What you need

    • Remove all visible screws from the base of the keyboard.

    • Keep all of the screws together. As you remove a screw, note that it matches the other removed screws and keep the same screws together. Often times there are 2 or 3 screws which are different. Keep those separate, document where they go.

    • There will be hidden screws under the plastic feet, and underneath the serial number sticker. This is designed as an irreversible tamper protection seal. void your warranty. This screw needs to be removed.

    • As a general warning, this is a difficult item to repair and the likelihood of success is low If you are trying to access the keyboard's membrane. There are fragile plastic supports ahead, you will need to take care.

    • After removing screws from the base, you will be able to remove the wrist pad, which will reveal the other half of the battery compartment more screws to remove.

    • Anyway, you need to unclip the wrist pad and unscrew some stuff again. Like 4-5 screws here.

    • As the frame comes apart be mindful that they are connected via this on/off switch. Carefully wiggle one of the connectors to unplug, and set the base aside.

    • This is where it becomes difficult. Scattered around the metal sheet are dark grey plastic supports which have been melted during assembly.

    • They are essentially hot rivets, and are cheaper than screws. Each one is shaped initially as a cylinder or pillar. During assembly at the factory, after the metal plate is installed, these are all pressed down with heat to mildly melt them, resulting in a slight mushroom head which is visible to you here.

    • To unattach the plate we need to break each one with a sharp knife, by cracking and lifting away some of the flattened, mushroomed 'head'. While this is irreversible, it will not prevent the operation of the keyboard. Later, the screws which have already been removed will now bear the entire load of holding these components together.

    • Now you are left with this beautiful view. You can unscrew the ground for the small board and the board itself. You can even unscrew 2 screws on either side of the keyboard.

    • What remains the the key membrane assembly, which is, arguably, designed to be non-replaceable, and non-repairable. [Which prompts the reader to ask why does this guide exist at all? -Ed.]

Great guide! the part about the hidden screw under the serial number in particular was a life saver.

One thing that's not clear is which slots take the smaller vs the larger screws, it would help to annotate that as now I'm blindly screwing whatever fits.

OK so IINM, the 6 small screws all go on the upper half of the reverse side. There is also one slot for a longer screw (closest to the power switch). Anyway the longer screws don't fit in the small slots so it's easy.

Great guide. But I have 2 buttons that are not working, if it can not get to te membrane how can i test it or clean it?

that's ridiculous that you can't do that. I have the same issue.

some water was dropped into keyboard and some keys is not working anymore. Indeed, if it now possible to see the membrane or too much hard to put it back, it seems does not make any sense to fix it. Logitech wins...
