Passo 7

Wedge the plastic opening tool in-between the keyboard and the base of the laptop.
Continue using the plastic opening tool to pry around the edge until the keyboard is completely freed form the frame.
The keyboard should only be connected by a ribbon on the underside of the keyboard.
It is recommended that you slowly pull the keyboard out as your move around the edge. As in picture 2.
Be careful not to pull the keyboard too far away from the face as it will damage the data ribbon.
