    I suck at this stuff apparently, I can't even find a screwdriver that fits nicely, can anyone recommend a good magnetic screwdriver?

    I have tried accessing the slots under the keyboard but I am afraid of scratching/damaging anything, can anyone here help me out?

    Perhaps call your reseller and ask them to walk you through it step by step since you are new at this?

    I mostly use the flat head Hex bit (flat on both ends and six corners, sorry i'm bad with screw driver terminology) to push it out. Does not leave any mark.

    Just a word of advice, a friend of mine has the P750ZM followed the service manual advice; pushing something small through a hole on the underside.
    Be extremely careful with this method as he managed to poke a hole straight through and into the keyboard itself, I forget what the object was now but nothing sharp but there's now a nice little pinprick hole on the back of the keyboard.
    Through some miracle it didn't affect the backlighting or anything else.

    Those or a small torque screwdriver work well. The Philips isn't so bad when used on the keyboards that have a small plastic guard where you push the keyboard out, but on the few systems that don't use it, something flat or blunt is more ideal.
