When you lift the keyboard, take it easy—don’t yank it out completely! There’s still a cable keeping it tethered to the laptop.
For the easiest push, aim for the keyboard frame near the power button—right where it gives just enough without fighting back.
– With a gentle push, press down on the keyboard and slide it toward the screen. You’ll see the bottom of the keyboard pop right out of the casing—like magic!
– Now, grab your trusty metal spudger and carefully lift and slide the keyboard out. Easy peasy!
