Introduction
This guide will show you how to remove the back panel of the keyboard so that you can see the internals of the keyboard.
Tools
-
-
Insert the plastic opening tool in the crevice between the panel and the keyboard.
-
Apply some pressure and lift up so that the back panel is pried away from the keyboard.
-
Continue to lift until the panel is completely separated from the keyboard.

Lift the panel away with the ribbon cable still attached and set aside the panel so that you can work on other components.

Conclusion
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
In this photo, there is a clear crevice around the edge of the panel and the keyboard. On my Surface Book, there is no such crevice. The panel is flush up to the keyboard with a gap that looks to be maybe 0.2mm max. There is no way to fit a tool into the crevice to lift off the panel. Any tips?
