    • Wedge a spudger in between the keyboard and the upper bezel (nearest the screen).

    • Pry upward to release the keyboard clips.

    • The keyboard is plugged into the motherboard, so be careful not to pull out while lifting keyboard.

    The keyboard on mine had retaining studs on the palm rest side. Removing according to these directions broke the keyboard.
