Schritt 1

Find an edge of the red strip along the edge the computer and pry it off using a spudger.

Not sure if this is relevant to this exact model, but the Q701 variant doesn’t require spudging these plastic features off and will can’t be done without snapping plastic rivets. Instead just remove the plastic bar above the keyboard and remove the four screws there. the three screws revealed below allow the entire veneer to come up as a whole (no rivet snapping required!)

Schritt 2

Find an edge of the black cover piece around the keyboard and pry it up using the spudger.

To avoid damaging the keyboard also remove the black strip of plastic at the top of the keyboard under which find screws securing it and remove them a magnetic screwdrivers and care will save you from dropping them inside and forcing you to possibly do a full teardown to recover them.

Schritt 3

Lift the keyboard up and detach the strip connecting the keyboard to the back of the laptop.

Exercise care here not to lift the keybord too far you can tear the ribbon connector if you are too forcefull or inattentive. Downside would be now you need a new keybord (repair is possible but very difficult). Upside, you can replace it with an illuminated one... duck duck go is your buddy.
