@Nukkin

 

I would like to say: this is the most horrible task, keyboard and  top cover are one piece. You have to remove everything because the top cover/keyboard remains after all other spare parts have been removed.

 

And this work is for Authorized Service Provider parts only.

 

Regards.

Seems to be a pretty silly design. Thanks for the reply but I was already past that staring at all those little plastic nubs that were melted to form tiny rivets. Not looking forward to shaving them all off. On the plus side everything else was straight forward to take apart.
