    • As you can see from the photo, the negative pole of the battery is connected to the main board through the aluminum body of the keyboard.

    • There are two contact areas:

    • Between the battery cover and the KB aluminum body

    • Between the power button assemble and the KB aluminum body

    • If the device has a power problem, we need to check and clean these two places

    Hope this helps someone in the future. I found that if you place your thumbs against the side of the plastic on the "inside" of the keyboard and push towards the "outside" that it will pop off. There are some delicate plastic latches that may break off, though.

Add a little dielectric grease to the battery end cap. Had considerable corrosion despite batteries not leaking. Strange design.

Wow! This fixed actually worked! I was about to thrown this A1314 keyboard out (2009 model)! You can remove the plastic "cap" with a precision flathead screwdriver. Also, be careful when disassembling the ribbon cable - there is a plastic retaining clip holding it in place. Use the precision screwdriver to carefully release the tabs on either side and then pop it out. The ribbon cable will then easily side out. By the way...I'm typing this comment on my newly fixed wireless keyboard! Thanks again!
