    Hi, I want to clean my XPS 15 and would like to get under the black piece of plastic that fits around all of the keys in the keyboard but I don't know how. There looks to be 4 weird little slits at the very top closest to the screen, is that the clue? Any help would be appreciated.

    you have to unscrew all the bottom screws, then you have to VERY VERY carefully proy the palmrest off, and that is how you access your keyboard (from when I last checked)
