Introduction; Tools Needed For Teardown; Warnings - Microsoft 2020 Manual

Introduction

I spilled water on my keyboard and opened it up to clean it, luckily no damage. This 2020 keyboard is
designed spill proof so any spills can be cleaned up by removing the keys only. As I turned my
keyboard over the water leaked into the bottom section so I opened it up to remove all the fluid.
Difficulty - medium - quite a bit of force needed to remove the wrist panel. Otherwise, pretty easy,
as all the screws are the same size but there are many of them.

Tools needed for teardown

1 angled plastic spudger to remove keys (I got mine from a car trim removal set)
1 small Philips screwdriver – all the screws on from this keyboard are the same size
1 small flat screwdriver or small knife – to remove rubber feet and stickers covering screws

Warnings

Removing the wrist panel requires quite a bit of force, so, likely you will break some clips. With all
other steps, do so carefully and you'll have a fully functioning keyboard once re-assembled.
