great help in getting to the keyboard. keyboard removal requires breaking all the securing posts , but quite easy.

just make sure there are no little bits left on assembly. also take your time and gently fold back all earth straps and insulators etc and then fold back after keyboard is fitted. didn't have one but maybe a hot glue gun would be useful to just pin a few things down.??

anyway all works well so thankyou.

with a good prying tool shouldn't break any components, i use steel guitar picks and standard plastic wedge tools to separate the parts, however glad to know this guide helped.

Thanks for the instructions posted above. Very helpful.

New question. Can the basic keyboard itself be replaced without recourse to replacing the surrounding frame. I attach a link to illustrate what I want to do. The link shows the basic keyboard on it’s own without the fruit ans salad around it. Thanks
