    I am a little tired of the F3 F4 zone flex, so I want to do something about it.
    How do I remove the keyboard? There is a disassembly guide online but it only tells "lift up the strip cover on the right"...I don't see a place where I can put a tool to lift it up.
    I don't want to damage the plastic...anybody did it already?
    Thanks!!

    Well...already did it. For removal it's just a matter of putting a knife right from the "pause/break" key...just between the two panels, and twist a little.
    Kyboard flex is indeed a design flaw...tehe is no lock for the upper part of the keyboard, just screws on both sides....so the upper part stays loose.
    I just put some tape to make it fit and ... PERFECTO !
    It's still a little loose at the center but flex is minimal....no doubt this could have been resolved prior to sell this babies....shame compal/sager.
