    • Using a Phillips #0 screwdriver, unscrew six 4mm screws from the rear cover of the keyboard.

    • The rest of the screws for this guide will be Phillips #0 head screws.

    • Use the metal spudger to remove the rubber feet nearest to the top of the keyboard, where the connecting dock to the screen is. There are two 6mm screws under these rubber feet.

    • Take the metal spudger and insert it into the seam of the rear cover casing and gently pry upwards.

    • If done correctly, you should feel the clips release.

    • Do not force the clips to release. This will cause them to break, making the screen loose. Open the rear cover gently and with caution.

    • Very carefully remove the black tape holding the metal plate in place.

    • Lift up the small white tab constraining the white ribbon using the nylon spudger and carefully slide it out.

    • Lift up the larger black tab constraining the black ribbon using the nylon spudger and carefully slide it out.

    • The regular black nylon spudger should be used whenever possible, especially around sensitive internal components.
