    Plastic Scribe? What can I use to open up the m1210?

    I need to replace the keyboard on the m1210, and I look in the manual and see that it calls for a plastic scribe. I'm not sure what that is, nor do I think that I have one. But what everyday household items can I use in place of this plastic scribe that wont damage the plastic and paint?

    Thanks

    I just go in with a flathead screw driver. Just be careful, you won't have any problems.

    I usually use the end of a Ziptie. Tapered and softer than the plastic on the laptop :)
