Step 2
- Once the adhesive has been heated up, take the iFixIt suction cup and lift in a corner. The screen should be separating from the adhesive here.
- While the screen is lifted, insert the ifixit opening pick to help pry off the screen.
- The screen may crack easily as it is thin and fragile.

Was your keyboard cracked before you removed it? I see the first photo has an intact keyboard…
I’ve been given two of these, one with a dead keyboard and the other with a destroyed primary display. I want to transfer the functioning keyboard to the other intact machine. Is that possible, or will that destroy the keyboard?

Hi Sam, it looks like no one has replied - my answer would be that the keyboard will be destroyed. I had to remove the keyboard to replace the battery, and the guide on IFixit for that implied that the risk of removing the keyboard meant destroying it. So I accepted that risk, and now I am trying to source the [right] replacement keyboard. I was sent a Spanish language keyboard, which really isn’t right for me and have said that to the seller and asked for the English version, but sadly they were out of stock. If you have found one please let me know!
