Using tweezers, unplug the three cables attached to the keyboard. To do so you will find where the wires end (the three red marks). The next step is to use tweezers or your fingers to pinch the plastic piece holding the wires, and gently pull the piece out. After that it should disconnect.

    • Remove the plastic keyboard cover.
