Terrible guide - completely fails to point out the two screws that hold the keyboard down underneath the bottom casing. Bent my keyboard thanks to this.

Awful guide. Wish I'd seen the other comment before I also ruined my keyboard. Thought it popped out, but there's 2 screws under the bottom case that hold it (remove!) … bent the keyboard frame and ripped the screw tabs off. Was just trying to clean it. Now it needs total replacement.

How is this article reportable?
