      • A metal spudger can scratch delicate internal parts. Be extra careful when removing the keyboard.

      • Use a metal spudger to loosen the main frame of the keyboard.

      • A metal spudger should be used instead of a plastic one because a plastic one will probably break.

      • Make sure to get the spudger under the entire keyboard and not just under the keys.
