Completely take apart a Dell latitude CPX-J keyboard

I have a CPX-J and the left control & shift key don't work
intermittently. They need to be pressed very hard.

I suspect this is a loose connection or needs cleaning. I've been able
to take the keyboard out of the laptop. But that is not enough. I need
to be able to take everything apart to take a closer look.

Can someone share step-by-step instructions on how to do this?

Thanks.

Try this Dell web page

http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/systems/pcpxhj/en/index.htm

I have a Dell Inspiron 5000e and the Dell site has complete
disassembly instructions. Hopefully this page will lead you to what
you need.

I checked again. the PDF file 64ptn_en.pdf has complete instructions.
Page 14 is for removal of keyboard. Its a 7.4 meg file.

Its on this page

http://docs.us.dell.com/docs/systems/pcpxhj/en/index.htm#printed_documentation

download the service manual.

Thanks for the info. I've already taken the keyboard out of the
laptop. However I still can't get to the contacts under the keys. The
base has really small screws which I removed. That unlocked the bottom
plate. But there is still more to it. Now I can't see any more screws
and don't want to experiment with my limited knowledge.

Do you know how to get past this?

Thanks
