    • Insert the flat end of the spudger between the bottom body of the Chromebook and keyboard body.

    • Slide the spudger along the gap, applying downward pressure to separate the two components.

    • You should hear popping sounds as you slide the spudger along the edge.

    • If the spudger gets stuck while sliding, simply slide the spudger back for a bit, and continue sliding forward.

How do you remove the keyboard from the assembly though? And I wish there was a mention of the fact that the heat sink is attached to the keyboard assembly.

Same question as the person above. I need to remove the keyboard from the assembly.

Stephen Mason -

If you look up the parts you'll see that the entire top panel and keyboard are one assembly.
