    • You will need a pair of tweezers and a Phillips screwdriver.

    • Remove eight 5mm Phillips #0 screws from the back cover of the laptop.

    • Using a pair of tweezers, remove the five grey silicone covers.

    • Remove the five 5mm Phillips #0 screws beneath the grey silicone covers.

    • Place them aside where they will not be lost.

    I’d love a solution to replace the grey silicone covers which are no longer sticky enough. Can you or anyone else advise? I am open to buying a new sticky circle, just not sure where to turn!

    • Carefully open your Chromebook case and gently pull the keyboard away from the back panel.

    • Place the keyboard aside. Inspect for any visual damage or marks.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, simply follow the steps in reverse. Make sure you replace all screws that were originally removed. Then check that the keyboard is correctly snapped back in place.
