1. Each key has a spring located at the rear of the key. Using needle-nose pliers, slightly pull
up the top portion of the spring to release it from the key.
Caution:
Be careful not to pull up too much, which could damage the spring.
2. Unlock the key from the pivot anchoring the key to the keyboard chassis. To do this, insert
a small
fl
at screwdriver at the back end of the pivot and press toward the front edge of the
keyboard. While doing so, lift the back end of the key (where the spring was positioned).
