I tried removing all the screws from the back of the Metabox and pried the back cover but it was stuck. I had a hunch there was something more to it but without instructions or videos (couldn&#8217;t find any on YouTube) I had no way of moving forward. I checked the Metabox website and there were no manuals. I contacted the Metabox supplier and in their email, they advised there were two options that they were aware of and they will try to confirm this with the manufacturer to which one was correct:<\/p>\n<p>Option 1 &#8211; remove the screws and then slide the baseplate down<\/p>\n<p>Option 2 &#8211; take the keyboard screw out first and then that will allow the baseplate to come off<\/p>\n<p>I tried option 1 and there was no way the back cover (they called it the baseplate) moved down. It didn&#8217;t budge at all. Option 2 was quite interesting but I had no idea on how to remove the keyboard. There were no screws around or on the keyboard to remove. I was totally puzzled by this statement but I persevered and found a way to do it after watching a video of someone removing their keyboard on a different laptop model and brand.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to write some of these steps here in case someone else is looking for some help.
