The lower left of my keyboard is sort of lose and sticky and I want to take it off and inspect if further. Looking at GrOOvyOnes bluetooth upgrade review I assume I have to remove the two rear rubber feet to get to two screws, and push a tab up behind the battery to release a ribbon cable. Will someone who has taken apart their TR please confim this? I don’t want to disassemble more then I have too, and I really don’t want to remove the rubber feet if that’s the wrong location for the keyboard screws.

Yes, if you just follow the first few steps of the tutorial you will have the keyboard in your hand without having to take anything else apart.

It’s actually pretty easy.

if you still have questions/doubts about how to take it apart, here are all the step by step picture guides i found on this forum.

thanks again to the ones who made those guides!!
hope it helps

Thanks for the info, but I’m still unclear if the keyboard screws are under the rubber feet or the battery.

This is a quote from the uberdogs site showing TR disassembly

“I also notice that the keyboard is held in place by
only two screws: the ones that were in the battery
compartment! All I needed to do was remove those
two screws, and pry the keyboard up and off. Ah well…”

Anyone know for sure which two screws hold the keyboard?

Ok I got it figured out. The uberdogs site was wrong about the keyboard screws; they are not hidden under the battery as this link says:

For those that just need to remove the keyboard, the answer is this:

1) Remove the two rear rubber feet carefully with a micro flat bladed screwdriver, and then unscrew the two phillips screws beneath them.

2) Underneath the battery there are two white plastic u shaped tabs surrounding a gray insert. Slightly push up on the gray insert with a micro flat bladed screwdriver, and then push the screwdriver inward to pop the keyboard out.

After getting the keyboard out I found the problem. The bottom of the keyboard is a thin metal sheet that was slightly tweaked ever so slightly so as to not seat perfectly flat. This caused play that acted like some of the keys on the lower left were sticking. I slightly re-tweaked the metal to get a firm seating for the keyboard.  :D
