    • Flip the keyboard over, laying the it key-side down onto a clean work surface.

    • The dial will prevent the keyboard from laying perfectly flat. If you need to, lay the keyboard on a soft towel to prevent wobble.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the left rear plastic foot for about two minutes.

    • Alternatively, a hair dryer or a heat gun may also be used, but be careful not to overheat the keyboard.

    • Only one foot (the one next to the power switch) has a hidden screw underneath—you don't need to remove both feet.

    • Insert the pointed end of a spudger at the edge of the foot.

    • Push the spudger underneath the foot and pry up to release its adhesive.

    • The foot should come away from the keyboard without much force. If it feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.

    • Once you can grip the foot with your fingers, peel it up and away from the keyboard to remove it.

    • The bottom cover is held in place by slotted plastic clips along the entire length of the keyboard.

    • Don't attempt to force the cover off until all clips have disengaged. If done correctly, the bottom cover will come away with little to no force.

    • Hold the keyboard upside down.

    • Grip the bottom cover and slide it towards the ON/OFF switch to unlock it from the rest of the device.
