  2. pfYGL1XwJquhGQkm

    • Use the plastic opening tool to remove both of the top corner pads.

    • Remove two 5mm Phillips #0 screws on the top corners.

    • Remove four 2.5mm Phillips #0 screws on the top corners.

    Instructions mentioned using a Flathead screwdriver, but the screws are Phillips. A size 0 works for all the screws.

    • Use the pick and pry apart the keyboard.

    The pick tool needs to be listed in the guide tool list.

    • Use the size 0 Phillips screwdriver and remove the nine screws from the back panel. The four you need to remove across the top are 3mm and the four across the bottom are 2.5mm.

    • The screw in the top right, shown where the screwdriver is, is a 5mm screw.

    It is best to list the size of the screws as well as which screws, if all, need to be removed. Also, some screws are different sizes and that isn’t specified. The screwdriver is a Phillips, not a Flathead

    It is easier if the pictures are in the same orientation.

    • Flip the connectors back to release the wires

    • Take the white tab and gently pull it to the right in order to release the connecting piece.

    Possibly consider breaking this step down into three pictures with the actions specified for each connector as they each require a different way to un-clip (one might have tape while another doesn’t)
