As always before laying hand on any electronic device we have to remove the battery. Also make sure you haven't connected the power supply.
-
To remove the battery turn the device around and look for the two latches on the left and right side (red rectangles).
-
With the battery removed you may now remove the two screws next to the docking station connector (green circles)

-
Turn around the device and open the screen. Before the keyboard may be removed you have to remove the frame around it.
-
Use a spudger between the c-cover and the frame. Begin at the top and don't be shy as the frame is quite sturdy and flexible.
-
With the frame removed it should look like in the last photo.

-
There are four screws which have to be unscrewed to proceed.
-
Lift up the keyboard carefully as it is still connected by a ribbon cable. (green rectangle)

To be able to pull out the ribbon cable you have to lift the plastic lever on top in the direction of the orange arrow.
