    • Flip the computer over and open the screen.

    • Use a spudger to carefully press in the clip that is found here while prying the keyboard upward from the same side.

    • This clip is very stiff and also made of thin, brittle plastic. This means that it is easy to break off, which is what we did during our disassembly.

    • Slightly lift the bottom of the keyboard towards the screen to locate the keyboard's ribbon cable.

    • Use the tip of the spudger to lift the black retaining flap on the ZIF connector.

    • You should now be able to lift out the keyboard easily.
