    Hello all,

    Someone very clumsy has spilt a cup of coffee spilt on an X5DC. It was caught pretty quickly and isolated to prevent major damage and has been left to dry thoroughly.

    The laptop itself appears to be still working, it boots fine into windows with no errors but if we try typing in anything (including the logon password), pressing some of the keys produces multiple keystrokes.

    We would like to remove the keyboard to try a thorough cleaning or replacement of the keyboard if it is beyond repair, but I cannot find a service manual showing how to remove it safely for inspection.

    Does anyone have a service manual or can anyone tell me how to remove the keyboard? I don't want to go snapping pieces of plastic trying to remove it!

    Thanks!
