    Hey,

    It's really easy if you know how.
    I tried it 3 days ago too an then i saw that the solution is easy.

    If you have the hardware maintenance manual, you see that you should beginn in the upper right corner.
    So if you pull there you will see that the keyboard is fixed approximately 3 cm left from the right corner.
    This is only 1of 3 or 4 clips on the upper side you had to loose.
    So it's easier for you, when you remove the dvd-drive, because then you can push the keyboard from there up.
    When you push up/pull the keyboard in the right upper corner a bit (not to much!) an then you take a small cutter or something other small knife etc. and pull the clip, you can see know, in the "case" direction.
    It's not good to explain, but you will see it is easy.

    The only thing you had to mention is, that you must push the clip to the case not to the keyboard.

    Hope i could help you.
    My english is not the best, but regardless i try to help you.

    Nice greets,

    Markus

    Thank you very much! These clips are buttons, not something fixed. I just pressed them and keyboard jumped out )
