1138729 2010-09-21 10:27:00 Can someone please tell me how to dismantle this keyboard... I have taken out all the screws but the top still sticks to it like it has been pasted there with Superglue :(

Thanks for your time.

1138731 2010-09-22 00:02:00 Try a thin knife blade to widen the gap between the two halves .... you should be able to see or feel for the clips that hold the top & bottom together. You either have to lever the top out or push the clips in to release them ....

If that doesn't work .... buy a hammer :devil

I have done that, but I am afraid I may break it. I have read on the internet some of these keyboards have a silicone layer somewhere but I am unable to find it.

I have put in ball point pens around all the keyboard in 5 different spots and it still won't come off...

Really the first time Im not impressed with a Microsoft product.

1138733 2010-09-22 09:11:00 Good news, I got it open, bad news, I got it open

there are 2 pins in the center of the keyboard holding it to the bottom, when you yank it... these two pins break... Don't know how we are supposed to do maintenance on the keyboard but nvm.

Keyboard is wrecked, Keys O,0,j,q and . are not working... Will have to get me a new one, but I don't feel bad, because it didnt work anyway. Won't be buying a Microsoft Keyboard again tho.
