I want to replace my laptop keyboard with a backlight keyboard. So I ordered the new keyboard and have my service manual, I take all the screws out just for it to say use the keyboard release tool to loosen the keyboard??? WHAT?? Anyone have any idea where I can get this keyboard release tool? I found a pic of it online but no part number for it anywhere. Help please!

She said that is a picture she found of the Keyboard Release Tool mentioned in the Manual. I checked the manual and it does show using such a tool. I haven't found any place it is available.

@DigitalMom40

I would assume that any similar shaped object could be used-maybe a long wooden skewer,etc.

A wooden skewer should do the job or as we have hundreds at work "Chop Sticks"

You don't need one.  place the laptop on a flat surface, apply pressure to the keyboard, "pulling it down" to create a gap at the top then pry it off.

 

If you must push it off from the back a spunger "black stick" has done it in the past
