    1. I honestly feel dumb for asking this, but how do you remove the keyboard. I've read the disassembly guide, found the tabs and have no idea how to proceed from there. Anyone got an exact step-by-step process on how to do this?

    2. Also, do I have to remove the bezel or anything to get the keyboard out?

    3. Anyone clean it out with water yet? The keyboard is water resistant as far as I know.

    As far as I know the bezel does not have to be removed to remove the keyboard.
    I managed to pop mine out by using a small screw driver to push down the 4 tabs along the top of the keyboard, at the F1, F7, Ins and / keys. Once all the tabs have been popped in, my keyboard just dropped out.
    Hope this helps!

    I know its been a while, but finally got around to doing it. I've got all four tabs and the top part lifts out. The right-part is ok, except for the left side. It partially comes out but something is sorta holding it in the lower middle part. When I lift the left section, there is a adhesive like rip until I feel resistance. From what I can see, it looks like the connector but it doesn't seem like anything is holding it down.

    This laptop was RMA'ed a while back, do you think the techs could have had anything done to it? Anyways, what should I do from here?
