    Oh boy, you don't even want to take a CF-T7 apart. It's a brute as the super thin keyboard is firmly glued down, it's almost impossible to not ruin it.
    Turn it over, remove battery and hard drive first, you will see about 4 square pieces of semi clear plastic, say 12x12mm. You need to cut tthem and remove the keyboard clips.

    After that it's a matter of removing the keyboard screws, get the keyboard off, you will need to cut the plastic seal under the keyboard, and remove a lot of screws,all different sizes of course.
    I'm fairly sure you will need to remove the entire top half to split the bottom. Ador might remember.

    After that , throw the damn thing out the window,buy another one and go get a drink, you're gonna need it. :eek: :D
