    Hey guys I had accidentally spilled some drink on the keyboard a few days ago. I want to remove the keyboard to give it a good clean however I am finding it extremely difficult to find guides/manuals for keyboard removal. I have had a look at the back of the laptop and found only 1 'k' screw. I tried removing it but it seems that there is another screw somewhere holding the keyboard still. Any ideas?

    1. remove <k> screw(s) from bottom of notebook.
    2. release keyboard retention clips, usually 3, along the top of the keyboard. Use paper clip or credit card for this - you can see them if you tilt the notebook backwards.
    3. remove keyboard.
    4. reassemble in reverse.

    cheers. I realised one of the screws for the fan actually held the other part of the keyboard.
