    • Slide the keyboard's power switch into the OFF position.

    • A red indicator should be visible beneath the switch.

    • Unplug all cables from your keyboard.

    • Lay your keyboard down with the feet facing up on a clean work surface.

    • If your work surface may scratch the keyboard, place a soft towel under it.

    • Heat an iOpener and lay it on the top left foot for one minute.

    • Alternatively, you can use a hair dryer on the Low heat setting to soften the adhesive.

    • If you're using a hair dryer, only heat the feet a few seconds at a time or you may warp the plastic.

    • The foot should come up without much force. If it feels stuck, apply more heat and try again.

    • Insert the point of a spudger under an end of the foot.

    • Push the spudger underneath the foot and lift until you can grip it with your fingers.

    • Peel the foot up and remove it.

    • Repeat the previous two steps to remove the remaining feet.

    • If you're just replacing the battery, you only need to remove the feet along the top edge.

    • To install the feet during reassembly:

    • Use a pair of angled tweezers to peel up and remove all the plastic film from the foot recesses.

    • If you're installing new feet, remove them from their backing and firmly press them into place.

    • If you're reusing the feet, use a strip of double-sided tape to secure them in their recesses.
