Step 2
- Use the iFixit opening tool to get between the keyboard bezel and the outer edge of the laptop.
- There are several clips on all sides that will need to be released. You’ll hear and feel a pop as each clip is released.
- Move the opening tool or spudger around the perimeter until you unclipped the keyboard on all sides.
- This will require a little force. The only thing you don’t want to do is push the spudger too deep under the keyboard. You could damage the internals if you do.
